With stories that matter to you,
Fox 6 News at 5 starts right now with breaking news.
And at 5 with that breaking news,
the Wisconsin woman at the center of a racist video that's
gone viral at the University of Mississippi issued an apology today.
That video, which we first reported on Monday,
shows two women making monkey gestures and
sounds outside the apartment shared
by two black female students at Ole Miss over the weekend.
The first woman you saw there is Alaina Kunis, whose grandfather,
Greg, owns the Wisconsin-based Kunis Auto Group.
She graduated from Elkhorn Area High School
and was attending the University of Mississippi.
It's not clear if she still is.
Fox 6 has not identified the other two women.
The family is now represented by a law firm and crisis communicator,
which issued this statement today, and it reads...
To the women I offended and to the Ole Miss community,
I sincerely apologize.
Before the incident on November 6th,
I never met the women involved and was unaware of
their race.
However, I recognize my actions were insensitive,
inappropriate, and deeply harmful.
I would never have intentionally made those noises
or gestures toward a person of color.
I have apologized to the women and pray they will forgive me.
I can never truly understand the pain I have caused them,
and it was never my intention.
These girls deserve to feel seen and understood,
and what I did is not a reflection of who
I am trying to become.
Over the past several days,
my family and I have received death threats and harassment.
I'm grateful for the authorities working to ensure our safety.
As I intend to cooperate fully with the university's investigation,
I ask for privacy for my family.
I understand the seriousness of the situation
and remain committed to taking responsibility
and learning from this embarrassing ordeal.
Now to our big story tonight at five.
Just when a collectible store in Twin Lakes thought it was
over, one of their own steals from them.
In August, our Racine, Kenosha County reporter
Ben Hanson told us about a collectible store robbed
for more than $300,000. Now,
Ben has the details of how
a trusted employee allegedly stole nearly $65,000 from that
collectible store and another not far away.
Ben joins us live with the latest, Ben.
Yeah, after that August robbery back in August,
the Goldenrod City Collectibles installed a new security system,
they installed a new camera system,
and they even put metal shutters out front.
But little did they know,
the thing that they feared the most was on the inside.
He basically lived a giant lie.
Two weeks ago, the owner of Goldenrod City Collectibles in Twin Lakes,
Eric Cabaz, figured out one of his employees was stealing from him.
And did you think...
Alan would ever do something like
this with the time that you worked here?
Oh god no.
Alan Aguilar was allegedly taking Pokemon cards
and giving them away to cover debts
and straight up not paying for other merchandise,
totaling nearly $15,000.
Not in a million years would we have expected it
to be Alan, of all people.
So Khabaz fired him. But not long after,
Khabaz talked with the owner of BS Collectibles,
a store in Silver Lake less than five miles away.
That owner revealed this wasn't new for Aguilar.
According to a criminal complaint, Aguilar stole over $50,000 from B.S.
Collectibles over the course of a month back in 2024.
He did this by taking money supposed to be used to buy merchandise
and keeping it for himself.
Alan was one of the.
He would always bring up how stealing is bad
and you never steal from your friends.
But the owner of BS Collectibles didn't press charges.
Instead, he agreed to set up a contract
with Aguilar, where he would pay $200 back
to the store weekly until the total was covered.
But then last month, Aguilar stopped paying
and responding to messages. Saturday,
Twin Lakes police arrested Aguilar at his home
and charged him with felony theft.
Cabaz also plans to file charges, still thinking about the betrayal.
If it happens again, then I'm going to, you know.
Probably close this and just do it on the side
because there's just too much to stress about.
Having employees and best friends, I guess, steal from you.
The owner of B.S. Collectibles declined an interview.
But Aguilar didn't when we talked
to him back in August about the break-in.
Here he is talking about Cabaz.
This guy is literally one
of the greatest guys you could ever meet and talk to.
Like, genuinely a good person.
And I think that's what hurts the most is, you know,
I don't think anybody deserves to be robbed.
But having such a close relationship with Eric
and having this happen to him is really kind of what hurts.
Yeah guys and I reached out
to Twin Lakes Police Department today and they did not
get back to me to talk about the case.
Aguilar is expected in court on November 24th.
Live in Twin Lakes, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News.
All right, Ben, thank you for that update.
We have new details.
The man accused of beating a beloved MPS teacher to death
made his first court appearance.
Our Bria Jones here in the studio
with the disturbing details outlined in the criminal complaint.
Bria?
Good evening.
A witness told police the suspect punched the victim in the head
20 to 30 times, attacking him until he was lifeless.
22-year-old Daylon Millard is now charged
with first-degree intentional homicide.
You see him there.
He made his first court appearance today
As the prosecution referred to the case
as horrifically violent crime.
