With stories that matter to you, Fox 6 News at 9 starts right now with Breaking Good News. We are following Breaking News on Fox 6 News at 9. A Milwaukee County budget error leads to a multi-million dollar hole to be filled. Why the timing of the announcement could raise some questions. Lessons Plus. He absolutely, without a doubt, would have perished if we didn't act. A vehicle goes up in flames after a crash. The driver trapped inside. And tonight, we're going to hear from some of those who pulled the man to safety also. But you did it for the city. You did it for the state. And you boys ought to be awfully proud to know that you're the first ever Milwaukee Brewer team to be world champion. Fire! A week ago, history made for the Milwaukee Brewers. We relive the special moments from Tropicana Field. Of course, we've got to get to our big story tonight at 9. After a fiery crash on Milwaukee's north side, multiple people ran towards the flames to try and get that driver out. Christina Van Zeltz to talk with two of those people who are being called heroes. Kim and Ben, this crash happened yesterday morning. Two vehicles caught on fire. Without any time to think, two people who were doing a lead inspection nearby heard someone was still inside the truck. And what happens next is all on video. Tons of smoke. I've never seen so much smoke from a vehicle. And then all of a sudden, that smoke just lit up like a ball of fire. Joe Benarik was working near 6th and Chambers when he heard a crash and started taking this video he initially thought was a crime. Until he heard someone yell, there was a person still in the truck. At that moment, I'm like, you know what, either I'm going to be able to help him or I'm going to get hurt. And I just ran, like instinctually ran. To the vehicle, Milwaukee police say just before 10 Tuesday morning, the driver of the truck lost control and collided with the parked car. Both vehicles started on fire. There's so much smoke in there. I couldn't really see his face at all. And all of a sudden he leaned forward to the glass and his eyes were just big and buggy and really disoriented. And I saw a panic in his eyes. And at that moment I was like, nothing else matters. We got to get this guy out of here. But Norrick tried breaking the window, but it wouldn't budge. Then the driver opened the door. The look on his face, he was absolutely disoriented, didn't understand what was happening. Ryan Eigenfeld ran to help too, ultimately helping drag the 63-year-old man from the truck to safety. And you just go. There wasn't even a hesitation. I really didn't feel any fear towards it. You just went in to help. Less than 30 seconds later, the entire truck is engulfed in flames. Within a minute, things could have been dramatically different. Now, the number one thing both of those good Samaritans wanted to know tonight is how that driver is doing today. He was taken to the hospital for treatment Tuesday. We reached out to police for an update on that man's condition, but we haven't yet heard back. Nobody else in this incident was hurt. Kim? Unbelievable. Unbelievable. And the good news is that those Samaritans were not hurt in that rescue. Thanks, Christina. Breaking news tonight, just a day after winning the race for governor, David Crowley's staff say there is a surprise multi-million dollar hole in next year's proposed Milwaukee County budget. They're blaming a computing error. The news of the $4.5 million hole was announced in a memo to the county board ahead of a vote tomorrow to approve the budget. According to the memo, the error was discovered in an automated formula in a process that was previously done manually. A spokesperson for David Crowley says the county executive is confident the issue is resolved and that Milwaukee County will end 2027 with a balanced budget. When asked why the discovery of the error is just being released now after the election, we... We're told it took time to discover what went wrong and come up with solutions to fill the gap. We're told the timing of the memo was dictated by the upcoming budget meeting and not the election. And this news all comes just hours after Governor-elect David Crowley addressed the media today for the first time since last night's victory. The 40-year-old Milwaukee County Executive didn't mention the county budget, but he talked about what he's doing in Madison or what he will do. What I'm focusing on right now is making sure that we are going to be ready on day one. That means that we have to focus on the transition team, working with Governor Hevers, working with legislative leaders to crash the budget, and also throughout this process to make sure that we are ready on day one. But at the end of the day, I want to make sure that we are tackling the issues that we heard while we were on this campaign trail, and affordability crisis and health care are at the top of those lists. He, along with the Lieutenant Governor-elect Sarah Gutlewski, talked about how they want to make Wisconsin more affordable. Crowley did mention he's putting together his transition team, but isn't saying who could be involved. He's also not said when he'll step down as county executive, only saying that it has to be done before the end of the year. And once that happens, a transition will begin. First, County Board Chairwoman Marcilia Nicholson-Bovell will immediately become acting county executive. She will then have 30 days to appoint an interim, and that person will need to be confirmed by the County Board. The winner of a special election will then serve out the remainder of Crowley's term, which ends in April of 2028. And the results of the election are bringing new hope to cannabis shops in the state. Several stores in our area have been fighting to stay