the window of this house. a grandmother was inside the house at the time. thankfully she was not hurt. this happened just before 2:00 p.m. this is the area that police are looking for shell casings. they are looking for evidence that could lead them to a suspect. they are looking for a four- door white car, possibly a dodge challenger is what they are telling us. they don't know how many people were inside the car or if more than one person fired the shots. the 3-year-old and the 23-year- old were the only person on this porch when this happened. and thankfully the grandmother inside the home at the time was not hurt. police are still looking into whether this is a random act of violence or if they were targeted. we will continue to stay out here and bring you developments on the case as it continues to develop. neighbors, several of them, called 911. we have the police chief of saint pete and the mayor out here telling us that the gun violence has to stop.

video that you have to see a couple times to really see it. this is the surveillance video from inside the school bus. it first shows the bus attendant and the bus driver getting off the bus after dropping all the kids off at school in the morning. notice they don't do a thorough check to see if anyone is left on board. about 15 minutes later, look who appears. deputies say 13-year-old special needs boy woke up and found himself locked inside an empty school bus. you can see him on video open up the emergency exit window and squeeze through the small opening there and jump out. the craziest part, this happened twice in one week. >> if it's the same bus driver and the same attendant, shame on them. yes, shame on them. that's -- their job is to take care of the kids. >> reporter: the bus driver gayle brown and her attendant

neglect. what makes this case so disturbing is this bus is equipped with an alarm system that shuts the ignition off. the only way to turn it off is walk back there and hit the button. what grady judd says how they got around the system. the good news is that the boy, the 13-year-old boy was able to get home safely by hitching a ride with a stranger not once but twice. crazy stuff out here, laura. back to you. >> disturbing case, ryan. rally. the "washington post" reporting that a protester was being escorted out when a man in the stands in the cowboy hat stands up and sucker punches another guy out of nowhere. this happened at a rally yesterday but just started to surface online this afternoon. the man who threw that punch, 78 years old. he's been charged with assault and disorderly conduct.

she talked about two big projects that she hopes will get funded. one is an expansion of fort tampa bay. the other a light rail system that would go between tampa and orlando. the other big issue, which of course is a big issue here in florida, which is climate change, rising sea levels. mayor bob buckhorn has been sounding the alarm about urgency and hillary clinton spoke about what an issue it could be if floridians don't take action. >> it's the height of irresponsibility and neglect for anybody in a position of authority to understand that florida will be the most at risk from climate change of any of our states. >> reporter: some of the people at the rally today had already voted for hillary. some said they were still on the fence. you're going to hear a little more from them coming up at 5:00. they're not only going to be at the clinton rally but they will

say. he will be speaking this fairgrounds. tampa bay. dr. susan mcmanis is joining us live from miami where the gop debate is happening tonight. the stage already hot from last night. which of the candidates won last night of the democrats? >> it almost was a draw. i think some people said bernie sanders. others said hillary clinton. they were fighting hard for the votes of floridians. it was a very excited debate. a lot of competing views on things. and just thrilled to be at frankly. >> what are the odds you think bernie sanders or hillary clinton will actually win florida in the primary? >> it looks like it's a clinton win here, but i guarantee you

than expected, that's helpful to him going on after florida. this tends to be clinton territory somewhat, her long ties to the state. there will also be a larger share of the electorate of they like clinton. it's florida. it's exciting. it's competitive. >> always a swing state. how about this one, we're talking about tonight. what do you think of cruz, rubio? what do they have to do to gain ground on donald trump tonight? >> they have to make some inroads and point to people policy opinions. they can't be rude. enough of that. people want these candidates to rise above, not stoop down to trump's level in terms of the language that he uses and so forth. it looks like the candidates

strategy, how can they keep trump from gaining the delegates needed in order to send it to a contested convection. that's the only thing that they can do right now. >> thank you, dr. mcmanis, for being with us yet again. we look forward to hearing what you have to say tomorrow. >> my pleasure. we have a crew down there in miami. we will bring you the latest all evening long. disabled veterans getting florida. that story is coming up. first, if you feel like it's expensive to live in tampa, the reality is it's almost 30% cheaper than new york, which is one of the most expensive places in the world to live. here is our partners at newsy. >> reporter: the u.s. dollar is getting stronger. while that is making travel cheaper for americans, living here on the other hand is getting more expensive. new york city and los angeles both made the economist intelligence list of the top

