hours. a lot of traffic delays. right now traffic is back open and moving right here on i-90 westbound. that's the latest from cleveland, derick waller, newschannel5. >> a tragic story, derick. thank you. here's more proof, jon rudder in air tracker 5. jon, those backups now gone? >> reporter: for the most part along 90, you can see traffic moving incident was just cleared. i'm going to play back video we just shot on the shoreway just a couple of minutes ago, if i can try to play this back. there we go. this is video of the shoreway a couple minutes ago. bumper to bumper. this is east of the east 9th exit on the shoreway. it is backed up bumper to bumper to dead man's curve. so a long line of traffic.

cameras of traffic backed up on 71 because of a crash on 71 northbound near west 130th street. you can see bumper to bumper traffic. we're told two people were injured in that accident. if you are headed on 71 northbound and you haven't gotten to 480 yet you are going to want to take 480 to get to 77 to bypass all of that. still seeing backups along 480 as well. here at 90 near warren traffic is moving after they have reopened these lanes. we'll let you know whenever all this does clear out. back inside to the studio for now. also breaking at this hour an accused serial killer was scheduled to face a judge today but we've just learned a hearing scheduled for this evening has been postponed. bob jones is outside of the courtroom. bob, why the postponement? >> reporter: well, lee, we were not given an explanation for the reason for the delay, just

her back to help anybody in this world, and i cannot believe that this is happening to anybody. >> reporter: prosecutors at this point will not say if they will seek the death penalty but they did say that more charges are possible in this case. we will stream tomorrow's hearing at 3:00 p.m. on our newsnet5 app. live in ashland, bob jones, newschannel5. months after a shooting that left two people dead the alleged shoot arrested. james johnson was arrested in michigan after a traffic stop there. johnson was wanted in cleveland after police say he shot and killed rashad bandy and brandon james inside their apartment in january. johnson is current being held in michigan on bond and is expected to be extradited to cleveland. cleveland police say one person has died after an overnight shootings on the west side. overnight officers responded to the lakeview estates on west

avenue. we are told the victim drove himself to the hospital where he later died. the weather probably the bright spot of the day, tara. >> certainly is. i think we've got some football going on, some thursday night games. i like it. kind of a cool live shot here in wayne county. a football on the field, and the weather cooperating. bright blue skies. a little chilly for us in spots. if you don't that have brilliant sunshine on top of temperature. this is below average. typical highs should be in the middle 70s. winds out of the east at 7 miles per hour reminding us fall sander the corner. temperatures across the area in the 70s. we did have a few 60 that were trying to hold on tough like ashtabula at 68. new philadelphia at 76 in the 6:00 hour. we do expect the winds are going to continue to die down.

so that jacket suggested for having dinner out for sure. grilling out, 60s perfect for the deck. no wind and no weather issues. but rain moving in and soon. we will talk timing for those weekend plans next. let's get to the race. he is largely known as a real estate mogul from new york city. >> today donald trump touted his plans to boost the economy. he says if he is elected president he would create millionsf afternoon he told the economic club of new york that he is optimistic about job growth for the country. >> under our plan, the economy will average 3.5% growth and create a total of 25 million new jobs. >> trump has one more event scheduled tonight. he will throw a campaign rally in an hour in new hampshire. hillary clinton was back on the campaign trail today, the

after she was diagnosed with pneumonia. clinton took a swipe at trump's proposed childcare plan. >> we don't need someone who rushes out a half-baked plan just weeks before an election after decades of ignoring or putting down working moms. >> later tonight she and president barack obama will address the congressional hispanic caucus in washington, d.c. we have new poll numbers today that show the national ce tightening as clinton returns to the campaign trail. >> here in ohio donald trump holding on to a slight lead. john kosich joins us. the polls show here in ohio she has her work cut out. >> for the second day in a row we have got a poll that shows donald trump with a five-point lead but this one did something different. it took a deeper dive to see where the support. the rest of the country may lump all of ohio into one basket when they look at a poll that has donald trump leading