open as a hemp ban is set to take effect next month. Yeah, the election could change that depending what happens in the future. Abreu Preciado takes us through what one store owner says this will mean for them and how not everyone is on board with this. Abreu. That's right, you guys. Now, one business in Wauwatosa tells us now that the governor-elect David Crowley will be taking office in the Badger State, they are hopeful come the new year, changes will be made that will help them keep their doors open. For Erin Kelly, keeping the doors of her cannabis boutique open in Wauwatosa is personal. It's just been really tough with the thought of losing this business. She, along with other business owners in the hemp industry, are forced to shut down after a federal hemp regulation takes effect December 11th. But Kelly says a recent change in Wisconsin's legislative landscape is bringing some relief and hope. So we didn't expect the democratic trifecta and very excited that that did happen and now we just need our democrats to take some action and to save this industry. While legalizing marijuana in the state is something governor-elect David Crowley has openly supported other groups are preparing to fight it. Governor-elect David Crowley has said that he wants recreational marijuana in Wisconsin and so we are going to And to reach voters, to reach constituents, to draw public attention to this, to draw our concerns. Daniel Degner is the president and CEO of Wisconsin Family Action and shares his concerns. We're going to see issue after issue that comes up. We oppose recreational marijuana coming to Wisconsin, especially because it harms families, it harms individuals. For now, business owners like Kelly are staying optimistic her business will remain open in the new year. This is my baby, so I have no plans to get rid of her. But the plan is to wait it out and to work closely with our representatives to get that plan in place and get Kelly's Greens back to business. And Kelly says she and other businesses are hopeful Democrats will take action with new legislation in the new year that will help them save the existing hemp industry before it becomes legalized. In the newsroom, Avril Preciado, Fox 6 News. Oh, bro, Kelly's name, her last name is Green, and she sells marijuana. It's actually Kelly, but that's the name of her business. Kelly's Greens. Okay, got it. Okay, turning to weather now. And I haven't smoked a thing. Like looking outside, some raindrops falling around the area. More could be in store for tonight. Yeah. And get ready for the temperatures also to drop. We got changes. Well. Not in the cloud rain department, that's been sticking around, but the temperatures will be a big change, Holly. Oh yeah, for sure. It's finally going to feel like fall, and I'm actually really happy about that, because I feel like we've been very lucky with our fall here, and typically around this time we've already had our first freeze. Not really the case just yet, but we do have those cooler temperatures that will start to kind of settle in our area as we head over the next couple of days. We had a cold front that moved through. We still have the warmer air just ahead of the cold front, the cooler air behind the cold front there. And you see those 40s starting to really show up. Not necessarily the 40s here for Milwaukee. We are pretty fortunate to stay in the 50s. And majority of our viewing area in the 50s, just one area, and that's Juneau, right at 49. Looking at our satellite and radar. We are here just a few of those kind of stray showers that you're looking at here. Strong southwesterly flow of the wind and we're going to... Pretty much be cooler heading into Friday's forecast, Thursday and Friday, and then we kind of start to warm up over the weekend with more sunshine. We are tracking more rain, especially heading into early Thursday. We'll get to that in the full forecast. But for now, here's your evening planner up until about midnight, staying in the 50s here with those clouds sticking around, and that breeze just continues between 10 to 15 miles per hour. So you will need a jacket. But we'll talk more about when you need to prepare for the rain. And what else is to come? That's all coming up next, so stay with us. Back to you at the desk. All right, Holly, thanks. The Packers will face a big test down the road this Sunday, and they'll also match up against a pretty stingy Patriots defense. As sports director Tim Van Voren reports from Green Bay, something more has got to give on the Green Bay offense. It's said to be wise to keep your balance as you go through life. The Packers would like to find some balance on offense. They're 32nd dead last in rushing. Their offensive line's a big culprit there. I think every day is an opportunity for all these guys to go out there and show what they can do. At the end of the day, we've got to make the decision that we think is going to put us in the best position to go win a football game. I think it's just about... Getting the cohesion with the offensive line. You know, like, we've had so many different people play and up. It's more so about just getting the cohesion. Can you win if you're largely one-dimensional offensive? Yeah, I think you can. How? Just got to go out there and make plays. You know, I think as an offense, it's always about putting up points. And we've had, you know, a lot of opportunities we've talked about in these past games where we have a lot of ops to put up more points than we have in some of these games. So it comes down to that. You can definitely win games. But as you know, getting later in the season, Every part of your game has to be dialed in as an offense, as a defense, as a special team. So it's definitely stuff that we've got to keep