los angeles tied for 8th on the list. and new york city comes in at number 7. the two are gaining on many of the more expensive counter parts. the most expensive city in the world, singapore held its title. paris was the second most expensive city in the world just a year ago. now it sits at 5th. new york city's population grew at a slow but significant rate in 2015 as international migrants coming are more than those going out. for newsy, i'm catherine beck. you can watch newsy on your

but would not comment on a motive just yet. well, you've got to see this surveillance video from a milwaukee burger king. this woman in the bottom right corner is yelling, throwing things at the 16-year-old. why? because the woman's mother wasn't allowed to use a bunch of coupons to order their food. >> she started throwing the sugar at me first. then she reached over the counter and threw the plastic thing full of ketchup. >> the teen says she was then beaten up. police are now looking for the mother and her daughter. that woman fighting to save a few bucks and now she is probably going to be dealing with a thousand in legal drama. we know that 60% of all of the calories we eat come from food considered ultraprocessed. it's food with manufactured ingredients. you normally wouldn't use if you were making something from scratch. it's in everything from your

a the concern here is that it tends to be high in sugar, saturated fat and sodium, all of which contribute to obesity, heart disease, die diabetes. there needs to be a message sent about the need to eat real food. governor scott signing 25 new bills into law today. disabled veterans can now park for free at public airports. families using the snap program, they can now use it to buy fresh food. love this one. and if you're unable to perform jury duty for physical reasons, you will be able to ask to permanently be excluded. also interesting vote today in california lawmakers passing a bill raising the legal smoking age from 18 to 21.

change the age requirement. california didn't stop there. the bill treats electronic products. it. i want to you check out this strange creature right here. it kind of looks like something out of a disney movie. it really is real. it is watching ashore on the coast of florida. they're called a sea dragon. they could be turning up here because of el nino, the shifting currents. they float on top of the water belly-up which is the weird part. don't touch them because they're venomous depending what they eat, which is usually jelly fish. >> it will take the leftover stinging cells of the jelly fish and transfer it to these

their predators. they come and go with the tide. we will have to see if they turn up in the tampa bay area. speaking of the tampa bay area, if want to go to the beach and get in the water, it has been beautiful to do so. >> i like how you think. coming up. >> i can't wait. >> we have good beach days ahead. let's look outside right now. 85 in tampa right now. sunshine. st. pete at 79. the winds are primarily from the south and southeast. breezes. per hour range today. as we're looking here at the futurecast, again, that flow coming across the southeastern part of the state, helping to well. tapping into that deeper moisture. and that's going to continue through tonight and into tomorrow.

the dry side. we're not seeing any of the green tones on our side of the state until tomorrow morning. great commute tomorrow. and no rain just yet. we are warm and dry. just more humid over the next 24 hours. as far as the overnight lows go, a little cloud cover here and there helps to keep our temperatures on the warm side along with that warm southeasterly flow. we're looking at 67 as the overnight temperature in tampa. closer to 70 in clearwater. to the north, around 64 degrees. as well. weather ahead. and if you're planning on heading out to the beach, you want to head to clearwater beach tomorrow, 80 is the high. 65. as far as we know, none of the sea dragons have been reported on our side of the state. out there. tomorrow. an improvement there. if you're thinking of heading to st. pete for the grand prix,

coming up. >> thanks, shay. if you're taking your beer and nuts to the pool, the brands that you need to look out for as they could make you sick. we're back with that after the

to actually look at all of those warnings. okay. >> regret is not knowing what regret feels like. he is the most interesting man in the world. >> well, there you go. the most interesting man in the world. guess what? he's being shipped off to mars. the beer man, they're going to ship him off to mars and get another character, someone a little more, let's say, younger. jonathan gold social security smith is now 77. heineken says an equally interesting but younger man will be there. let's use ivan cabrera. he is on the mornings now. let's use him as the most interesting man in america. let's do it. shay, let's do that. >> that's awesome. i love it. all right. a mad dash to get puppies rescued when they were found in a box. wait until you see what they look like today.

