away, we have been able to get a bit closer to the shooting scene here. to give you an example of how wide the investigation is here, when we were a block away a home there actually got hit by a bullet. that is why investigators pretty much blocked off a large area of this neighborhood. investigators got word about all of this around 10:30 last night when the men showed up at a local hospital. after a bit of investigation deputies were led to this location here, where this investigation started. at this point we are still pretty early in this investigation but i was able to gadgary bit more information, investigators still trying to determine a motive however. it has been reported by the sheriff this could possibly be drug organic related. the names -- drug organic related. the names. victims not released at this point. deputies haven't yet made an arrest, they are still gathering more information and -- on a possible suspect in the case. two-block area of the neighborhood blocked down.

breaking traffic alert out of manatee county. this is u.s. 301 at 63rd avenue east in bradenton where there was a two-car crash, that car there crashed into the semi slightly behind it. unfortunately two people perished in the accident. right now fhp has northbound and southbound u.s. 301 shut down as they are investigating what exactly happened out here. that is causing quite a traffic mess for people that usually use the stretch of 301 down here in bradenton just south of state road 70. janelle, what are the workarounds looking like? >> i can show you this crash on

state road 70, 301 closed now all the way from state road 70 to whitfield. your alternates getting congested as well. 15th street east and 33rd street east. a little slow this morning, you might want to consider use 41 depending on where you're coming from or where you're going. either way leave yourself extra time if you're driving through the bradenton area. and reports of a crash with injuries in pinellas park. 49th street north at 78th avenue north. roadblock reported in the intersection, not seeing a huge slowdown. you may want to leave a few extra minutes. also reports fhp reports a crash on i-4 and 22nd avenue. 22nd avenue before you get to i- 4. this is right above it, not affecting traffic here on i-4, as you head into the downtown tampa area. let's check with action air 1 flying over i-75 and gibsonton drive. faces south you can see a lot

the morning commute. and the cooler air will move in on friday morning, pretty early because the rain comes to an end overnight thursday night. then we have that nice day on friday, looking pretty good but a whole bunch of question marks for saturday and sunday. you remember yesterday i was saying saturday would be dry? sunday we would have rain? the models have been terribly inconsistent so we know that there will be a front in an area of low pressure that works across the state between saturday and sunday. but the timing of the rain, the intensity of the storms, and, how much the temperatures will vary from saturday-to-sunday as a result of this system is still up in the air. a whole bunch of question marks for the weekend but as we get closer hopefully the models will get more consistent and we'll be able to help time this out for you. that is important when it comes to the weekend. this is florida's most accurate 7-day forecast. back to you. 6:48. we want to show you scary new