improving if we want to have our sights set on what we're set on. Illustrating the imbalance for the Packers, they're 5-3 in scoring points. Jordan Love, number one in the league in passing offense. That rushing offense at the other end of the spectrum. In Green Bay, Tim VanVooren, Fox 6 Sports. The only place to see the Packers take on the Patriots is right here on Fox 6, your Packers station. Takeoff 325, of course, will go up right to the Fox 6 Blitz at the 1030 Sunday night. One week ago, it was the moment that changed Milwaukee sports history. And the crowds went wild. I'm thrilled. The Brewers won the World Series tonight. We relive the championship and take a trip back down memory lane, way back, showing you how the manager of the 1982 team is still impacting Milwaukee. And a top administrator at a local high school in the Kenosha County Jail tonight. Delegations stemming from a child pornography investigation. We're back in 60 seconds. Watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. A Union Grove school administrator is arrested in a child pornography investigation. The Kenosha County Sheriff's Office is now handling this case involving 51-year-old Thomas Johnson. He's the top official at Union Grove High School. Authorities seized several electronic devices and Johnson was booked into the Kenosha County Jail. It's unclear if the investigation involved any students. We have no indication of that right now. We're told criminal charges could be filed in the coming days. New at nine, dozens of Milwaukee police officers and members of our community honored for their bravery and heroism. And tonight, the department hosted their Merit Award Ceremony at the Milwaukee Police Academy, and the event was emceed by our very own Stephanie Quirr. Congratulations to all of the winners. So many heroic stories like that. Just everyday citizens, too. Mitch Palacios. Unshakable! Never gets old. One week ago, history made for the brew crew. The first World Series win in franchise history. Of course, the memories made on the field will be unforgettable. And so will the fun times that have followed. I'm going to have a beer for every single person here. I'm having 100,000 beers. Let's go! We haven't heard from Zal in a few days, so he may be doing that right now. Who knows if those guys have sobered up yet. I'm not counting on it. That was a wild couple of days. And this year's World Series, it brought a lot of attention back to the last Brewers team to make the World Series back in 1982. They were known as Harvey's Wallbangers and an ode to their manager, Harvey Keene. Now his son is working to keep his dad's legacy alive. Sam Kramer is here in studio with that story. Hey, Sam. Hi there, Ben and Kim. You may know Harvey Keene's prosthetic leg hangs from the ceiling at 4th Base, the West Milwaukee Bar. Turned into a bit of a good luck charm there this postseason. Keene managed the Brewers in the 82 World Series on that leg. And shortly after his passing in 1988, his son Harvey Jr. helped start the foundation in his name. It helps families with children that are experiencing limb loss to be able to afford prosthetics. They've partnered with the Hanger Clinic to provide that care. And Harvey Jr. tells us his dad would be proud of the legacy he has continued, but says this is about a whole lot more than that. I guess it brings back memories of my dad, you know. But, I mean, the biggest thing is, I think the biggest thing is that we help kids, you know. It's like, it's really like, well, the more money that we can raise, the more money we can give to the kids. The foundation donated $20,000 to the Hanger Clinic at an event this summer to continue that cause. We will hear from a family who has received this help about the impact it's had on their lives coming up tonight at 10. Ben and Kim, back to you. Incredible story. I didn't know about. Thanks, Sam, for bringing that to us tonight. Let's toss to the weather department. It's just been kind of, I don't know, gloomy all day. But for me, I like it. I've learned this today about Kim. She's just like loving the gloom, Holly. Love the gloom. I was like, oh, I should be off today. Oh, you know, I feel like when it's when it's raining, I don't want to be at work. I mean, sorry, guys, I'm the meteorologist. I'll always be at work when it's raining. But when it's raining, like I don't remember the last day I've enjoyed a rainy day and not been at work. But I want to I'm kind of with Kim right now. The gloom and all of that. I just want to have a fireplace. Let me set the scene for you, because the weather that I'm about to show you is going to be exactly what I'm talking about. Fireplace, maybe a book or a good TV show. I know Gilmore Girls, the Halloween or the fall episode would be perfect if you're a lady now. And then there's just so much, you know, s'mores, all the things, guys, football. See, I got you. See, all of that sets the scene to be inside tonight. But, I mean, of course, it is a little bit drier tonight. People are going to get out. We were warmer earlier today, too. So we got to 65 degrees, or that was our warmest temperature. As we headed towards the afternoon, that's when we started to notice that the cooler air came in behind that cold front. So we're now in the 50s. 53 here in Milwaukee, to be exact. Our dew points are right at 47. Visibilities are nice and clear. And then our pressure kind of. On the lower side, you do have that low pressure that is still just in the vicinity. Wind is from the southwest at about 14 miles per hour. So we do got a nice breeze kind of going and blowing really across the entire area. Now, looking at our temperatures here, we got one area, Juneau, right at 49 degrees. Everybody else in the 50s, lower 50s, really almost