williams. the sheriff says that he was hell bent on harming police officers today. county deputies wanting him forearmed robbery and kidnapping from charges in 2015 and drug possession and a domestic strangulation incident this year. detective chris kramer spotted williams crawling through a back door with a .9-millimeter handgun after deputies and detectives swarmed the property. he ordered the suspect to raise his hands. instead, williams, according to th handgun. the detective firing one shot. no one was hurt. according to the sheriff, williams later stated officers were lucky he didn't shoot back. >> he knew we were here. he knew that law enforcement was here to take him into custody. he knew we were on the perimeter. we were trying to get him out of the house. what does he do? he goes into self mode and crawls and coming out and he was looking to ambush those deputies in the backyard. >> reporter: again, the sheriff

that williams told detectives after the arrest that they were, quote, lucky to be alive. we also learned that detectives used surveillance video this afternoon to make sure that their suspect was in fact home. we also want to mention that his father also facing charges stemming from -- from this incident today for harboring a fugitive. that's the latest live in south st. petersburg. i'm ryan smith for the now tampa bay. >> thank you, lots of developments on the zika virus. another new non-travel-related case. we're talking about palm beach county this time which is an hour north of the miami-dade neighborhoods. even though just yesterday they said there were four new cases. in the meantime here in the tampa bay area we're talking about pinellas county here

as well. david jolly thinks we should know more about what is going on as well as where the person lives. breeding grounds for mosquitoes is on the rise. >> reporter: right now calls are coming in from all over pinellas county about dirty pools and ponds possibly breeding mosquitoes. >> the governor's announcement went through and our phone started ringing. >> reporter: rob helps steady mosquitoes for the are finding different places to breed. >> they prefer tiny containers. >> reporter: think less water is more concern. these mosquitoes need just half an inch of water. we're talking just about a capful of water and they prefer water right after this rains. pinellas county had 200 calls on tuesday will mosquitoes. usually they get around 300 to 400 calls a month.

adan donned pools -- abandons pools. all of these are not as concerning because the bugs with zika are usually close to your house. >> when you're outside looking around your home, that's the things to look for. small things of water. >> reporter: right now education is key. the county just got a call from someone in st. petersburg worried about mosquitoes around this townhome. look, when i got there, i found a small container of water. so if you see this, flip it over to help stop the for the now, i'm nicole grigg. >> and i had a chance today to talk to dr. richard besser. he says 80% of people who have zika show no symptoms. but those who do, dr. besser says don't go to the emergency room. instead go to your general doctor and get tested. he also told us he was concerned on a recent trip here to florida. he was in miami talking to

being transmitted. >> most people weren't concerned. they weren't changing their behavior or using repellent. it's very important that people in the tampa area usury bellent, take steps -- use repellent and take steps to make sure that pregnant women are safe. >> wear bug spray, get rid of standing water around your house and make sure that your screens are in tact. today, donald trump nearly an hour late to the podium in tampa. and speaking for about an hour at the florida fairgrounds today, hoping to get more minority voters on his side still touting a tough immigration plan. carson chambers is inside the rally today. carson, what was really trump's focus there? >> reporter: hey, guys. you can see behind us they are wrapping up and taking the set apart. florida is a must win for donald trump.

in the i-4 corridor between tampa and orlando. that's why there are so many rallies in our area. today he appealed to minority voters, speaking directly to hispanic and african-americans. several times he says lax border control costs americans jobs. he had a shift line in his hard line immigration stance and hinted at soft ening laws having to do with undocumented workers. >>ec protect the jobs of all of the people living here today. and that includes african- americans, hispanic-americans, and all americans. we're going to protect your jobs. we're also going to bring safety. but we're going to protect your jobs. >> reporter: rudy giuliani also rallied with trump. with a shift in his immigration

mention his wall. he did at the end of his speech. we're live in tampa, i'm carson chambers for the now tampa bay. >> thank you, carson. we found out that hillary clinton will get her classified intelligence briefings saturday. trump already had his. each candidate gets one briefing before the election about threats and challenges facing u.s. national security to make it a smoother transition from candidate to commander in chief. in a new ad out today and running in florida, hillary clinton is outsourcing jobs. >> this factory has been here since 1883. we have over 60 people here making labels here in america. but donald trump's brand of shirts come from china. >> that ad facing a massachusetts shirt manufacturer as you gathered. back to today's rally in tampa. republicans are trying to capitalize on the alleged overlap between the clinton family foundation and her