Now, witnesses say the victim was at a bus stop near 12th
and Walnut on November 5th
when the brutal beating took place around 5 p.m.
Now, Millard is accused of killing 56-year-old Harry Bruce.
Bruce was an NPS special education teacher at Roosevelt Middle School.
He was also a proud father, coach, and mentor.
According to the criminal complaint, police say when they arrived,
they found him bleeding from the mouth
and nose and lying on the ground.
Unconscious police say surveillance video nearby shows Mallard punching
the suspect continuously stopping and then jumping back on top of him.
Now, the prosecution says it appears that this attack was unprovoked
and that even in his final moments of life,
they say Bruce was trying to help someone else.
One of the witnesses reports
to law enforcement the victim here.
was
In his last moments.
Thinking of.
Her when he told her to go rather than suffer
the same consequences he was suffering.
He does have family that lives in the area.
He has no previous criminal record.
He is taking classes at MATC. He does have to take some medication.
I did have a moment this afternoon to speak briefly with Bruce's sons,
who are still processing this loss.
As for Ballard, his bond was set at $250,000 cash.
Mary, Ted?
All right, Bria, thank you.
The woman charged with helping her cousin,
who's set to go to trial for killing three people,
will now have her case before the same judge.
Bill Nysten breaks down the moving parts in this case.
Thomas Zollicoffer's charge was shooting
and killing three people within 30 minutes of each other
in two different parts of the city this past August.
He's set to go to trial on Monday, the same day a co-defendant who's
charged with helping Zollicoffer is set to enter a plea in the case.
Three months ago, a days-long manhunt ended
when Milwaukee police arrested Thomas Zollicoffer
Zollicoffer following a standoff near 84th and Feebrance.
Zollicoffer was wanted for
allegedly shooting and killing his ex-girlfriend,
26-year-old Vanessa de Herrera, and her friend,
29-year-old Scott Buchholz,
at an apartment near 21st and Pierce on August 8th. Less than 30
minutes after that shooting,
investigators say Zollicoffer shot and killed 39-year-old
21 year old Shamar LaHair at a home near 39th and Townsend.
Short, the defendant executed three people in cold blood.
In the days that followed,
prosecutors charged Zollicoffer and two others with helping him.
A friend.
State believes that this defendant directly aided
his co-defendant in the killing of three people.
This defendant drove him to.
The place where two people were killed
and then from there to the place where another person was killed.
Zollicoffer's cousin.
Here, this defendant is hiding a man
in her home whom she admits she knows killed multiple people.
On Tuesday, prosecutors moved Alana Cole's case
to Judge David Borowski's court,
where the alleged getaway driver
is expected to plea out Monday morning.
Both are potential witnesses in Zollicoffer's trial,
which is set to begin the same day.
Zollicoffer is asking the court to suppress some
or all of his statements to law enforcement,
alleging violations of his constitutional rights
and interrogation pressure.
In the days that followed his arrest,
Borowski revoked nearly all of Zollicoffer's jail
communication privileges after prosecutors
said Zollicoffer tried to tamper with or
intimidate witnesses in the case.
In Milwaukee, Bill Miston, Fox 6 News.
Meanwhile, Milwaukee police are working to find suspects
in a shooting today on the city's north side.
The shooting happened shortly after 11.30
this morning near Fond du Lac in Hampton.
Police say two 18-year-olds were hurt.
They are expected to survive.
Police are working to determine a motive.
No arrests have been made yet.
Milwaukee police need help as they search for a suspect in a burglary.
Police say this man forced his way into a business back
on October 26 on MLK and Brown Street.
He took property. It was closed at the time.
Police say he's about 5 feet 10 inches tall.
Last seen wearing glasses,
a black hooded sweatshirt with an RLX and white lettering on the front,
black sweatpants and black Nike shoes with white soles.
Let's give you a live look over the city of Milwaukee.
It was a magical day. I feel like a little bit milder temps
and bright blue sunny skies. Beautiful day to take in some fall colors.
But yeah, Holly Baker's here to break the news.
And Holly, it seems to get darker every day just a little bit earlier.
I know. And that's you know what?
I don't want to save any more of the daylight.
Is it daylight saving time ending?
Well, if it's daylight saving, I don't know.
I'll get all tongue-tied with it, but I need this to go away.
I like having the sun setting at 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock.
It just makes you feel like you just maximized on the day.
But it's okay.
We at least got sunshine out of the day, so I'll take that.
We got it while it was here.
Now that the sun is setting, we are going to be preparing for a nice
and quiet night ahead of us here.
We do got a high pressure that you see just off to our west.
That is what's going to be keeping us on the drier side.
But you also see all of that rain.
Well, I hate to break it to you,
that's going to
be headed our
right
be one area in the 60s and that's Janesville.