very close in temperatures. You're either 50, 51, or 52. Other than that, I mean, Milwaukee is the only one that sticks out. We're at 53. But everybody will be dropping tonight, especially after midnight. That's when we'll start to see a little bit more of those 40s starting to pop. So we'll really get to flirting with the 40s by the time you wake up tomorrow. So the cooler air just continues to slowly settle in. Now, this temperature trend chart here is specifically for Milwaukee. Now, we look here at our satellite and radar, and what you'll notice is the rain. You know, it's like, oh, we're dry right now. Well, behind this cold front, we're pretty dry for the most part. However. You see this. This is the center of the low pressure. You got this rain and moisture that's going to wrap around and that's going to basically bring in more of that rain with the wind coming from the southwest. And then you have your low pressure that is pretty much in a counterclockwise motion. It's going to do the rain just the way my arm is going. And that is how we're going to get our rain on tomorrow, guys. So with that being said. Let's look here at our Sky Vision Plus. We're going to break down the timing of some of this rain. When will that actually leave? Thursday is going to be very similar to what we experienced yesterday as far as the rain chances. So we go throughout tonight, more of your scattered showers. Very light showers heading into Thursday, though. You notice here for Thursday, we're going to kind of start to be drier towards the later half of the morning. But the afternoon models are projecting a little bit more of some rain that could kind of come through. All of that, again, is going to be associated with that wraparound moisture with our low pressure. Now, heading into Thursday night into early Friday, we will still get some more of the lingering showers that will be out there. Otherwise, though, we're going to be cleaning up pretty nice and dry for our Friday's forecast. Even better heading into Saturday. Saturday, too, you do get temperatures back to the 50s because we'll be in the 40s for Friday. Friday will be pretty chilly. We recover over the weekend and next week with more sunshine on the way and plenty of happy holiday forecast days for you as well. So definitely stay optimistic for that. There's always a light at the end of the tunnel. We've just got to get through some of this doom and gloom with more rain on the way for tomorrow. Back to you guys at the desk. All right, will do. Thanks, Holly. The glamour of the World Series hasn't worn off just yet. If you'd like to relive the scenes from after the Brewers won it all in the first World Series in franchise history, Oh, we got you covered next as the sports team goes beyond the game. Last week, the Milwaukee Brewers made history and won their first World Series title in franchise history. If you'd like to go back and hear from inside the clubhouse and on the field following this historic championship victory, well, the sports team has you covered as they go beyond the game. What does that feel like? World champs. It's crazy. You know, it's insane. Just even those words and being with my name involved with that, it's insane. The Milwaukee Brewers are the champions of the world. World, that's right. Brandon, how's that sit on you? Pretty cool. There's nothing like it. It's special. It really is. You know, I'm so proud of Max Hall. And I'm so proud of having my family with me in this moment, my wife, my kids. I know 100% my mom and my dad is on the sky, is looking in the air. What ownership does, what front office does, and just this family aspect. And it's unbelievable to see it all come together right here. It means everything. I mean, just to be a part of this thing and to bring this home. I know how much this means. I get a lot of messages, and I'm so thankful for it. And I can't wait to celebrate with everyone in Wisconsin. I really am. It's awesome. Before that, I mean, when I was in the minor leagues, he was texting me, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, that kind of burns. What? What'd you pour? When did it sink in that you guys were world champions? I don't know if it's still, I still don't know if it has yet. I just know I'm super happy. I'm super thankful to God be the glory. I can't even describe how happy I am. Happy for everybody in here. It's such a group effort. It's the players, it's the staff, it's the families, it's everybody. They have to put everything into it. So just to see it all pay off really means a lot. I can't believe it's a world championship, but of course it is. I was thinking about a World Series ring. Now I'm thinking about being the best team in the world, in the world, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Love that. The Milwaukee Brewers just won the World Series! I'm Lauren Bowers, Jake Bowers' wife. And we just won the World Series. We just won the World Series! What are you going to remember from this year besides maybe this moment? Uh, uh, uh, uh, buddy! I'm going to remember how, I guess how much my eyes burned. And I had a general manager say, why are you going to Milwaukee? I said, they have the best fan base, it's a challenge, and you know, I love the opportunity of those challenges. These fans were challenged, all these, for 44 years, and now it's come to fruition. Generations of Brewer fans who had never had the opportunity to see this, right? So it means the world to all of them, and I think there are so many families that have passed the love they have for the Milwaukee Brewers down from one generation to the next, and I think, you know, this sport brings people together, it unites people. You came out and joined me after game two in Milwaukee. And you said it was