IN HAITI NOW, NINE PEOPLE MADE IT IN OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND, AND THEY ARE NOW AMONG 35 OTHER AMERICANS WHO’VE ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT BACK INTO FLORIDA FROM HAITI.

RIGHT NOW THEY’RE WORKING THROUGH A LIST OF MORE THAN 500 PEOPLE WHO HAVE REQUESTED TO BE FLOWN BACK FROM HAITI, AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO DETERMINE WHICH AGENCIES WILL HELP IN BRINGING THOSE PEOPLE BACK HERE TO THE US. I’M REPORTING IN ORLANDO, TONY ATKINS WESH 2 NEWS. WE NOW KNOW THE NAMES OF THE TWO PEOPLE WHO DIED IN A SHOOTING OVER THE WEEKEND IN PINE HILLS. DEPUTIES SAY SOMEONE OPENED FIRE AT AN ILLEGAL AFTER HOURS NIGHTCLUB. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS SOMEONE SHOT 56 YEAR OLD ERROL IRVING AND 49 YEAR-OLD JOCELYN GRAY JUST AFTER THREE SATURDAY MORNING ON PINE HILLS ROAD NEAR SILVER STAR. THE NIGHTCLUB IS LABELED AS A TAX OFFICE, BUT INVESTIGATORS SAY IT IS USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR AFTER HOURS ACTIVITIES. DEPUTIES ARE STILL LOOKING FOR THE SHOOTER AND WORKING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY OPENED FIRE. THEN ANOTHER SHOOTING HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER. THAT LEFT A MAN IN HIS 30S DEAD. THIS HAPPENED ON EAST COLONIAL DRIVE, EAST OF THE 408 EMERGENCY CREWS TOOK THAT MAN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE HE DIED. DEPUTIES HAVE NOT RELEASED A DESCRIPTION OF THE PERSON WHO SHOT HIM, OR A POSSIBLE MOTIVE. EDGEWATER POLICE CAUGHT A SUSPECTED PROWLER AFTER SOMEONE SPOTTED THE MAN ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO LURKING ON HER PROPERTY. SHOW ME YOUR HANDS. I WAS SLEEPING BACK HERE. I WAS JUST SLEEPING.

SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO CALLED 911 SAID THAT THAT HOUSE WAS ON FIRE AND AN OLDER WOMAN WAS STILL INSIDE, AND CREWS GOT HER OUT AND TOOK HER TO THE HOSPITAL. THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT STARTED THE FIRE, AND THE STATE FIRE MARSHAL IS ALSO INVESTIGATING. AFTER THIS DEVASTATING FIRE GUTTED THE VFW POST IN DELAND OVER THE WEEKEND. POST COMMANDER SAYS THE BUILDING IS A TOTAL LOSS. HE SAYS THE FIRE WAS FIRST HAPPENING IN THE RIGHT HALF OF THE BUILDING, BUT THEN THE SECOND FIRE IS WHEN THE MOST DAMAGE HAPPENED. SAYING THAT EVERYTHING IS NOW GONE. THE THING THAT HURTS ABOUT THIS IS WE ALREADY HAD FLIERS OUT FOR EASTER SUNDAY FOR, FOR FOR DINNER. WE SPONSOR DINNERS ALL THE TIME.