We continue to drop, guys.
Eventually they'll be falling to the 50s as well and then from there
We're going to be heading to the 40s later on tonight,
so it will get chilly again tonight.
Oh, it's such a beautiful sunset.
I do appreciate seeing beautiful sunsets, though.
But here's a look at that evening planner up until 8 o'clock,
keeping those clouds to kind of increase and coming into the area.
We'll keep those temperatures dropping
as well with wind staying from the west.
It's going to be very light, though,
but we'll talk about that rain tomorrow
and when all of that will end.
That's coming up next.
Back to you at the desk.
All right, looking forward to it.
Thanks, Holly.
Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin is kicking off
their annual Food for the Holidays campaign.
Earlier today, our Andrew Amuzu spoke with one
of the campaign ambassadors helping to fight hunger.
And now we get to be joined by here on Real Milwaukee, Charlie Behrens.
How are you doing?
I'm doing really good, Andrew.
How are you doing?
Doing all right.
Doing all right.
It's really cool to be able to see so many volunteers out here.
And I know that you've been from this area.
They have sort of been like, okay, Charlie's here.
This is something that you are also making sure
that you're getting the word out
about 'tis the season for giving,
tis the season for volunteering, all of those things.
Yeah, I mean, that's a cool thing.
Like Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin
last year gave away 2 million meals,
and this year...
I think we're trying to beat that,
but there's so many different ways to do it, whether you're
in the store and you want to drop some in the box,
or if you want to just donate money,
or as you can see, there's a lot
of folks here volunteering their time just packing
this stuff up.
Now through December 31st, every dollar you give to the food
for the holidays will be matched dollar for dollar,
meaning your gift goes twice as far to help twice as many families.
It's good to see Charlie helping out.
He's very passionate about this campaign for sure.
This is a big week for the Green Bay Packers.
They are taking on the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
But before that, all the Vikings made a big move today ahead
of the showdown, bringing back Kirk Cousins.
We'll break down the division rivals coming up in sports.
And you can see that showdown between the Packers
and the Vikings Sunday at noon right here on Fox 6.
You like that?
We're going to wrap up our coverage
with the Sports Blitz Sunday, 10.30 p.m.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day, but before that, today,
the Milwaukee VA hosting a Veterans Day ceremony.
The annual program taking place at the Unity Chapel
at the Zablocki VA Medical Center.
Two local veterans spoke.
There was music from the Milwaukee American Legion Band
and a presentation of colors by VA employees.
Service is not simply something we do.
It's a commitment we make to something bigger than ourselves.
When people think about military service,
they often picture deployments, combat, and
major events that we read about in history books.
But those of us who have served know there's much more to it.
It's the early mornings, the long days,
the friendships, and the people we depend on.
It's the missed holidays, birthdays, anniversaries,
moments with family that we couldn't get back.
And let's be fair, it's also those moments when we wonder why on earth
we volunteered in the first place.
I suspect a few of us in the audience know exactly what I'm
talking about. But through it all, something connected us.
We raised our right hand, we took
an oath, and committed ourselves to serving our country,
knowing that commitment might require
personal sacrifice. And that's something worth being proud of.
Service comes in many forms.
Some served during wartime, others during peacetime,
some deployed overseas,
while others carried critical missions here at home.
Different branches, different generations, and different experiences.
But the willingness to serve, connect us all.
Today's ceremony was followed by a lunch.
As you hear, there are plenty of music.
And it's really a great chance to support military service members,
veterans and their families tomorrow
because November 11th is Veterans Day.
Yeah, but before you donate,
the BBB has important tips to help you avoid charity scams.
They say verify the organization, research its mission,
cautions of solicitations that come over the phone.
Don't donate under pressure
and understand how donated goods are to be used.
Pick 'n Save and Metro Market,
giving veterans a discount on their groceries tomorrow.
The companies say veterans will get a 10% discount on food
and household purchases.
You do need a valid military ID and your loyalty card.
This is for an in-store purchase.
Offer is available at all locations.
It does exclude alcohol, tobacco products,
prescriptions, among some other things.
Fox 6 proudly salutes our nation's veterans
and the organizations that serve them every day.
We believe that our veterans deserve to live with dignity
and independence, but not on the streets.
That's why we are making camo our cause
in support of the Honor U.S. Vets campaign.
You can join us a couple ways.
You can make a donation, and you can wear camo
on Veterans Day, which again is tomorrow.
If you do wear it, post your camo
on social media with the hashtag #HonorUSVets.
To donate and to learn more information on how you can help
U.S. vets prevent and end veteran homelessness,
just scan that QR code on your screen right now
or visit go.fox slash U.S. vets.