pretty sick. And I can't tell you how many people have said that to me. It's pretty sick. This is a little more sick, man. This is a little more sick. A little more sick. I'm out of, like, emotions. I've screamed so much. Thank you very much. My heart has reached an all-time high this postseason. And now I need to kind of relax, calm it down a little bit. But how sick is that, man? And somewhere south, Relic is frolicking out there. I think he's still partying. Yes. Oh, what a fun run. All right, well, still to come here on Fox 6 News at 9, it is a cold case that has haunted Fond du Lac County investigators for decades. What happened to Bobby Joe Fritz, where detectives are digging this week in hopes of solving the five-year-old's disappearance? And only one other department has one, and now Pleasant Prairie Police have one, too. Coming up, the new tool designed to stop fleeing suspects quite literally in their tracks. In HOV lanes, they're meant to encourage ride-sharing, right? But some people will try anything to take the carpool lane, the boneheaded way a driver in Arizona tried to fool the cops didn't work. Watching Fox 6 News with Ben Handelman and Tim Murphy. Okay, have you seen this? It is a new tool police are using to quickly stop police chases. It is known as the grappler. Well, that's it. Prairie police started using it last month, and it's already proven effective. RBC in Kenosha County reporter Ben Hanson talked with the police chief about why they're using it. Pleasant Prairie Police Department is now one of two police departments in Wisconsin alongside Monona to use the grappler. I would like to have it on every car that I have. It's a heavy nylon net attached to a bar lowered from the front of the squad, which then gets caught and wrapped in the rear wheel of the fleeing car. We're de-escalating on the behalf of the motoring public, the innocent people that are out there that are in the path of this dangerous person. The net itself is a one-time use, and each replacement costs around $400. The whole mechanism, which can be used 100 times, costs between $8,000 and $10,000. It was created by the company Grappler Police Bumper in 2018. And it's not a magic bullet. When the time is right, when the situation is right, when we get the opportunity, to me it's... There's no greater success than stopping that dangerous fleeing vehicle from potentially hurting or killing someone. Over the past month, Pleasant Prairie Police have had three successful deployments, but just as many unsuccessful ones. Police Chief David Salvage admits he doesn't know how the grappler will fare in cold weather and non-ideal road conditions. Which is why, he said, other departments in Wisconsin are waiting to see its effectiveness before buying in. I've heard rumors of agencies that are already starting to look at it. As a potential to add to their arsenal. If it prevents the loss of one life, it's priceless. In Pleasant Prairie, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News. It's the grappler. New at night, a new twist in a decades-old missing child cold case in Fond du Lac County. Detectives are now excavating additional locations in southeast Fond du Lac County. They're searching. For five-year-old Bobby Joe Fritz, who disappeared in 1983, he was last seen playing with his siblings outside of his home in Campbellsport. Decades later, the search continues. Earlier this summer, officials excavated a basement at a home. New potential evidence, we are told, was uncovered then, but testing is still ongoing. A man reported missing the Milwaukee police back in March is found dead in Grafton. Police say 26-year-old Juan Camillo Trujillo was found dead Tuesday in the driver's seat of a car parked inside of a garage. This was at the new season's luxury apartments on Port Washington Road. Right now, officials are still trying to figure out how he died and how he got there. A blue tsunami during last night's midterm elections. Democrats won the House and Senate across the country and scored big wins here in Wisconsin. It's the first time in 16 years Democrats have a trifecta, total control of the Wisconsin Capitol. In the state Senate, Democrats flipped the chamber and will have the same number of seats that Republicans have right now. 18 seats to the minority's 15. And the Wisconsin Assembly will also be under Democratic control with 53 seats compared to the GOP's 46. And Democrats also flipped the U.S. Senate, winning seats that have voted Democratic in decades. They have not voted Democratic in decades. The blue wave also swept Republicans out of Congress, including Wisconsin Republicans Brian Stile and Derek Van Orden, both losing their jobs. And today we're hearing from Mitchell Berman, the man who unseated style and flipped the longtime Republican district. He joined us this afternoon on Fox 6 Now. Look, I'm excited to, you know, have the majority in the House and be able to work with folks within my own party and even across the aisle to get things done for people here in southeastern Wisconsin. Look, we need to help drive down the cost of living for folks. And those things, some of the low hanging fruit that I think is there for us are things that fall under Congress's authority, which are the. blanket tariffs that we can help pull back. We can also restore the ACA subsidies to help make healthcare more affordable for folks. And those are things that we can do right away, having the majority in Congress, and be able to help alleviate some of the pain for people here at home. It was a long night for Republicans, and it could now be a long two years if the Trump administration and Democrats are unwilling to work with each other. Both parties are now mapping out what their next steps look like. Caroline Elliott