former new york mayor rudy giuliani saying the scandal will be bigger than watergate. just a short time ago we learned the funeral arrangements for a fixture in the tampa community for so many years have been finalized. lawrence higgins, the founder and pastor of saint lawrence catholic church for 49 years will be laid to rest next wednesday at 11:30 at the burial garden of memories cemetery in tampa. before that, though, there will be public viewings on in the evening. both of those happening at saint lawrence catholic church in tampa. he was 87 years old. and now we know what caused a fire at some condos in clearwater overnight. firefighters tell us that someone smoking on a balcony tried to put out a cigarette in a plastic water bottle but ended upstarting a fire. the people were woken up to smoke alarms.

all right. about this time yesterday, dell mabry looked like this. >> oh. >> a flooded mess. and those afternoon storms are back. but in some places. shay ryan is here to tell us where. >> yeah. not everyone seeing rain. we had quite a few that rolled through an hour or two ago. now we're drying up across the area. take a look at the main sail beach in. so often this time of day we look at this picture and it's blue skies and sunshine and folks are hanging out on the beach. take a look pretty gusty out there. on the radar, things are nice and dry between pinellas and hillsborough county. you can see the showers and storms that have rolled off shore. and still gusty winds across anna marie island. we are at least drying out across the coastline for now. showers and storms are developing in eastern polk county and highlands county. around 6:00, we will still see scattered storms.

going to be moving out of the area or at least closer to the coastline and coming to an end. by 10:00, unlikely that you will see any rain out there. temperatures closer to 80 at that point. you know that the tropics are heating up. right? and the question that is on everybody's mind, where is this storm headed that doesn't even have a name yet? i will have more on that coming up in my next forecast. >> reporter: i'm todd walker. two major earthquakes around the world in coming up, why size moll gists say one was so much more deadly than the other and are they related. >> todd will have that. and we're following breaking news in st. petersburg right now. a loaded handgun found at lakewood high school this afternoon. no one was hurt. we're not identifying the student because they are not of age. but the gun was found hidden under the student's clothes when the student was searched because of a probation officer

we will have they are on that coming -- we will have more on that coming up. you're watching the now tampa

>> all day long we have checking the world map of earthquakes happening throughout the day following the devastating 6.2 magnitude quake in italy. italy hit with aftershocks throughout the day. some temples damaged. at least three people are dead there. a weaker quake also reported as well today in indonesia. laura, you have a look at it's really bad there. >> right. just look at this at this aerial picture. devastating pictures we're getting in. even worse than that, the death toll, 120 people confirmed dead from the earth wake. there are stories of survival right now like an 8-year-old being pulled from the rubble alive. that magnitude 6.2 quake hit italy 100 miles northeast of rome as people were sleeping

to try to reach teem trapped in the collapsed homes and buildings. check out this aerial view from an italian news agency. it looks like a war zone down below. all of the gray and dust covers rows and rows of houses. except that one brown building standing there. the now's todd walker is looking into if the quakes in southeast asia are connected and what made the one in italy so destructive. >> reporter: here at the national earthquake information data sites around the world collecting seismic information. it has been an intense day in italy as rescuers comb through rubble trying to find any survivors from the magnitude 6.2 earthquake. then another earthquake causing major damage. seismologists in the u.s. say these earthquakes couldn't be

different sides of the globe. earthquakes are a random process and sometimes random things happen is he same time. >> reporter: he says the quake in italy was very shallow, only about six miles below the surface in an area where many of the buildings are old and not retrofitted for earthquakes. >> those heavy brick buildings are going to fall down and unfortunately trap people under them. >> reporter: the other quake was much deeper, 52 miles which likely contributed to fewer fatalities. >> there was thrust for the absorbed into it's not over in either place seismologists expect aftershocks from the earthquakes to continue for month. for the now, i'm todd walker. >> thank you, todd. this is the outrage of the day. remember these incredible rescuers we kept seeing. all of these rescues happening in louisiana. they're just people, random people, good samaritans trying to help people. a louisiana lawmaker wants them

going forward, republican state senator jonathan perry wants to regulate citizen heroes. he wants them to get training certificates and pay a permit fee and he gave two reasons why. one, there's a liability issue there. say a rescuer goes out to save someone and they get hurt or die themselves. second, you will never know how many people are actually being rescued. as you can imagine, members of the self proclaimed cajun navy do not agree. how can you regulate people helping people? by the it will cost $30 million to just to get the work started for relief for the area. you think you're getting too much ice in your iced coffee at starbucks? a federal judge is saying too bad. that. >> threw out a lawsuit. the lawsuit claimed a 24-ounce iced drink actually only has 14- ounce of fluids. but the judge didn't buy it.