Oh, it's just a beautiful day today.
Did you get out there and take paper for a walk?
Every leaf is gone from my property.
No more leaves are allowed to visit.
And I guess the wind's going to blow
in a whole bunch more tomorrow, right, Holly?
Right.
I mean, hopefully not, though.
Hopefully, since you've got all your leaves and hopefully
your neighbor's in, too, you don't have to worry about it.
Maybe a little bit just to kind of still set the scene for fall.
But we're going to have rain tomorrow.
So I would hope that if you haven't got your leaves yet.
Maybe you want to start getting those because
that rain is not going to make it be a pretty sight.
But the good thing is we're going to be having
dry weather to come in the forecast as well,
which we'll talk about it all in this forecast.
Let's start with our temperatures today.
We got to 64 degrees for a high temperature today and I am impressed.
It felt really good out there overall. I remember
when we were in the 80s and the 70s, I'm like, I don't want 60s.
And now we're in the 60s and I'm appreciating it because I felt how
cold it's been or how much cooler it is before we warm up to the 60s.
Our normal temperature you see here is about
50 degrees. So we are about 14 degrees above that average.
We're down to 59 degrees here in Milwaukee.
Dew points are at 33. That's pretty dry.
And then our wind is from the west at about five miles per hour.
And I do want to point out to you with dew points starting to be lower
and that's kind of going to be our trend.
That means we're going to continue to have this drier air.
And if you're someone that struggles with maybe sinuses during
this time, you may want to start turning on that humidifier
to add some humidity back into your house so that you don't have
to worry about your sinuses being affected by this.
That will definitely help you,
especially as we start to lean into some of those winter months.
Looking at our conditions here with our temperatures,
we are starting to see more of the temperatures falling.
We were seeing 60s by the lake.
No longer the case.
We have no 60s in our area.
Everybody's in the 50s.
And then we got Burlington down to 49.
Everybody will be dropping, though,
as we continue throughout the night.
We are still trending warm in some spots,
5 degrees warmer in Racine and even in Milwaukee.
Also 5 degrees cooler.
So we're trending warm in some spots, cool in other spots.
So 5 degrees cooler in...
In Madison, excuse me, and then four degrees cooler in Watertown,
and then you got some areas where there were not any changes.
Looking at those temperatures and how they
trend throughout the night, I'll tell you this.
There's going to be some changes on the way,
and if you don't notice it tonight, you will notice it throughout
the rest of the week because we've got to.
Cooler air mass is going to be coming in from the north,
so that's going to bring us down to below freezing.
So this temperature trend eventually won't
be saying 40s as we head into the overnight.
It'll start to say 20s, upper 20s at that.
So looking at the temperatures and how they're trending,
we'll get down for tonight in the 40s.
And then when you wake up tomorrow,
some areas could even be in the upper 30s.
But as for Milwaukee, we should be right at that 40 degree mark.
Looking here at our satellite and radar,
nice and quiet across the entire state.
And that's all thanks to this high pressure here.
Now, that won't stay with us for long as we
do have more of that lousy weather to come.
You even see it just kind of off in the corner there.
That will make it to our area by tomorrow's forecast.
As for tonight, though, you will start to see more
of these clouds increasing in the area.
Let's take a look here on our Sky Vision Plus.
So, you see here, we go throughout the night.
Clouds start to increase in the area.
It's not until we make it to Wednesday morning where we could see
a chance for more of that rain.
This is going to be lighter rain,
and it's going to be kind of on and off throughout the day.
So, we will have a chance for some dry time.
So, you don't have to worry about it being an all-day situation.
We will also be pretty windy, especially for Thursday.
Thursday is going to be our windiest day,
but we do keep that breeze going in for Friday.
Much drier on Friday, partly sunny sky conditions,
and temperatures continue.
to stay in the lower 40s, 20s overnight.
And then as we head towards next week,
that's when we start to warm up a little bit more near 50 by Monday.
Back to you, Mary.
Oh, good, a little warm-up. That's good.
You know, hunters, you need a little bit warm.
Heads up, the gun deer season almost here.
Getting close.
What you need to know before you head out to the woods...
And as it does get cooler outside,
Fox 6 is helping keep kids warm one coat at a time.
The 42nd annual Fox 6 Coats for Kids Drive is underway.
We'd like your help.
Donate new or gently loved winter coats
at Steinhafel's, Landmark Credit Union,
or the Salvation Army through December 6th.
Or scan that QR code on your screen and you can safely donate money
that will buy brand new coats for the campaign.
For more info about Coats for Kids, go to our website, fox6now.com.
Well, we're all always looking for ways to save money.
Gas prices have come down a little bit.
That's helped.
A little bit recently.