reports from Washington, D.C. A decisive Democratic victory has Republicans questioning what went wrong and what their future might look like. A long post-mortem from Vice President Vance on social media Wednesday, blaming the war with Iran for Republicans' rough night, writing, quote, Everyone knows why we lost, and any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there. Speaking from the site of the new White House ballroom, President Trump said he has no regrets. You have no choice. You have to do it. You can't let Iran have a nuclear weapon or everything that you see here. Someday might not exist. President Trump said he's open to working with Democrats. I'll get along probably with the Democrats unless they want to be destructive, but after the power of the veto. But the question is, will Democrats work with him? With large majorities in the House and Senate, the ball is now in their court. And Americans are hoping the new Congress can deliver on the campaign promise to fix the cost of living. Democrats have got to show in the next six months that they are actually performing. They're actually getting something done for the American people. If they don't, I think people will be disillusioned with them. In the House, Hakeem Jeffries is officially launching his bid to be the next speaker, and Chuck Schumer insists he'll take over the new Senate majority, even though some newly elected members have said they don't intend to vote for him. The issue is not me. I'll be reelected as majority leader. But the issue is focusing on the American people and what they want. Democrats say ending the war with Iran will be one of their top priorities. In Washington, Caroline Elliott, Fox News. The number of measles cases in Wisconsin this year have now reached 431. Still going up. State health officials say the outbreak in southwest Wisconsin continues to spread. There are 368 cases in Grant, Iowa, Lafayette, and Vernon counties. There's another outbreak in Chippewa County, and it's not believed that those cases and all the other cases around the state are connected. A bald eagle recovering after it was found in Milwaukee suffering from a severe case of lead poisoning. The eagle was found last week by someone who saw the bird hopping in his neighbor's yard and the bird looked in distress. The eagle was taken to the Wisconsin Humane Society's Wildlife Rehabilitation Center. X-rays show two to three very tiny metallic pieces in its stomach, which the Humane Society says could be lead ammunition or fishing tackle. A fearless father takes matters into his own hands to stop a shooting at an Oregon school. And we're going to share with you his newly released 9-1-1 call. Plus, fall leaf collection, it's no joke. There's more danger to it than you might realize. Tips for your cleanup that could keep you from getting hurt. It's coming up. And we're tracking more of that rain to be on the way for tomorrow. I'll break down the timing of it all. Coming up. Whose hand is that? Our producer. Oh. Oh yeah. Okay. Trending right now, A for creativity, D for execution. A driver in Arizona did this, tried to pull the old okey-doke in the HOV lane. They put a creepy mask. You see this? They placed it over the passenger seat headrest to try and make it look like someone else was in the car. Troopers weren't fooled. The driver got a ticket for the HOV violation. Officers with a reminder for drivers tonight, masks don't count as passengers. That is creepy. That is scary. All right, so a gator walks into a bagel shop. Oh. No, that's not a joke. Happened in North Carolina. Kind of fast. Okay, the surveillance video shows the eager gator sneaking inside, made its way back through the back of the building, the storage room, and the kitchen before ending up in the front of the store. Law enforcement safely escorted the gator back out into the wild. Oh, okay. Oh my gosh. The business also says, oh, word of its fresh bagels made its way to the swamp. I mean, you find a good bagel. You are willing to break in the back door. He looks like a little guy, doesn't he? He does. Wow, she just made a turn, like, oh, I smell bagels. And this is why we have winter, Holly, so we don't have to deal with that. Right. You want to know how country I am? Yes. If we was at home, somebody would put that on the grill. Oh, wow. Okay. You're not talking about the bagels either, are you? No, we're talking about the gator. It's a regional cuisine. I get it. Like, straight gator on the grill. I'll tell you this, though. Alligator bites taste pretty good. They taste like chicken. Yeah. So if you ever get the opportunity. Everything tastes like chicken. Yeah. They're all fried, though, you know? Yeah, well, yeah. On the grill, it's good. I don't know how that, whatever that's called. Grilled gator. That was not on my bingo card for this newscast. I know. I was just like, okay. Okay. I'm just saying, like. Somebody in your family would have gotten that. Oh, that's like normal. Tailgating for football. You got a gator on the grill. You may have some deer sausage. You get everything. You just lay out a slab of ribs. It's all normal. You need to live a little and travel. Yeah, seriously. Yeah, maybe I can bring some gator back. Okay. I'll take it. Yeah, we got a grill out here. Do you put peanuts on it? Huh? Peanuts on there, or no? No. You can put peanuts in your Coca-Cola, though. Peanuts in your Coca-Cola would be good. I've heard of that. We've got to get to the letter. Okay, I'm going to stop for I just really, you guys are going to be like, this Southern girl is just insane. You're going to be listening for what else crazy I say, right? Like mustard on fish. Okay, that's enough, okay? Okay? Guys, you know what else is crazy? We're finally starting to feel like fall