>> we're still following breaking news on the now tampa bay. this happening in st. pete. police say a 3-year-old and a 23-year-old have been shot in a drive-by shooting at a house in south st. pete. that girl was on the front porch. luckily both of them are expected to survive. what you're looking at right now is aerial pictures from action air 1 from a short time ago of the scene. the neighborhood where this happened, 10th avenue south near tropicana field. let's take a look at some video from the ground though. we have a crew there right now of the house. you can see the bullet hole there. a glass shattered. we know the child's name but we are not releasing it because she is a victim and a minor. the 23-year-old was terrell hollowman. they are looking for a white dodge challenger, similar to the one on your screen. we don't have a description of the person who did the shooting. we are trying to stay on top of

latest on abc action news starting at 5:00. right now, a little flash back to last month when a box of puppies turned up on the side of the road in tampa. today we have the ending to their incredible story of survival. they're going home to real homes. well, most of them. the now's nicole griggs shows us the chaos that took place to make it all happen. >> reporter: leo didn't think he would be spending his day in line in the heat waiting and waiting after an hour drive to the humane society of tampa bay. >> we were watching the news this morning. and she jumped up and said said we have to go get a puppy. >> it wasn't a grandchild like you think begging the grandfather for a puppy it was tally who decided she had to come. >> we're looking for a brother

>> leo and tally drove all the way down from spring hill for one of these puppies. >> she usually gets her way. >> reporter: they were found neglected on the side of the road inside a box in tampa. this is what they looked like then. this is now. leo and tally are not the only ones waiting either. >> there's five left. i feel like the odds are in my favor. >> reporter: it was like a black friday crowd for the final five rushing to get their chance. the humane society says a busy day like today for the pups ends up other dogs a chance too. >> there is a constant need for animals looking for homes of all ables and breeds and -- ages and breeds and sizes. >> i feel like honored to make

>> reporter: what about tally? she got her happy ending too with her new sister nadia. >> i love that story. start your engines. the firestone grand prix of st. petersburg is finally up downtown. you know what that means. it's time to race. the grand prix kicks original tomorrow. 7:30 tomorrow morning is the first practice. it runs through sunday. it's a street course running through downtown st. pete. ticket prices start at 20 bucks a person tomorrow and they go up each day. shay -- >> yeah. >> what is the weather going to look like. this is a sport we can't play in the rain. >> no. and things are kicking off to a great start. i'll get to the sunday forecast in a little bit. take a look. the firestone grand prix from friday through sunday, tomorrow, if you're headed out there, the weather looks fabulous.

once again we will make it to highs in the mid-80s. starting the day, temperatures will be close to 70 in st. pete. by 11:00 in the morning, we're almost at 80. we top out in the low to mid 80s in st. pete. and then we will see the temperatures starting to fall back down to the mid to upper 70s around sunset. so the bottom line is the weather is looking warm. but it will be dry. but the rain chances go up for sunday. i'll time that out for you coming up in my next full forecast. look at the forecast at 4:00. we will check out the rain chances for you. laura. >> thank you, shay. speaking of driving, here is a big topic for you right now. how to make self-driving cars safer, especially with this video released of a google self- driving car crashing into a bus. it happened last month in california. the car swiped the right side of the bus.

the director of google project is set to testify before congress about the safety. executives from gm, delphi automotive and ride share lift will be there as well. they are working on guidelines for the car that are expected to be ready this summer. not having rules yet isn't stopping companies from thinking up new inventions to include in the self-driving cars. goodyear revealed it is developing the spherical tires. how does it work? it's bizarre but they go in any direction. they connect to the car using levitation instead of axles. this is cool. ford got this patent approved to let you watch movies in yourself-driving car. you would actually have a projector and a screen.

don't get your hopes up for this one for a future ride trip either. it's just a concept. there's no guarantee that we will ever actually use it. a predator making its way into zoos and killing animals on display. what it could be and where this is happening when the now tampa

>> you know, companies know a lot about us because of what we search online. they say they're just trying to give you the ads that are more relevant for you. but abc action news reporter jackie callaway is here with privacy groups calling for stricter rules for what internet providers can see.

to the fcc calling the tracking invasive. they want to make the internet providers make you opt in. no surprise here, internet providers want looser restrictions to experiment with mortar getted advertising. they want the rules similar to what the ftc has right now. those look for unfair or deceptive activity online. the fcc will submit the proposal sometime this month. we will let you know what is included as soon as they release them. >> thank you, jackie. this mountain lion is suspected of killing a koala at the l.a. zoo. the staff found the koala dead outside of its pen. they have removed the other koala from the public habitat for now and are moving other

right here? the man dubbed the hot convict is a freeman and a free agent, kind of, and ready to start his modeling career. 24 months. hollywood agent. his mug shot went viral after being posted on a police department facebook page. i want to show you this. he is out and about now. this is his agent. now he is out. crisp white t-shirt ready to go. he says he's ready for his new career. tear drop tattoos and live. next on the now tampa bay, we've live in texas. plus this. the next time that you get in trouble at work for making a mistake, i have the absolute best and legit reason that you can give them. that when the now tampa bay