And our Maddie Stelk today spoke with Patrick DeHaan
on Fox 6 Now to explain the decrease.
I was looking at your social media earlier today,
and it was like potentially below $3 a gallon by Thanksgiving.
And I know you talked about a few of the reasons,
but you also posted talking about the election as well.
So is there any contributing factors there as far
as gas goes now that we are, I want to say, what,
maybe like a week out or a week after the election?
Well, there's probably some low-level impact.
I think the majority of Americans probably, you know,
Depending on their political agenda are gonna say there's
a ton of factor or no factor from that.
And the reality, my reality is that both Democrats
and Republicans after the elections are going to
feel more pressure to find some resolution between the US
and Iran and the geopolitical tensions.
Look, Americans voted.
I think the economy, gas prices were a very high level issue,
I think for both sides of the political spectrum.
And I think that was made obvious by the outcome of the election
is nobody likes high gas prices is somebody that tracks gas prices.
Incessantly, I can tell you that it
is a very polarizing number to see high prices.
And of course, Americans love lower prices.
So I think there is an element here that the
election results are going to cause both political parties
to look at the issues more carefully.
And that's going to mean that maybe next time instead
of escalation, the administration
already saying it probably won't escalate
and it was talking about de-escalation. So
Maybe the administration's already kind
of rethinking its strategy, but I think the
majority of what we're seeing is seasonal,
and especially those refinery maintenance
issues that have hit us in early September
and then again around the September 21st mark.
Keep in mind, that's probably as much relief as the seasonal trends.
Once the refining issues get improved,
we've often said that prices will go down.
Well, we can't wait for that day.
As you drive around downtown Milwaukee these days,
you're going to start feeling like the holidays are already here.
We're going to show you how Cathedral Square,
already getting in the spirit, is always beautiful down there.
We'll take you there next.
530 right now. What a gorgeous fall day today was and there's more fall
on the way and the form of falling temperatures that is Holly Baker,
right? Yeah, falling temperatures.
I don't know if I'm ready yet. I don't know if I'm ready yet.
I was ready for her to feel the fall crisp,
but it's almost like our temperatures are just, you know, they're like,
okay, we'll give them the crisp for a week and now we got to get
to where things get a little bit more on the colder side.
I was wanting us to stay at least in the 50s, 60s.
Upper 60s, a little bit longer, but that's not going
to be our case over the next couple of days throughout this week.
We first look at our satellite and radar, though.
We are quiet right now.
We do start to see a little bit more of those clouds increasing
in the area, but we do got a high pressure to keep us dry for now.
That does go away, though, because we are going to be tracking
a chance for rain heading into the forecast tomorrow.
Looking at temperatures here,
we also got cooler air that's going to be on the way.
See all of that cooler air just to our north?
That is going to be pushing southward, so we will be affected by that.
By the end of this week, you will definitely know the difference.
Won't be seeing any 50s, I'll tell you that.
We're at 59 right now, so take advantage of how nice it feels now.
It's not going to be the case over the next couple days,
which you'll see in our six-day planner.
But looking across our surrounding areas here,
we've got Watertown that has dropped to 49, along with Burlington.
Everybody else is in the mid to upper 50s,
and then we've got some areas in the lower 50s.
We will continue to drop as we head throughout the night.
In fact, by 8 o'clock, we will make it to at least the upper 40s.
We'll start to have more of those clouds thickening up in the area,
and then we'll have that wind.
Stay in pretty light for us.
We do have more of a warm-up to come next week, though.
So we'll talk about the cool-down,
then the slight warm-up on the way, plus the rain.
That's coming up next.
Back to you at the desk.
All right.
Thank you, Holly.
The state of Wisconsin is in for some big changes
on so many parts of daily life.
Democrats are preparing to take control
for the first time of the entire Capitol in 16 years.
Jason Calvey is here to explain what could happen next.
They won the trifecta.
What are they going to do with it?
Well, Ted, Democrats were tight-lipped
about what exactly they would do first.
Today, they met with the governor-elect behind closed doors.
Governor-elect, what do you want the legislature to do on day one?
Governor-elect?
Today, Governor-elect David Crowley met
with the soon-to-be majorities in the Assembly and then the Senate,
but he dodged my questions about what should come on day one.
It'll be the first Democratic trifecta in 16 years
as the party keeps the governor's office
and flips control of the Wisconsin Senate
and flips control of the Wisconsin Assembly.
Democratic leaders who did talk didn't give much
on their plans for the first days.
What policies and issues will go first?
No one would say.
Leaders said they wanted to talk to their new majorities.
They did talk about tackling affordability and legalizing marijuana.
The future assembly speaker you see here there
also talked about free school meals for all students,
investing in public schools, lowering property taxes,
and regulating prescription drug costs.