because it has not really felt like fall. It felt like we've had really a crazy fall so far. It's been warm. And I remember last year, fall was a little bit cooler. We were getting a little bit more of the sleet and the gruffle and all of that around this time of year. But we haven't got that. Nothing but rain. We got the 65 degrees today, but we've had cooler weather to pretty much come into the area since then. We had a cold front that moved through the area. Yesterday that make cold colder air settle in today. So we're at 53 right now. We were at 65 earlier down to 53 and we continue to drop 47 for our dew points right now. We'll win from the southwest at 14 miles per hour. Now looking at our temperatures. Across southeast Wisconsin here, really not any changes from the last time we looked at temperatures was maybe 30 minutes ago. Still, you see here in the 50s, a lower 50s at that. And then we got 49 in Juneau and then everybody else. Yeah, 50s. We will be getting to the 40s though. And here is where it starts really after midnight. This is a look at the temperature trend for Milwaukee specifically. We will stay in the 50s for the next couple of hours and then you'll start to see us drop to the 40s. Wake it up tomorrow morning. It'll be pretty chilly because We will be in the 40s as well. Now, looking at our satellite and radar here, what you're seeing, it's a cold front. That's a cold front I was talking about that is responsible for dropping our temperatures. All of this rain you see just over to our east, that was in our area yesterday. Now, we're all still, this is all still a part of this low pressure, which this is kind of like the center of the low pressure, right? Well, in the motion of counterclockwise... You'll notice here that rain is going to continue to wrap around. So we've got another chance for rain to come. And it's going to be all of this that you're seeing in the northwest. It won't necessarily move from northwest to southeast. It's going to wrap around and come from the southwest as we head into tomorrow's forecast. Let's take a look at it here on our Sky Vision Plus. We go throughout the night. You see how the rain's kind of having the pattern of coming from the southwest here. That's going to continue to stay the vibe heading throughout Thursday's forecast. Then eventually we'll have that wind direction to change. Thursday evening, you see here, those arrows, that is the wind direction. That means it's coming from the north. You also see here that we have the wind speeds to be kind of elevated around that time. That is all going to prepare us for a cooler day on Friday. So we do have the rain still coming in with cooler air from the north. That continues into Friday's forecast with more of the elevated wind speeds. And then we get those clouds. So it will be partly sunny skies, hopefully for the majority of Friday. We do start to look drier, though, heading into Friday's forecast. Saturday is going to be much better and a little warmer, just a tad bit warmer. We'll be in the 40s, though, for our high temperatures. Low temperatures you see here. And you're freezing. Some areas below freezing on some days. So we've got a 20-degree night on the way. Now, over the weekend, though, we are going to stay dry and sunny. So we've got a few happy holiday forecasts to be on the way and even starting next week. So definitely prepare for the rain. We have another day of this before we kind of dry out and you get to enjoy and resume back to your fall activities. Back to you guys at the desk. Good weekend for yard work. All right, Holly, thanks.

Today, it re-entered the atmosphere two days ahead of schedule. The telescope burned up as it fell toward the Earth. Okay. Its two-year mission lasted nearly 22 years, helping scientists study powerful explosions in the universe. I know, our floor director is like. That's older than me. I love that. NASA tried to save it, but plans to boost it back into orbit failed. Welcome home, I guess, even though you burned up like your crisp on your way back? Yeah. What are you going to do? Okay. A woman and a suspect are dead after a shooting at a Citibank office building near Tampa, Florida. It all unfolded this morning in the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office as a person entered a security perimeter by crashing a car through a fence. That led to gunfire. When he enters the property, he drives over several medians through a grassed area, drives through a secure fenced part of the building, crashes into an outdoor seating area where multiple individuals were having lunch. Upon the car coming to rest, the suspect exits the vehicle with a rifle, approaches the female, and she is shot. After that, we're told an armed security guard employed by Citibank engaged the suspect in the cafeteria of the building. Both individuals fired their weapons. The suspect was later taken to the hospital, where he died. Four other people ended up hurt. Authorities say this was a targeted incident. Authorities in Oregon have released the 911 call placed by a father who rushed into his daughter's school during a shooting last month. Caleb Giamacco was driving home from lunch. When he saw the teen shooter at Silver Rail Elementary School, he called 911 saying he would kill him. Take a listen. A warning, this could be a little tough to hear. 911, what's the address of the emergency? Oh, my God. Hello 911. Yeah, someone's at the school, at my daughter's school with a gun. I have a gun and I will shoot them right now if I- Okay, tell me exactly what happened. Don't do anything. Let me get an officer there, okay? Okay, I understand. Stay on the line with me. What's the phone number you're calling from? Tell me who it- do you know who it is? This is my daughter's