>> right now, i want you to take a look at that video there. these are pictures from robinsonville, mississippi. these people gathering what they can from the home and leaving. it's ankle-deep water right places. it can be seen in mississippi, oklahoma, louisiana and texas right now. todd joins us live from texas covering the rough weather. >> reporter: some places dealing with severe weather. the damage is so significant that it looks like it just happened. i'll take you across the street here. you can see the path that the

the major highway, tearing into homes over there. the rain has started once again in texas. some places it won't stop until tomorrow afternoon. already adding to this incredibly dangerous situation. watch as this driver spins out in the flood water in mississippi. she then tries to turn around only to go off the road into even deeper water. another driver helps her to safety. she is okay but that hasn't been the case elsewhere. in louisiana right now they're expecting another 8 to 10 inches of rain and they're closely watching a levee in case it gets overwhelmed near shreveport. boats bringing some people to safety as their communities are overtaken. >> worry about yourself and your children. the things in your house are replaceable. lives are not. >> reporter: heavy rain forced some schools in the houston area to delay or cancel classes today because of closed roads.

she has lived here for 40 years. >> if it keeps coming, we're going to be in trouble again. >> reporter: that's an understatement. back to louisiana, here is a look at the flooding. you know how deep it is by the speed limit sign. the flood waters both unpredictable and unfor giving. two of the people killed in oklahoma and louisiana drowned when they tried to cross a flooded road. turn around, don't drown. you have heard that so many times. some areas have already seen 16 inches of rain. here in texas, 10 inches. laura. >> todd, before we get you go, do you have any idea of how many homes are damaged or buildings in that area? >> reporter: yeah. i've actually got a list. shreveport, louisiana, there's about 80 homes that we know of so far that have been flooded. we've also learned of a nursing home and a health rehab center that is also flooded. the national guard is helping with those evacuations.

tampa bay. >> thanks, todd. the nature conservancy is asking volunteers to use drones, following legal and safety guidelines, to take videos of these to see howell nino is changing the california coastline. the images from the drones can be go-tagged and pinpointed where the land has been eroded in the area. they have identified one area seeing 30 feet of coastline dissolving away due to the storms and flooding. shay, i want to go back to that storm flooding that todd walker was just talking about. we talked about this yesterday, but will it be as strong coming our way? >> it won't. it won't pack as much rain for us or be a strong front. it starts to fizzle out. it's a slow-moving system that's why it's creating the flooding issues in several states now. it's almost parked in the same place as yesterday. it is a little broken up. we have a center of rain in texas and another one moving through parts of louisiana and into mississippi, alabama and

farther to the north into the great lakes. again, this is a slow-moving system. it will take until sunday to get to our area. so we remain on the warm, dry and humid side with a southeasterly flow. the gusty winds that you saw today are going to come down. so we're going to have more relaxed wind speeds. but as this front approaches on sunday, it starts to fizzle out. and it tracks a little more to the north. what happens is that we start off on the dry side sunday morning. so for those with the grand prix in mind on sunday, the start of the day is going to be much better than the finish. and i think we may even make it through because the heaviest tampa bay. so saint pete may turn out just fine. any change in the track of that front, though, or if it holds together a little more could certainly impact not only the grand prix but whatever your weekend plans are.

when we will see the rain chances go up. north. in the meantime, we remain on the dry side. a few clouds and 67 degrees. and the southeast winds coming down to 5 to 10 miles per hour overnight. not bad at all. over the next couple of days, check out these temperatures. we should be in the mid-70s. we're 10 degrees above average for the next two days. higher chances for rain in the afternoon on sunday. we will come down to 80 as a high. we do not have a big push of dry air behind that front. even though it fizzles out, we still linger with a few showers on monday. so the next two days are really looking the best to be outside if you're looking for warm and dry weather. but, again, the humidity also on the rise. all right, i will have the 7- day forecast for you coming up on action news at 5:00 as i'm filling in for denis. i will have that for you and show you what happens after monday coming up in a bit. laura.