Today, legislative Democrats picked their new leaders.
The assembly's next speaker will be Gretchen Neubauer of Racine,
the first woman to ever serve as Wisconsin's speaker.
And the next Senate Majority Leader will
be Diane Hesselbein of Middleton.
And the next Senate President will be Mark Spreitzer of Beloit.
Making sure that we fully fund our schools
and don't force them to keep going to referendum.
Making sure we have better ways to fund our local governments.
Tackling AI and data center regulation.
Making health care, child care, and housing more affordable.
Protecting our environment and so much more.
We will chart a new path forward for our state.
Taking this mandate and doing everything
in our power to move Wisconsin forward.
We are going to lower costs, build great schools,
and protect people's rights.
I'm not optimistic. I don't like their agenda.
I think it's bad for the state.
I'm hopeful that the Republicans will be a little more aggressive.
I believe we have a lot of the right answers
and our platform is the best to pursue.
For prosperity.
That was Republican Bob Donovan,
who lost his re-election bid, but he swept out.
He was swept out of office in that national blue wave.
Voters again and again said their number one issue was the economy,
and they took out their anger on Republicans in Wisconsin
and across the country,
even in strong Republican states like Texas and Kansas.
Ted and Mary.
Jason, there's talk of this national popular vote.
Act, you know, coalition where a legislature promises
the electoral votes in Wisconsin's
case 10 to the winner of the popular vote.
Are they already talking about being part of that?
The governor-elect David Crowley did talk about that,
not in the segment you saw there where he
did dodge questions in the hallway.
Democrats today in both the Senate and the Assembly,
we spoke to leaders in both chambers,
and they weren't committing to that, but they said really
on all these proposals, whatever we asked today,
they said they wanted to talk to their majorities
to hammer out what exactly will
be the policies moving forward on day one.
All right, Jason, thank you.
You know, it may not feel like it outside,
but the holidays are approaching quickly
and the city of Milwaukee is getting in the spirit.
More than 2,300 students from 101 schools will keep
the tradition going of decorating Cathedral Square Park.
Each tree represents a class, theme,
or a wish through handmade ornaments.
Decorating started today, it's going to go through November 18th.
The Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival starts on November 19th.
The fun gets going that night at Pier Marquette Park,
and the festival is going to run through New Year's Day.
It's always fun if you get on there
during the day when you can read them
and see some of the ornaments.
Or to be down there when a kid is showing his mom and dad,
look, this is a tree our class made.
It's pretty neat to see that, too.
Basketball heating up in downtown Milwaukee.
We are talking elite college prospects.
The state's best will be competing
at the third annual Deer District Prep Showcase.
The third annual Deer District Prep Showcase really brings together 12
of the best basketball schools in the state of Wisconsin,
gives our student-athletes an opportunity to play on an NBA court
and welcome fans from around the state to Fiserv Forum
who maybe haven't been here before and gets an opportunity
to see some really high quality youth basketball.
So we're thrilled to have it back again and can't wait for January 2nd.
That showcase has become an exciting annual event
for players, coaches, families,
and Hoops fans from across the state of Wisconsin.
There's a lot of good talent out there, for sure.
For sure.
After winning the World Series with all that talent,
could Brewers manager Pat Murphy earn
another prestigious award this offseason?
We'll fill you in.
And with the NFL trade deadline now long past,
did the Packers make any moves, anything?
Their division rival certainly turned up the heat, Lily Zhao.
Let's tell you who's going to Minnesota next in Fox 6 Sports.
You're watching Fox 6 Sports with Lily Zhao.
The NFL trade deadline has come and gone,
and the Packers will go the rest of the season
with a team they currently have in-house.
And if you're wondering, can this current group get the job done?
Well, the coaches certainly believe so.
After all, here's who's coming back for the Packers.
Defensively, veteran linebacker Isaiah Franklin working
his way back from a shin injury.
And, of course, their superstar, Micah Parsons,
who is currently in his 21-day practice window.
On the offensive line,
starting center Sean Ryan should also return from an ankle injury.
But what about the
The running back room with Josh Jacobs now headed towards surgery
on that fractured ring finger.
Would they have added there?
Not necessarily.
I think, you know, there's a good chance
that Chris Brooks will be back.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
So it was encouraging to see what Caleb did out there,
and certainly Marshawn's played for us as well as Pierre.
Okay, thank you, guys.
Enjoyed the Kirk Cousins tape.
Ha, ha, ha.
I bet my car.
Well, it looks like Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon
might have to bet his car because guess what?
Kirk Cousins will make his return to the NFC North.
The Vikings pulled off a trade with the Raiders
that brought Cousins back to Minnesota
in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick.
This wasn't a surprising move, though.