reasonable person -- meet a reasonable person's expectation. another court is considering a similar lawsuit we told you about back in may. breaking news. we want to take you live to indianapolis where a tornado has touched down there. at least one. possibly more. this is in marion county. we're hearing report that's a starbucks was destroyed and kids are trapped in a school area we're talking about is about an hour from indianapolis. let's talk to shay about this. >> we do have an active -- several active tornado warnings right now in the area, right in the downtown indianapolis area. and then also one to the north across i-69. so if you do have friends and family in the area, make sure to alert them. they probably hear the sirens going off outside. i have seen plenty of reports

blaring. again, there is a starbucks that has been destroyed. as you mentioned, kids trapped in the school. so definitely see serious situation there. that is the one spot we have significant weather across the nation. in our area, much calmer. typical showers rolling across the area from east to west. and you can see that there. there's not a lot going on. but we do have some storms in polk county right now. and they are all headed off to the east. so -- off to the west, that is few bubbling up throughout the remainder of the evening. 86 right now in tampa. a few of the showers and storms rolled through an hour or so ago helped to bring the temperatures down. 89 in brandon right now. 84 in bartow. 90 in haines city. 90 in new port richey. 89 in sarasota right now. so as we continue through the night, we will still see a chance for a few of the hit or miss showers and storms. after sunset, they will be

side tomorrow afternoon only to have the afternoon showers and storms again. let's talk about the tropics. this is where things get a bit more interesting. of course we have gaston off in the atlantic. that won't cause any problem for us. but it is this storm, batch of storms here that have about an 80% chance of developing into a numbered or named storm over the next couple of days that we're keeping a close eye on. right now the spaghetti models are bringing it in the general direction of this weekend. and then after that, this is where the spaghetti models in general are bringing it over the state of florida. there is a lot of uncertainty about the direction that this storm is going and what the possible intensity of the storm could be as it impacts the state of florida. if it does at all. again, we're continuing to monitor the storm. we will know more over the next couple of days. i have the latest path. and, boy, talk about interesting model projections.

the potential impacts for florida coming up. >> thank you, shay. coming up on the now tampa bay, the new idea that some people may be getting diabetes by putting something in their body that is supposed to be good for them. you're watching the now tampa

>> we know this, antibiotics can fight bacteria and save lives. they could also lead to diabetes. that's what researchers say. keep in mind, they have only found the link in mice, not humans. they found higher exposure accelerated type 1 diabetes in

could impact bacteria our intestines. this alies with other studies that say that they can contribute to ahealth conditions. researchers say it's a wake-up call to meaning sure that children are not overmedicated with antibiotics. when you get stopped by the police officer because he thinks you have been drinking it probably won't help if you're not wearing any pants. >> where are your clothes? where are yo >> why are your pants down there? >> just when you thought it was weird. the other dead give-away here, your eyes are closed during your mug shot. this girl's arrest caught on police dash cam video. when they asked the 23-year-old how much she had to drink, she simply said to them too much. just take me to jail already. the officer was willing but there's a dress code. >> put your pants on, okay.

coming and i don't want you to be without your clothes. put your pants on. >> wait. there's more. her friend who came to pick her up was also stopped by the cops on suspicion of dui. that's not the only thing they had in common. >> are you wearing any clothes other than the shirt? >> yeah. that's right. she wasn't wearing any pants either. we actually told you about joslyn last week. she was busted 200 yards from the police station. okay. a dummy hanging off a blimp. the local senate candidate behind this bizarre stunt and the message he is trying to send voters when the now tampa

