@JoeBiden has arrived in Pittsburgh. Here he is getting off plane at Allegheny County airport. He’s now in Hazelwood preparing to speak.
The event is closed to the public but dozens have shown up to catch a glimpse of the former Vice President.
Contrast the scene here to @realDonaldTrump rally set for Thursday in Latrobe. Indications are the President’s event will be a rally in a hangar where people can get tickets and come.
Biden speaking inside the Mill 19 site at Hazelwood Green. He’ll condemn the President’s response to race relations. “This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence – because for years he has fomented it,” Biden will say.
President Trump said this last night in response to Biden’s visit.
Biden Spox on why closed event and closed to local press: “Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Biden campaign is following the guidance of scientists and health experts. The safety and well-being of all Americans is our first priority." #WTAE
Here’s a shot of more supporters who have shown up to be outside, trying to catch a live glimpse of Biden.
Biden says explicitly he supports peaceful protests, condemns looting, says right now is Donald Trump’s America.
PHOTO OF PLANE ENTANGLED IN WIRES: here’s our first look through #Fox5DC photographer @wagener_joe lens. Last report from Fire and EMS is that pilot and passenger are ok and communicating with 911. #Fox5DC
HAPPENING NOW: @DCPoliceDept has confirmed officer involved shooting in NW. Unclear what happened here. Working to gather details. Investigation looks to be centered on Madison St.. Can see chopper flying overhead. Saw an ambulance leave the scene.Park police cruiser here as well
Here’s a video and chopper flying over the scene. A handful of unmarked officers here as well. #Fox5DC
#Fox5DC has learned of another shooting scene nearby that may be connected to this one. That scene is less than a mile away.
A 26 year old was the last surviving member of his family. He was found shot to death in his apt last fall. 9 months later, the DC Medical Examiner still lists manner of death ‘undetermined’. His family believes Zack Freeling was murdered. Story here: fox5dc.com/news/nobody-be…
Medical Examimer’s office declined to elaborate on why Freeling’s death was still deemed ‘undetermined’ suggesting I reach out to MPD, who told me they’re still investigating and urged me to reach out to ME. It’s a back and forth Freeling’s family has been stuck in. #Fox5DC
Freeling’s family has been happy with MPDs handling of this investigation but is frustrated that it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. They’ve started a GoFundMe, Justice for Zack Freeling, to pay for private investigators & a reward, hoping someone with more info comes forward.
HAPPENING NOW: @FBI confirms they’re “conducting court authorized law enforcement activity” on the 900 block of I street SE. This is at Crossing Apartments. Resident tells Me he saw multiple officers in military-style uniforms w/ rifles walking thru building.Waiting to learn more
FBI agents continue walking in and out of the building. Multiple people who live inside have told me they’ve seen NCIS, too. One woman told me she saw postal police.
FBI agents walking in with what appear to be cardboard boxes. #Fox5DC
Imagine having a bar across the street from Nats Park, gearing up for Opening Day, then being told you have to shut down 20% of your business with 24 hours notice. A reality for @waltersbardc when @DDOTDC told him to take this down during games. We’re live at 10+11 on #Fox5DC
*48 hours notice!! Sorry!!
Walter's owner, Jeremy Gifford says DDOT told him it was a safety issue. And the stop order specifically references taking the structure down for the 3 hours before the game and 2 hours after. Something that's impossible to do with the structure he's built.