After a dismal performance from Carson Wentz on Monday
and Kyler Murray dealing with an injury,
Kirk Cousins will walk back into Minnesota
with knowledge of their offense after three years away.
Now, get this.
This is last game for the Vikings was back in 2020.
23 at Lambeau Field.
That's the game he tore his Achilles in.
And his first one back will likely be this Sunday at,
guess what, Lambeau Field.
And you can catch this must-watch divisional battle
at noon right here on Fox 6.
And then be sure to join us
on the Fox 6 Sports Blitz Sunday night at 1030
for an in-depth conversation about the game.
Another must-watch program will be at the top of the hour
when the National League Manager of the Year Award will be announced.
And World Series champ and Brewers manager Pat Murphy
is up for that award for the third straight year.
The back-to-back winner has another good case to win this time around.
He's one of three finalists,
along with Atlanta's Walt Weiss and Philly's Don Mattingly.
This year, Murphy led the Brewers
to a franchise-best 103 regular season wins.
And, of course, their first World Series title in franchise history.
We'll know more in the next hour.
And that's it for sports.
We'll be right back.
Here is a sign that colder weather is coming.
The Wisconsin DNR reminding hunters
that the 2026 gun deer season is almost here.
It opens November 21st, runs through the 29th.
All harvested deer must be registered electronically
by 5 p.m. the day after the deer is recovered.
Hunters need the unique harvest authorization
number associated with each permit.
The DNR reminds you to treat every gun as if it's loaded.
Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
Be certain of your target and keep your finger outside
the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
And one thing hunters always are asking for,
just a little bit of track and snow, just so they can go.
Oh, yes. A nice light layer, Holly. Can they have it?
The deer want sunny and 70.
Exactly.
Exactly.
.
Uh, snow maybe over Lake Michigan by the end of this week.
Not a lot of hunting though.
That's as much snow as we probably will get.
But I will say this.
We are going to start seeing a forecast where snow
is going to be coming at some point.
We already know.
We're just anticipating on how much.
But speaking of snow, let's just take it back to a year ago, right?
Do you remember where Racine and Kenosha saw a foot?
We're a little over a foot of snow here,
and that happened because we had a lake effect snow band.
We pretty much had that to come with the northeasterly winds,
so that pushed a lot of it inland,
and that's what resulted in us seeing
so much snow for that particular area.
Now, we go to today, and we have no snow. We have nothing but sunshine.
That shows you how things can change over the years
and as days progress on,
and we're even trending warmer than what
our actual average is right now.
We're 64 for a high temperature.
Average is 50 degrees, so 14 degrees above our average.
Our low temperature this morning was 44.
Although it was chilly, that's not as cold
as what we're actually supposed to be.
And you see here, we are supposed to be around 35.
And I tell you this, we're going to get there.
So if you're waiting on the cold weather,
oh, you don't have to wait much longer
because the second half of this week,
you're going to be singing and feeling.
Those temperatures below freezing. Yeah, I said that below freezing.
We're at 59 degrees right now here in Milwaukee
and then our dew points are right at 33. We do have dry air out there
and I want to mention this because if you're like me where you deal
with sinus problems, especially when the weather gets dry,
you may want to start bringing out that humidifier.
It's going to be your best friend with drier air kind of moving
in as well as the colder air. It's going to help kind of keep you.
From getting sick or just feeling terrible within your sinuses.
So we do got drier air coming in, just to let you know.
I'm throwing it out there.
Wind is from the west currently at about 5 miles per hour.
So we do got light wind overall.
Looking at temperatures across southeast Wisconsin,
we kind of get a mix of everything.
So we get a few areas that's flirting with the 40s,
then we get some areas in the 50s.
Our warmest temperatures are by the lake here,
and that's Milwaukee, and we're seeing in the upper 50s.
We also got some of those 50s inland, so Madison at about 52,
40s as well, 45 in Watertown, 44 in Burlington, and 48 in West Bend.
And then you look at our temperatures
and how they've changed over the last 24 hours.
We got some areas that's changed.
We got some areas that hasn't changed.
And we got some areas that are warmer.
So we got cooler, warmer, and no changes.
That's kind of what we're dealing with.
For Milwaukee, still trending warmer.
The further you go inland, they are trending a bit cooler.
Speaking of cooler, as we go throughout the night,
those temperatures will continue to drop.
We will be in the 40s by the time you wake up,
especially for Milwaukee.
Some areas inland could even see upper 30s.
Looking at our satellite and radar,
we keep conditions dry, especially overnight.
But we will start to see more of these clouds.
Those will continue to move into our area overnight.
So you'll wake up tomorrow with more clouds
and also a little bit of rain.
Let's look at it here on our Sky Vision Plus.
So we go throughout the rest of tonight.