>> all right. what you see here, if you see this, don't be alarmed. a body hanging off a blimp on i- 4. this is just politics. >> a senate candidate is using strange tactics to get your attention. >> it is working. ryan raiche shows us if this will actually pay or could this get him in trouble. >> reporter: with all of the noise this election year, it may take a marketing master to rise above. >> as i was driving, ways looking closer and closer. it was scary. >> reporter: a quick glance off of i-4 near plant city is the headquarters for rocky dell la fuente. his latest eye popping move is a blimp tethered to the ground

it's an actual person in real danger. >> i'm thinking i don't know what kind of stunt they're trying to pull but praying nobody was going to get hurt. >> reporter: the inflatable dummy is one of dozens hanging and poses to grab your attention. so far no accidents. >> i think it's working. it's unconventional. >> reporter: rocky the candidate is running as a job you guessed it, marketing. he may be in the market for a new blimp. i was walking back here to get a shot of the blimp before it left and it's gone. it's no longer here. it looked like the line snapped. so it flew away. oops. it appears the blimp was no match for an afternoon rainstorm. a spokesperson says they are searching for it and the dummy and hoping it didn't fly far. >> thank you jesus it was not somebody.

infamous balloon boy drama, it went just as planned. ryan raiche, the now tampa bay. well, breaking news. american university in afghanistan has been attacked. we're waiting to find out if anyone was killed or injured. an associated press photographer was in class when it happened. he went to the window after he heard an explosion and somebody shot at him. nine students were able to get out and hide campus. security forces got there immediately. the attack comes two weeks after two university staff members were kidnapped from their car. the gunman or their whereabouts are still not known. a man was arrested in london on suspicious of preparing a terrorist attack. syrian rebels have captured a keyboarder town from isis. this as turkish tanks move to

secure the territory along the border. turkey has seen a string of attacks this year. for the past three years it has been hitting targets in syria. vice president joe biden is in turkey trying to mend fences there. he is expected to ask about the thousands of soldiers, teachers, journalists killed during the failed uprising. the u.s. and turkey have had tense relations since then. well, cdc is warning about know much about. sepsis. they are calling it a medical emergency in a new report. it is a potentially life- threatening complication from an infection. it's how boxing legend mohammed ali died early this year. seven in ten people who had been to the doctor recently had sepsis and the doctor didn't

>> you need to know your risk. you need to know if you're at higher risk and know the symptoms so you can talk to your doctor about it. sepsis happens most often if you're 65 or older or have a chronic condition like diabetes. if you have a gut infection, you're also more likely to develop sepsis. catching the condition early can save your life. all right. a hurricane scouting out the tropical wave. shay can tell us what it looks like. >> here is what stinks. we do not have consistency with the models from one run to the next. let me show you how dramatically different it has been. earlier this morning, the model run, the euro, which is extremely reliable, normally, it had coming across the tip of south florida and then making landfall back into the gulf between louisiana and texas.

decided to bring it right up the coast of florida, the west coast of florida and making landfall close to tallahassee before going inland and across the carolinas. talk about a difference. normally we don't see this kind of flip flopping when you are this close to a storm nearing your area. so we do know where it's going to start and where it's likely to be by sunday morning. but it is going to take some time between now wher still disorganized. doesn't have a concentrated center of circulation. it is strengthen and has strong winds and bringing potential rains to the bahamas in the days ahead. if you're traveling in that area, check ahead because conditions will be declining over the next couple of days of. it's where the red spot is when the storm gets close to the bahamas this weekend when we will have a better idea where the storm is headed. the problem is by that time,

of advanced notice. so the bottom line is we have to keep watching this storm very closely from model run to model run and try to pick up the trends and see where the best projection would be of this storm as we head into early next week. because that's when we would have the potential for impact here on the state of florida any time from late sunday into tuesday. and, again, we will be monitoring this closely and giving you updates all evening long. denis will be in at 5:00 and in the meantime i have the bus stop forecast for you to help plan tomorrow morning and afternoon as the storms start bubbling up soon. that's coming up at 4:00. laura. >> thank you, shay. listen to this, a hillary clinton sign causing heart ache for a family in texas. the incidences one after another that will have anyone rethinking posting signs on their property. the flag arriving in japan

held. tokyo hoping to pull out all the stops for the games in

>> right now, new details coming in harrouff, the 19-year-old accused of killing a couple at random and trying to eat the man's face off. his father says his son's organs are starting to fail. he has been hospitalized since the attack. his father, a doctor, admits that his son did something horrific but thinks his son had a psychotic break that night and still mentally ill tonight. investigators are trying to find out if he drank chemicals