the usf men's team just tipped off half an hour ago. 11:31 left in that one. we talk about march madness. it's so much more than the final scores. the ncaa tournament means lost productivity, a bunch of wages and it's all about a bunch of college kids. you're betting on college kids. there are other important numbers here thanks to the latest study. it all says that if you make your boss cringe category, here it is, companies will lose $1.9 billion during march madness. 60million americans will fill out ncaa brackets and will bet now, remember, those astronomical powerball odds we

this in comparison, your odds of filling out a perfect bracket are one in 9.2 quinntillion. that is a 1 followed by 18 zeros. it's easier to win back to back mega million lotteries assuming you buy one ticket both times. how about that? is that a little odd to anybody else? i would say so. all right. well also speaking of that, fun and games aside with march madness, it's serious business. the average single game ticket will sell for $344. the men's tournament is expected to generate $300 million for the host city. houston is the host city this year. and american products, an extra 3 million-barrels of beer every march compared to a typical month. wow. crazy numbers there. well, riding public transit could soon get safer. it all has to do with the transportation department

tests mandatory for bus drivers, train operators and truckers. the national transportation safety board has found several deadly accidents like this one are at least partially connected to the disorder. it can make you really sleepy during the day. the test is already required for pilots. one concern here is requiring it for other people such as train operators is the cost. it costs thousands of dollars and it's not clear who would pay for it. the transportation department will be taking feedback on the plan starting tomorrow. well, a new study reveals most of us are sometimes tired while on the job. the now's justin takes a look at the problem and what can be done about it. >> reporter: if brittany green needs somewhere to nap or somewhere to rest. >> the lights are low so you can take a minute to refocus your energy and your thoughts. >> reporter: she doesn't need to go far to find it. >> i use it when i realize that i haven't gotten away from my desk for a couple hours and i could use time to clear my head.

a special place for employees at henderson engineers. >> we create environments for people to reach their full potential. this plays an integral role for our employees to be recharged. >> reporter: a new study finds that many employees are running low on energy. 74% of american workers sometimes work tired. all. >> reporter: the doctor says that leaves workers in a very bad spot, often hurting their on the job performance. >> the process of sleep helps with your physiology, with your memory. it helps you relax. >> reporter: the study says managers should make sure that employees are not overworked, make their schedules more flexible, and of course give them breaks. the doctor says it's also up to the workers, especially shift workers like firefighters or nurses, to make sure that they're getting enough sleep away from work. >> we can't just be telling

adequate sleep at night. >> reporter: but employees seem to enjoy the option to nap. >> no. i have never come in on someone napping more than a few minutes. >> reporter: even if it's not quite enough zs. willfont. a woman actually hiding a child inside of a carry-on bag airplane. she is reportedly in the process of adopting the girl from haiti. the child is between 2 and 4 years old. passengers on the flight saw the little girl come out of the bag and told the crew members. the child is doing ago and prosecutors are saying they won't charge that woman. well, good news about those frustrating fees the airlines charge for things like checked bags and seat assignments. lawmakers are trying to standardize how airlines disclose the fees so there are no surprises for passengers. this would make it easier to compare overall ticket prices

it would require the department of transportation a way to show the fees and for all airlines to actually start using it. another measure here being considered is called the fair fees act. forbidding airlines from imposing ridiculous fees. it would direct the dot to stop airlines from imposing fees that don't directly translate to operating costs. it's estimated airlines collected more than $3 billion in just fees last year. how does that make you feel? this spring, we could be seeing a record number of travelers in airports. here in tampa, we have spring break, spring training, the grand prix and even the valspar tournament happening this weekend, bringing a lot of people into our area from all around the world. we're expecting a 4 and a half percent increase from this time last year. about 33,000 people. but some of the airports say security just can't keep up with the demand.

down the numbers. >> this is mississippi. so i came to visit. >> reporter: mary is making the cross country trek to visit she is not alone. this spring is expected to be a record-breaker for air travel, with 140 million flyers. take into account school breaks and easter and it's already begun. just ask mary about her fellow passengers. >> they came from tennessee, arkansas, alabama. from allor. >> reporter: airports across the country say security can't keep up with the lines. an airport manager wrote this left to the tsa calling them understaffed. just yesterday seattle airport tweeted tsa can't keep up. >> you get caught in the security line. >> reporter: when it comes to taking off your shoes and unloading the liquids and laptops into bins, it's hard to
