President Joe Biden to visit North Carolina, survey damage
DAY IS OVER. WE’LL SEND IT BACK INSIDE TO YOU. 100,000. WE CAN DO IT, KENNY. THANK YOU. THE PIEDMONT TRIAD IS COMING TOGETHER TODAY TO HELP PEOPLE IMPACTED BY HELENE. OUR ERIN BURNETT JOINS US NOW FROM TWO CITIES CHURCH IN WINSTON-SALEM. THAT’S WHERE THEY’RE HOSTING A DONATION DRIVE BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW, OF COURSE, TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. THEY SAY THEIR GOAL IS TO FILL UP THIS HUGE TRACTOR TRAILER WITH PACKS OF WATER, DIAPERS AND NONPERISHABLE FOODS. ON THURSDAY, THEY’LL TAKE ALL THE ITEMS THEY COLLECT TO BOONE DIRECTLY TO THE AID AND RELIEF ORGANIZATIONS HELPING ON THE GROUND. ORGANIZERS AND DONORS TELL ME THEY WERE HEARTBROKEN AFTER SEEING THE DEVASTATION THAT HELENE CAUSED, NAMING THEIR FAITH AS A DRIVING FORCE THAT HAS CALLED THEM TO ACT. AND IF YOU’RE ABLE TO DONATE TWO CITIES CHURCH ASKS THAT YOU PLEASE DROP OFF THOSE ITEMS ONCE AGAIN, WATERS, DIAPERS AND NONPERISHABLE ITEMS ANYTIME TODAY AND WEDNESDAY BETWEEN 9 AND 5. AND IF THEY FILL UP THIS TRUCK, THEY SAY THEY’RE PARTNERING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES TO DONATE EVEN MORE. SO THEY SAY BRING AS MANY SUPPLIES AS YOU CAN. IN WINSTON-SALEM, I’M ERIN BURNETT, WXII 12 NEWS. ALL RIGHT, ERIN, THANK YOU. THE ROCKINGHAM COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS ALSO HELPING TO COLLECT ITEMS FOR PEOPLE IMPACTED BY HELENE. THEY ARE PARTNERING WITH FLOYD MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH TO COLLECT BOTTLED WATER, FLASHLIGHTS, BATTERIES, AND ANY NONPERISHABLE FOOD ITEMS. YOU CAN DROP OFF DONATIONS AT THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE ON JUSTICE CENTER DRIVE IN REIDSVILLE, NOW THROUGH OCTOBER 13TH, AND HERE ARE SOME PERSPECTIVE ON JUST HOW MUCH RAIN FELL LAST WEEK. THE HEAD OF NOAA’S NATIONAL WATER CENTER BELIEVES AT LEAST 40 TRILLION GALLONS OF RAIN DRENCHED THE SOUTHEAST AND THAT’S FROM HELENE. AMONG OTHER RAIN STORMS AND YES, THAT’S QUITE A LOT IN FACT, THAT’S ENOUGH TO FILL THE DALLAS COWBOYS STADIUM. NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, BUT 51,000 TIMES. IF IT WAS CONCENTRATED ON THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, IT WOULD BE 3.5FT DEEP. WOW. A MAN IS BEHIND BARS ACCUSED OF KILLING A WOMAN. HE WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH IN GREENSBORO ALMOST A YEAR AGO. 36 YEAR OLD PHILIP NEAME IS CHARGED WITH FIRST-DEGREE MURDER AND ROBBERY WITH A DANGEROUS WEAPON. HE IS CURRENTLY IN THE GUILFORD COUNTY JAIL UNDER NO BOND. DETECTIVES SAY NEAME SHOT SHANITA ALLEN ON NOVEMBER SIXTH OF 2023. THE 36 YEAR OLD WAS FOUND WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND LYING ON MCNIGHT MILL ROAD. SHE WAS RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL BUT LATER DIED FROM HER INJURIES. A GREENSBORO MAN WILL SPEND THE NEXT TEN YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON ON CHILD — CHARGES. A JUDGE HANDED DOWN THAT SENTENCE AFTER 55 YEAR OLD JEFFREY HILL PLED GUILTY TO ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF CHILD –. PROSECUTORS SAY HE ASSAULTED THREE VICTIMS BETWEEN 2006 AND 2009. WHEN POLICE SEARCHED HIS ELECTRONICS, THEY FOUND MORE THAN 13,000 IMAGES AND 244 VIDEO FILES. AGAIN CONTAINING CHILD –. HILL WAS ALSO ORDERED TO PAY RESTITUTION TOTALING $33,000. A VENUE THAT’S HOSTED CONCERTS AND SPORTING EVENTS IN THE TRIAD IS GETTING A BRAND NEW NAME, THE GREENSBORO COLISEUM WILL NOW BE KNOWN AS FIRST HORIZON COLISEUM. CITY OFFICIALS AND THE OAK VIEW GROUP, WHICH MANAGES THE COLISEUM, SOLD THE NAMING RIGHTS TO FIRST HORIZON BANK. IT’S THE FIRST NAMING RIGHTS PARTNERSHIP FOR THE COLISEUM IN ITS 65 YEAR HISTORY. A NEW DOG IS WALKING THE HALLS OF THE LEXINGTON FIRE DEPARTMENT. MEET LUNA, THE GOLDEN LABRADOR RETRIEVER. SHE IS THE DEPARTMENT’S FIRST COMFORT CANINE. LUNA WILL PROVIDE COMPANIONSHIP AND EMOTIONAL RELIEF FOR FIREFIGHTERS WHO FACE IMMENSE STRESS AND TRAUMA IN THE LINE OF WORK THEY’RE IN. LEXINGTON CITY COUNCIL APPROVED THE COMFORT CANINE POLICY BACK IN AUGUST. THE CITY JOINS SUMMERFIELD AS THE ONLY TWO FIRE DEPARTMENTS IN OUR AREA, WITH THIS PROGRAM. WELL, SAD NEWS IN THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT. BELOVED ACTOR JOHN AMOS HAS DIED. HE STARRED IN FILMS AND ON TELEVISION, MOST NOTABLY FOR HIS ROLE IN THE SITCOM GOOD TIMES THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, ROOTS, AND COMING TO AMERICA.
