north las vegas

mourning one of their captains... several days after fighting a three alarm fire. captain yaphet miller passed away last night. officials are considering his death one in the line of duty. four days after he fought his last fire, his heart stopped, resulting in a brain injury. captain miller served the north las vegas fire department for 22 years. he was 43 years old. the clark county school district is calling it an "epidemic." reports of killer clowns -- threatening schools across las vegas. fox5's adam herbets was at a press conference

out what police are doing about it. well the fact of the matter is -- there isn't a whole lot the school district can do about all of this... especially because -- look -- just because a clown makes a post online... that doesn't necessarily constitute a threat. if a clown says -- i'm going to be at so-and-so school on the seventh -- that's completely legal. if somebody dressed up as a clown shows up at a school -- that's also completely legal. i mean, you might get kicked off campus... but freedom of speech. it only becomes illegal... when there's an actual thre violence... and that's what makes all of this so tricky. c-c-s-d told us today: they've been getting reports every single day for the last nine days... they're taking every single one seriously... but at the same time, none of them have been credible. now the police are urging parents to please talk to your children... there have been no incidents of any clowns that have chased kids... that have battered kids... have been seen with guns this is widespread even as far as

captain young went on to say that they have pinpointed where the threats may have started -- at least here in las vegas -- near flamingo and the 95 freeway. coming up at 6 -- we'll show you what they're trying to do when it comes to tracking the down people who make these posts... and why, so far, they say it hasn't been very effective. john/ cyndi donald trump's traveled to the silver yesterday... and there's one moment people all over the country are talking about... that happened when trump spoke to a crowd in reno. " neh-vah-da. and you know what i said? you know what i said? i said when i came out here i said nobody says it the other way. it has to be neh-vah-da. and if you don't say it correctly--and it didn't happen to me it happened to a friend of mine--he was killed. " so why do so many

mispronounce the name of our state? we sent fox5's eric hilt to find out -- he joins us live from the henderson pavillion where trump spoke to supporters yesterday. donald trump isn't the first person to call nevada 'nevahda' and he won't be a last... i talked with nevada historians today...they told me people have been saying nevahda ever since nevada became a state. but they do say the correct pronunciation is nevada and it always has been nevada...and thats part of why a lot of people get worked up when they hear people

"it's not nevahda its nevada! it doesnt really bother me i just want them to know how to say it!" "it trips me up a little bit, i want to correct them" "is it really worth this much excitement, no not really, but it's something that you want to make everybody feel like they're part of the group and you want to make sure they know how to say the word" and mark said that if you really want to get technical -- we'll tell you what the correct pronunciation should be coming up at 5. it has been a week full of political visits. tonight, democratic vice presidential candidate tim kaine

kaine will be at the "united brotherhood of carpenters training center." this is near sunset and gilespie and starts at six-30. doors open at four-30. kaine will focus on voter registration and hillary clinton's plan for the economy. one small town has a very big claim to fame, when it comes to high school football. and that is where we sent fox5's dave hall... for field trip thursday and see how one toy store is smashing gender norms and encouraging kids to play with whatever toys they like. you're watching fox5 news at 4.

i'm one of the lucky ones. i had breast cancer, but they caught it in time. there are many women who depend on planned parenthood for that kind of screening and care. congressman heck, who tried to defund planned parenthood. he was even willing to shut down the government over it. heck was opposed to roe v. wade and tried to criminalize abortion. that's just shameful, it's just wrong, it doesn't help anybody. congressman heck does not share my values. dscc is responsible for the content of this advertising. we all know you have to work together in order to get things done. but in washington, too often joe heck has been

rests before nevada. i'm proud of my work with the bush and obama administrations on homeland security. and every bill i sponsored as attorney general was passed by democrats and republicans. i'm catherine cortez masto. i approve this message because i'll work with anyone to put nevada first. because i'll work with anyone there's the nevada way. work hard. play by the rules. pay your taxes. and then there's the danny tarkanian way. ordered by a judge to repay $17 million in a failed development scheme. worse, tarkanian refused to pay it back, sticking taxpayers with the bill. the danny tarkanian way? the wrong way for nevada.

as a marine combat veteran, i understand the sacrifices our military makes. our benefits are earned, and we rely on them. politicians like joe heck should understand that. narrator: joe heck voted to shut down the federal government, risking critical services for nevada veterans. and during that shutdown, heck continued cashing his congressional paycheck. his military record deserves respect. but back in dc, joe heck is putting politics before nevada. and that doesn't work for me. narrator: vote vets is responsible for the content