isn't one homogenous state. >> we call it the five ohios. >> reporter: tom sutton says the state is made up of differing regions who vote differently. this 2012 map shows the counties in blue that went for barack obama, the ones in red for mitt romney. it's a blueprint that usually holds true. but this year? >> the map is falling all over the placements. >> reporter: the breakdown showed trump with strong pp heartland area. here trump leads two to one, 59 to 28%. trump also leading in the cincinnati-dayton region with a 51 to 39% edge. >> these numbers show wider margins than we saw in 2012, the idea that 15 urban counties could carry the state for a democrat this year may not be the case. >> reporter: clinton leads in the north but most troubling for her in the poll sutton says

among suburban voters. >> i'm very surprised to sea this wide a split in favor of trump. he is catching on. in that suburban vote that really tells us a lot if this doesn't change where this state may go in november. >> reporter: that same poll from cnn incidentally has rob portman over ted strickland by 20 points. on your side, john kosich, newschannel5. still ahead on newschannel5 at 6:00 a child killed after he was shot by police officers in columbus overnight. >> tyree king had a real gun. a local congressman has launched his own investigation into an exterminator who made several people sick. and if you see news happening you can text us, you can e-mail us. it's 5tips at newsnet5.com, or

nearly two years after tamir rice was fatally shot by a cleveland police officer, an eerily similar situation happened in columbus overnight.

a local law expert tells us he is not surprised this has happened again. >> as kristin volk explains he says the changes that should have happened after tamir didn't. >> reporter: that law professor is talking about widespread changes from research to training to laws to access to guns. and last night's incident comes as the gazebo here just got dismantled, the place where a cleveland police officer fatally shot 12-year-old tamir rice. >> the courts have to start enforcing it. the courts have to stop allowing the justification of i was afraid, and therefore i was justified in shooting. the police departments have to make their officers accountable. >> reporter: this bb gun, this crime scene. 13-year-old tyre king dead. michael benza, a law professor, says the similarities to what happened here in columbus last

happened here at the rec center in cleveland two years ago. this air soft gun, this crime scene, and 12-year-old tamir rice dead. >> unfortunately we have never learned from use of force cases. >> reporter: he teaches use of force classes. ebels this incident in columbus would not have happened if guns, real and fake, weren't so accessible. he says it would not have happened if police across the state had more standardized training. plus, he says, a cultural shift has kinds of incidents to stop. >> we have to decide that it's not acceptable for officers to do it. we need to then take legal action against the officers. and that's not the city of cleveland writing a check for $6 million. it's prosecuting officers. it's disciplining officers. >> reporter: tamir rice's mother received adds 6 million settlement from the city of cleveland for her child's death. and in this latest case in columbus police say they believe the 13-year-old was a

the officers. and when one of those officers saw him pull a gun from his waistband, the officer fired at him. >> when we look at this case it may come back that under the law this was a perfectly justified use of force. yet we still end up with a dead 13-year-old boy. >> reporter: the law professor says what's also needed is comprehensive use-of-force research, because right now it is done on a case-by-case basis. now, the last time the department of justice su columbus police department over excessive use of force was in 1999. that case was resolved and closed in 2000 two. in cleveland, i'm kristin volk, newschannel5. >> newschannel5 is always investigating and just uncovered new video that shows a moment a cleveland exterminator may have made people sick with toxic dust. it happened during a bedbug treatment gone wrong. now we have learned there is a congress impressional investigation underway.

latest. >> they used a product prohibited for indoor use. >> reporter: surveillance video shows an exterminator dousing this social security office with pesticide. it's a chemical meant to treat bedbugs but the product's own label setsz meant for use in cracks and crevices, but here he is dousing the carpet and chairs. and those contaminated chairs have since been donated to a catholic charity. that happened february 18th. on the 19th, several employees >> how quickly was it clear that people were sick? >> it was immediate. i heard people complain of headaches. people were coughing. >> reporter: the office was closed for a day but not before it was open to the public for more than half an hour. the ohio department of agriculture investigated but their report from april was only made public in the last couple of weeks. it shows that exterminator from cleveland's central exterminating company mistakenly used a toxic dust