organs are malfunctioning. this story may have you rethinking putting campaign sign in your yard or car. >> this texas couple say their signs have been vandalized and the dog may have been poisoned over there. the family wonders if it is because of the same person. >> no other reason. i mean, this is our front yard. an we're not the enemy type. >> right now there's no official investigation underway. someone donated another clinton sign to the couple but they decided this time they want to keep it inside. it's been hidden in the depths of the ocean for 65 years. >> yeah. for the first time we're getting a chance to see what is left of the uss independence. here is a little bit of it here. the navy sank the aircraft carrier from world war ii on purpose 30 miles off the coast

damaged during atomic testing. you can see after nearly 7 decades, it is pretty intact. researchers are assessing how marine life have turned it into an underwater home. >> reporter: the prices of epipens are sky rocketing. this isn't the only prescription drug costing you more. the options that you have to people using apple cider vinegar for detax may get sick. >> there are benefits but there are also things that you absolutely should not be doing

>> you are allergic to

>> cashews. >> he ends up vomiting, swelling of the face, hives and about an hour into it, the second round hits and that's when his airway is impacted into two close calls sent him to the hospital. in addition to carefully watching what he eats. >> we have to check every single thing. >> reporter: melissa relies on epipens to quickly treat severe allergic reactions. when she went to pick up the prescription this time, the price had jumped. >> $600. and i went excuse it's kind of sad. it kind of makes me really sad. it is life or death. >> reporter: researchers at harvard medical school say patents make it hard to create generics. and fda approval can take a long time. it's a free market and there are no laws stopping pharmaceutical from raising prices. >> they don't really have much of an alternative to go toto. >> reporter: you should still

one her doctor didn't even know existed. >> they do the same thing. >> so what difference in price have you seen between the two? >> so epipen and this one gives you $100 off. this one is $270 prior to the $100 off. so i paid $170 for this one. this one was almost $600. so $500. >> reporter: for melissa, it's peace of mind, something she says is priceless. says the increase is because of the rising health throughout health care. harvard estimates when there are two generic versions of a name brand, the price drops by 50%. in 2013, we paid twice as much for prescription drugs in the u.s. than 19 other industrialized nations. do you think having to pay more for sugary drinks encourages you to drink fewer

with more cities considering taxing the drinks. the first study is out showing that the taxes could work. berkeley was the first city in the country to pass a soda tax. it shows a 21% drop in people drinking sugary drinks since it was implemented march of last year. during the same time, san francisco that voted down a tax like this saw a 4% increase. but laura, the american beverage association says the study has flaw holes in the theory, it's the people who made the sodas. they say there's no indication that it has had an impact on people's health. philadelphia will be the next city to add one in 2017. san francisco did it. oakland, california did it, and then boulder colorado are all considering it right now.

happening outside right now. shay, what can you tell us? >> well, things are looking pretty decent out there at the moment. we have the regular round of showers and storms this afternoon. but not a ton of coverage. take a look and you can see the main sail beach in on anna maria island still looking a bit cloudy and a bit breezy out there as well. there are still folks hanging out on the beaches and parking themselves in the sand. can't be too bad out there. as we look back at what is going on we do have three active tornado warnings. if you have friends and family in bloomington, around indianapolis and north of muncie, across 69, that's where we have three different active tornado warnings. with a history of tornadoes on the ground, this is certainly a serious system tonight that we will continue to watch. again as we look in our area, things are looking good. we have got pretty dry conditions across tampa bay. if you do plan on running an

the next couple of hours or want to grill on the back porch, things are looking good for that. there are a few showers and storms rolling through polk county. they have been ringing themselves out working their way to the west. a lot of that won't hold together. but take a look at the futurecast. you can see it is showing the highest chances for rain is in the southern counties. we're not seeing a lot developing there either. as we move through the next couple of hours, it will taper off shore. maybe an isolated shower desoto or highlands county, right around midnight. overnight we will be nice and dry. tomorrow morning as you're stepping out the door or heading out for the jog or bike ride, things will be nice and dry. it's not until noon that we see showers or an isolated storm bubbling up inland. then it becomes more widespread with our showers and storms that lasts through the afternoon and just after sunset. nothing too out of the ordinary for tomorrow. typical summertime pattern will

