7:16 am
jobs report, most economists expect to see the national unemployment rate as low as it was pre-pandemic, so that does give us a little bit of an optimistic slant about how our economy is performing. >> good to see wages going up but, unfortunately -- >> this is when you go to the grocery, there's a little kick. >> more is going out. thanks, deirdre. now to an argument between two women at a gas station near detroit that got way out of hand. it's all caught on camera. after exchanging words one of the women drives her car into not one but two cars at the station. one of those cars had a 7-month-old infant in the back seat. the mother of that infant you see there in the video trying to stop the car. se finally gets the baby out, but it's not over. the driver then opens the trunk and gets a bat and proceeds to smash the other driver's windshield. she's now facing felony charges and up to 14 years behind bars. >> wow. wild video. we do want to turn to the weather now. with fire alerts in the west, let's get more from our nashville affiliate from wkrn, danielle breezy in for rob once again this morning.