inside the office. >> they need to answer why was that in february and now it's september, and this is just coming to light this way. >> today senator brown told me he is investigate, firing off this letter to the general services administration. >> i want to know more about what happened who took responsibility, how much exposure individuals had. >> we just want people who had been in his office to know. >> >> derick waller, newschannel5. >> the social security administration sent a statement saying they are work on their employees workers' comp claims. let's take a look at weather. tonight okay. can we hold on through the weekend? >> not tore the entire weekend. come on. >> i can uncross these? >> you can. saturday is the day that's going to be the struggle. we go in and out of rain

spectacular. some bright green grass. love to see in that september. and some blue skies, too. a lot of thursday night football games going on. maybe you are headed out to get a bite to eat for dinner. 75 the high for cleveland. 71 in wooster, 68 ashtabula, the warmest 76 in new philadelphia with some high- level cirrus clouds. those are not rain makers. so clear skies and star and we've already lost that brilliant sunshine. 60s for the most part here in downtown though i do think middle and upper 50s possible farther south as those winds continue to lighten. but high pressure dominating. no weather features causing an issue for the rest of the work week and school week. notice quiet conditions here but the rainfall, the showers, the thunderstorms, they are in minnesota now and like toll impact us friday night.

concert. i think you should get that one in just fine. tribe back at home, too. most of this happening about 3:00, 4:00 in the overnight. that's just the beginning. but we're going to go through rounds. the real chance arrives in and ahead of your cold front, the official front not here until sunday. so saturday plans, here we go. 7:00 in the morning, we do have rain. it will be heavy at times. not expecting floods or flooding conditions or weather, as your official front is still well back home, that low staying away as well. but by 1, 2:00 in the afternoon we will see round two. showers and a few thunderstorms for evening plans. it does start to lighten as we move toward sunday. sunday morning, most of us heading out to tailgate, we're going get wet. but the afternoon, it starts to shift south and eat. here we go downtown, 72 for you. 1:00 is the start of our home

rainfall amounts are varying, anywhere from half an inch to an inch and a half. the latest run dropping those numbers a little bit. i think they're going to go back up as we do go in and out of those rain opportunities. so thinking about fun this weekend? starting first with your friday. tying, are taking on our tribe. this is your friday forecast, as it's been awhile since we've been able to watch some good baseball here at home. 70s to start, mostly clear, that rain overnight, but it doesn't impact the now, sunday, we move back towards that rain opportunity, but should we move it out? mostly cloudy and 77 for your 1:00 home opener. here tonight, 83 for sandusky, 83 in lore rain. cleveland, your high of 8 2, while parma will also be in the lower 80s. akron-canton 84, the warmest for us here, but ashtabula,

forecast showing 80s and 70s for quite awhile. no fall feelings in the upcoming forecast but it does look like more of a wet weekend. saturday will be the one to dodge the drops. sunday better by the afternoon hours if you are headed out to any fairs and festivals. guys, over to you. >> all right, tara, thank you. no excuses for the browns or the indians coming up. well, no excuses for the browns first. it's going to be a tough season but the new quarterback is getting rave reviews from one of his we'll talk about. that and the indians with some day baseball inchicago. let's just say it's good to get

right field, coming around fair. they're going to wave him home. the throw, and the white sox win it. >> so the indians drop three out of four to the white sox series with the tigers. it came down to the 9th. carlos sanchez with a single. indians lose 2-1. there is some good news. the tigers lost so the magic number to win the central now moves down to 11. you know the browns made it clear today terrelle pryor is not an option at quarterback. they need to keep josh mccown healthy. i think that's the biggest thing we need to learn. mccown threw for 457 yards and two touchdowns.

the ravens last time. terrelle pryor has been very impressed with mccown in practice this week. >> even today i believe there's two or three periods the ball didn't touch the ground. everything was completed, and that's where he holds us. he holds us to that standard that we've got to play at a high level. we've got to hope to bring that in sunday. >> looking forward to sneak combination. we want to let you know the hue jackson coach's show, every week right here on newschannel5. get the latest scoop, information, and player interview, all on the hue jackson coach's show tonight at 7:00 on newschannel5. >> can't wait. it will be fun. >> promises we're going to win. eventually they'll win a championship. >> a pretty good day 145eu7ing is up.