school. I'm about to go kill a kid. Do you know who it is? No, I don't- Okay, where- where are they at? Where? I understand. Where is the person at in the school? They're on the south side, entering the building right now. Are they shooting? Is he shooting it? Yeah. Okay. Jim Anko ended up going into the school through an open window and fired his gun, killing the 16-year-old shooter. He spoke about what happened next. I started hearing children pleading for their lives, and then I started hearing gunfire. And I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I just told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do. You know, I called her and I was like, Mom, I just had to take the life of what I think might be a child. The gunman killed three children and a teacher and seriously hurt another child and another teacher. Police have credited Chiamenko with saving numerous other lives by stopping the attack. By calming music, I wasn't expecting that. Close call for a state trooper early Sunday morning. The trooper was outside of his cruiser helping the driver of a disabled vehicle. They weren't hurt, but the driver responsible for the crash and a passenger were taken to the hospital. That driver was arrested on, wait for it, suspicion of DUI. This was the 3rd Trooper Squad struck in the last 10 days there on Interstate 5. Early morning scare at a chemical plant in Mississippi after an explosion happened about 120 miles northwest of Jackson. The incident reportedly involved a fire with a herbicide chemical in a hot box. Nearby residents, they were evacuated. Luckily, no immediate injuries have been reported. Fall yard work It's here absolutely in full swing right now. You wouldn't think it's dangerous, but it actually can be. Fox's Dina Santofani explains why and the simple things you can do to protect yourself out there. In HealthWorks, the trees. They look like works of art right now. Have you noticed all the colors? Pink, orange, maroon, all of it. So beautiful. And most of us have zero complaints about the weather. So if you're keeping score, fall is winning. However, there are some changes that bring us challenges. So we need to take a deep breath, do a few stretches, and perhaps buy a special lamp. Let's start on the ground and then we'll work our way up. So those beautiful leaves, eventually they will come down. And when you try to remove them from your lawn, you can do some damage. From raking leaves, because it's one of those activities that really uses your whole body, we'll see a lot of muscle strain, particularly the lower back injuries make up about a fourth of all the injuries we see with raking. It can include shoulder injuries, arm injuries, but primarily a lot of muscle strain and overuse from raking. To avoid getting hurt, Cleveland Clinic's Dr. Marianne Semego says choose a day when the leaves are nice and dry. That means they're lighter, right? And the weather is mild. When raking, keep your back straight, bend those knees, and avoid twisting your body. If you say, look, I've got a leaf blower, well, that too brings a few risks. We have to think about they're heavier. If you get the really high effective leaf blowers, they weigh a lot. A lot of people, you'll find yourself leaning. So truly thinking about how much you're doing and pacing yourself. And then the other part with leaf blowers is just hearing injuries and eye injuries. So there's a lot of debris that flies. And so watching the direction which you're blowing the leaves and just making sure nothing's in the way. That's HealthWorks. I'm Dena Centifonti. I've already killed my lawn because there was a leaf pile, then the World Series happened, I didn't move it, now the grass is all dead. Maybe next year will be your year. To plant grass, that will be my year. I know what I'm doing next year. Right? Can't do it now. Well, a wave of bomb threats causing panic in the skies. More than a half dozen planes targeted over Europe. The ripple effect that it's having on air travel as authorities search for the perpetrators. Multiple flights in Europe forced to make emergency landings this week because of threats on the aircraft. Everyone made it back home safe and sound, but the incidents are raising questions about larger disruptions across the continent. Greg Polcott has more from the UK. A wave of bomb threats disrupting European air travel. At least seven planes targeted on Tuesday alone. All landed safely and no explosives were ever found. It's not clear who made the threats or how they were issued. It could be an individual calling in a bomb threat and copycats after. It could be... An individual calling in multiple bomb threats in multiple days. Two flights into Poland were forced to make emergency landings. Another originating from Portugal received an escort from the Italian Air Force into Rome. All these threats and warnings happening in the skies over Europe, raising questions about whether the war in Ukraine could be a factor. There could be a Russian angle. We need to keep in mind, though, that Iranian hybrid warfare is Just as active in certain pockets of Europe as well. Authorities have warned of increased intimidation tactics and so-called hybrid threats that aim to destabilize countries with a variety of targets. They are very difficult to predict because they don't require a very. advanced skill set to conduct. Just this week, supermarkets in Europe were hit by a cyber attack that raised the temperature of fridges and freezers, ruining huge stores of food. And new large-scale GPS disruptions have been reported along NATO's entire eastern flank. Though none of the incidents ended in disaster, European officials are taking the threat seriously and bracing for more disruptions. In London, Greg Polcott, Fox News.
