traffic patterns, areas to avoid and where there could be crashes. it works by having other drivers put up alerts for people around them. you can even use it to find gas stations or bathrooms nearby. drivers i talked with said it is extremely useful on weekends like this one where they know there's going to be a lot of some said they will never go on a road trip without it.

they're still looking into a cause. arson is being blamed - for a fire at a north las vegas church. it happened overnight - at the "holy trinity" a-m-e church on lola avenue - near las vegas boulevard and lake mead. a reverand tells fox5 someone threw something with a flammable liquid at the door and through the window... and some drapes caught fire. she said the church belives it was vandalism - and not a hate crime. no one was hurt. two deadly shootings last night - within minutes of each other. one took place just after 8 p-m on lake mead boulevard - just east of martin luther king boulevard. police said one person died as a result of that shooting. there was no immediate information concerning the circumstances or a suspect. the other shooting took place just before 8 on north circle - near the intersection of twain and paradise. police believe the victim died on the way to or just after arriving at the hospital. a suspect was not immediately identified.

fox5's miguel martinez-valle went to get those answers and more... miguel what'd you find out.. well suprisingly the laws for indecent exposure are pretty vague... but police officers tend to agree that the law starts being broken when you show genitals... so in this man's case... no criminal activity was taking place... take a look at this video... it was taken by curtis danner, he said earlier this week he was woken up by an engine outside his door. he looked outside and saw this man in a thong... so he took a video of it, sent it to us, and sent it to police... his biggest concern, there is a school down the street and children in his neighborhood. " i was told, although it was unusual, no crime was committed... and that was that, but i dont think its normal for a man to walk around in a g- string with a school one minute away" police told me that as long as private parts are covered.. people can dress however they

means some of the get ups you see on fremont and the strip, they're allowed everywhere... however they say if you see something and it doesn't seem right, give them a call. they will go investigate. if it does end up being indecent exposure a first offense is a gross misdemeanor... and a second can be a felony. it's a scandal... that just won't go away. now - new documents have been released by the f-b-i... regarding hillary clinton's use of a private email server. and.... dramatic video captures a speeding truck - as it heads towards a river! hermine is no longer a hurricane... but

nominee over an email scandal dating back to her time as secretary of state. stirewalt says: "i would certainly chalk this up to bureaucrats who'd get rid of something at the end of a week and then leave town. everybody's done. they'll drop it off and be gone." despite denials from clinton and her campaign surrogates, there's been growing evidence clinton sent or received classified information via an unsecured, nongovernmental server and retained total control over emails which otherwise would have belonged to the government. donald trump, who was back in the swing state of pennsylvania, held a roundtable event in philadelphia, just as the clinton document dump took place. trump, who's trailing clinton in the keystone state, has seen a bit of an uptick in his overall poll numbers since making changes to top staff, and shifting his tone to a more policy-driven posture... while maintaining his ability to unleash on opponents. schiffer says: "the fact that this is dragging will likely continue to depress her numbers. i think that's part of why we've seen this closure. it's really not trump moving up as much as it's been clinton moving down." emanuel says (oncam tag): "trump, who's come under fire for his hardline stance