You start to see the clouds coming in, right?
Then we head towards Wednesday morning, a little bit of some rain.
Now, these are just lighter showers,
no severe weather to be expected at this point,
just light rain showers, and it's not going to be an all-day thing.
We will get some breaks within the day for some of these showers,
especially for the afternoon.
And then as we head towards Thursday's forecast,
maybe a little bit of that rain could be left over
And even a little rain,
snow mix for the very northern, northerly, the top.
So just north of Sheboygan can see a little bit of a rain and snow mix.
Majority of that snow and rain will stay over Lake Michigan,
heading towards the later half of the week.
Temperatures do cool off, though, even more.
We'll be in the 20s with those lows.
And then as I step out the way and we head towards next week,
you see me warm back up to near 50 by Monday.
Back to you, Mary.
Thank you, Holly.
Every year, more than 200,000 service members leave active duty
to return to civilian life.
And for many, some of the biggest challenges come
when their time in the military is over.
But one nonprofit is helping veterans take off on a new career path.
Fox's Chelsea Torres is live in New Orleans tonight.
And Chelsea, this program is helping vets find opportunities
in a fast-growing industry.
Yeah, that's right. Ted Mary, that fast growing industry has
to do with the drones and that nonprofit is Vets to Drones.
They're helping veterans find that second career once they leave
the military. And the group is providing training, resources,
everything that a retired service member would need so that way they
can earn their FAA commercial drone license. And it's all for free.
Boom, there's the shot.
Marine Corps veteran Chris Lewis started flying drones
as a hobby when he left active duty.
I ended up right back in the civilian world,
searching for answers, I guess.
Eventually, something clicked.
Lewis realized the skills he was using to fly drones
were some of the same ones he developed as a Marine.
This fits what we did in the military, right?
Those same...
you know field skills
or infantry skills discovering this led him to launch Vets to Drones
a non-profit helping veterans break into a fast-growing industry
needing more pilots all
while helping them find a renewed sense of purpose
and community so i still live
by the Marine Corps motto you know honor courage and commitment dusty
Lopez transitioned to disaster recovery
and insurance work when he left the military
but then he connected with Vets to Drones
which he says took his business to new heights
Training to use drones for surveillance and damage assessment.
A week ago on our VA project in Atlanta,
so we were doing an inspection of the hospital.
Veterans across the country are using drones just like
this one for STEM programs, agriculture,
security, and even search and rescue operations.
During Hurricane Ida, I actually saw more
of the city than I've ever seen growing up here.
What we were doing was creating these like a Google 360 view,
but from the sky with a drone.
Vets to Drones says it's grown to nearly 8,000 members,
with hundreds licensed as commercial drone pilots.
It's an incredible feeling when I get
that phone call that says, hey man, thank you.
I had no idea this was a thing,
and now I'm able to feed my family with this new skill.
And according to the FAA,
the commercial drone industry is booming with pilots in demand
for so many things such as construction
and real estate to farming and even infrastructure inspection.
Ted Mary, back to you.
So interesting, Chelsea.
This not only provides a little financial boost to Foundation,
but also emotionally
so many veterans do struggle with some emotional challenges at times.
This sounds like a great way to engage,
make them feel validated, give them purpose.
It really does, you know, and a lot of these guys that I was talking
to are veterans and they were saying this is that camaraderie that they
were really trying to find once they left the military. And for some,
you know, they left the military not really planning to leave.
And so it was very abrupt.
And this definitely gave them that repurpose again.
Your standup was clearly shot by a drone.
Was that one of those guys doing that or somebody on the Fox end?
No, that was definitely one of those guys.
I was directing them, telling them what to do.
I told them, let me know if I'm too demanding.
But I think they did a great job.
Chelsea Torres reporting live.
Never demanding.
Thank you, Chelsea.
All right, thanks.
One Wisconsin veteran is celebrating her birthday.
Yeah, she's 103.
And she's sharing her secret to living a long life with us.
That coming up in three minutes.
She can't miss this.
All right.
A veteran and a 28-year volunteer at the VA Hospital
in Madison is turning 103 years old.
Happy birthday, dear May.
Happy birthday to you.
Back in 2024, Mae Bryant was the only female veteran
to take the Badger Honor Flight.
And yesterday, the VA hospital gave her a birthday party.
Mae was sent to Germany to be a physical therapist
for soldiers in World War II.
She's volunteered more than 6,000 hours there.
That's the equivalent of 250 days.
Just don't ask her what her secret for a long life is.
I wish nobody would ask me that.
Yeah.
Because I don't know.
I always claim that it's because I have oatmeal for breakfast.
Somebody get her an endorsement deal again.
Happy birthday, and thanks for your service, Mae.