in the upper 70s to near 80 degrees. then when the kids are going home, the best chance that you will catch a shower as the kids are stepping out of school will be inland with those showers and storms becoming more numerous by the time that the kids get into the after-school sports. sow may want to check with the coaches again as usual as the storms bubble up. over the next couple of days, highs in the low 90s. we will 50 to 60% chance of coverage of storms on sunday. the that's mainly for afternoon showers and storms. this is our typical pattern through sunday. early next week, there is the possibility that even here in tampa bay we could see some impacts from that storm that is brewing out there near the leeward islands. we will have more on that with denis at 5:00. >> shay, we do have breaking news coming in. the storms in indianapolis that you were talking about just a second ago, damage reports

an area an hour from indianapolis. this is a photo that you're looking at. the starbucks was flattened. we have video too to show you of this tornado. look at the storm. captured right there. it looks really bad there. other areas we're hearing tree limbs are down, rooftops blown off homes and buildings. i know you're looking at this video wondering if anyone is hurt. so far we're not hearing any reports of anyone being injured. laura. >> the first of month away. mike sax is getting hints about how the candidates are preparing to sway voters their way. >> reporter: hillary clinton and donald trump are chris crossing the country holding rallies and giving speeches and raising money. behind the scenes they're preparing for their first face- to-face showdown next month. clinton gave a hint of her plan to jimmy kimmel this week. >> i want to take it seriously. i want to talk about what we can do and how important it is.

like whacky stuff that comes at you. >> reporter: remember this. >> look at those hands. are they small hands? and he referred to my hands. if they're small, something else must be small. i guarantee there's no problem. >> reporter: maybe that not wacky stuff. >> the american people are sick and tired hearing about your damn e-mails. >> thank me too. me too. >> reporter: former fox news chief doesn't think so he is and advising trump's debate prep. while trump is studying clinton's past performances trump is looking for trump's standing. some include joe biden, and senator al franken. the job, spend the next few weeks calling crooked hillary

repeatedly about monica. i'm mike sax for the now. >> thank you, mike. science may be able to prove in a new study that older adults who were close to family members live longer than those close tore friends. researchers asked people between 57 to 85 to list up to five of their closest confidantes, excluding spouses, and detail those relationships. and, laura, this has to do families. >> people say those who are close to family members have a 6% risk of death over five years. that is compared to 14% who were not close to any family members. the more the merrier. the more close family members in the network, the odds of death were lowered even more. the author of that study found the data to be surprising because you can choose your friends. you might be better customize

despite that, the data shows that family provides the greatest benefit to longevity. this sign made miranda lambert break down on stage during a recent concert in hartford. an army vet made it. he made sure that miranda saw it in the crowd. she said it was her voice and songs in a mixed tape sent to him that helped him get through it all. obviously for miranda lambert where she read the sign. an emotional moment for the soldier too. >> it was one of the happiest moments of my entire life. when you have something that you want to tell somebody and you get to regardless if you have to do it in front of a gigantic city, you know, it was -- it was really cool. >> so you saw miranda lambert there. she had to take a pause to get

to tour. the soldier never actually got to meet her. maybe that could change. we will keep you updated, an update on a 9-year-old boy, the youngest to receive a double hand transplant. >> he has been undergoing extensive therapy how to others them -- how to use them since getting them just over a year ago. he was just two years old when -- >> hands because they didn't have to do that if they didn't want to. >> he was just two years old when both his hands and feet were amputated. it was after he got a serious infection. now six years later he is retraining his brain to communicate with his new hands, gaining the ability to do so many things that we take for granted like just getting dressed in the morning or getting yourself a snack. his next goal is to convince his mom to let him play football. we tend to look for quick

weight and overall health. >> we found a new fawith ancient roots could hurt you you're not careful. apple cider gar and if it actually has the health benefits that people are swearing by. >> reporter: you have probably seen it on facebook or youtube, people turning to apple cider vinegar for health remedies and to lose weight. digestive energy levels. for the past month, i have been drinking kool-aid and it's so easy. all you have to do is get a glass of ice water. take a table spoon of this apple cider vinegar, pour it in, mix it up and sip your way to better health. i asked a dietician if this is a waste of time. >> it is a trendy thing right now. but unfortunately there is no
