good grades and he is probably planning to go to college and good. >> at our school you can be charged for bringing a water pistol to school. >> this is a very, very good school, a good environment but you know, things happen. >> according to the school's handbook, students found with weapons are subject to suspension, expulsion or arrest. the student was released from jail this afternoon, and the school has not said what discipline he will be facing on their end. >> and in another situation, a student's text on the way to school may have stropped a strop stopped a crime that was about to happen. a student saw 18-year-old

handgun and hiding it and a ski mask four seats behind a bus driver. the student then texted a relative who called 9-1-1 and that led deputies to simms. >> we are trying to interview the suspect to see did he have school? did he realize someone was watching him and that is why he hid it or was he hiding it on the bus so after school he could grab the items. >> turns out that the gun was stolen from temple terrace, and investigators are trying to find out who stole it, simms or someone else. this is not simms' first arrest, a previous arrest charged him with grand theft, domestic battery and petty theft.

>> he has longer blond hair. >> he was standing outside a limo after midnight on tuesday. he may have just gotten a ride to the state theater. >> our suspect is walking away from the scene and he turns back around and engages in conversation with this gentleman. >> the encounter with limo man lasts for 10 seconds, and police have no clue what the conversation was about, but the drive was face to face with a man who had swrus just dropped off a box with art inside worth $25,000. >> we just went him to come in to help us identify. >> even throughout him, police have made headway saying this video may show the same man

a name. >> it seems usual that the man would take it from the museum and drop it off at the morean. >> limo man turned and walked away as the suspect did. he was out of frame but is still very much a part of their investigation. >> our art district is huge. it's great for our city and brings a lot of population and tourists here, good for our economy and we are going to make sure that the person who took this is brought to justice. >> and so why did he bring it back? police are speculating it's possible what he saw was the media attention this god and he got and he wouldn't get what this piece is worth on the black market. >> anxious to see what happens here, evan, thanks. >> today in tallahassee, the bauer

the mother of another pleaded with the state to fix the state sentencing system for death penalties. >> it was struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional. it found that the system was giverring judges not juries the power to decide. and that is a violation of the defendant's rights. back in 2009 this woman's father was kidnapped, tied to a bed for four days and then left to die. she says florida still needs the death penalty. >> i ask you to focus on the victims of homicide who have suffered greatly and their families to ensure that justice is served and that peas peace of mind is granted that these horrible individuals will never walk free. >> this is the latest attempt to

senate's proposal that would require a unanimous recommendation from a jury before the death penalty could be imposed. another proposal has a 9-3 vote in favor of the depth penalty death penalty. >> and more fall-out over the death penalty tonight, a hillsborough county judge has blocked it from a case entirely. she stopped prosecutors from seeking the death penalty. with his trial set to begin in april, rivas was no doubt relieved to hear what the judge had to say. >> based on the hearst decision that concluded that florida's sentencing scheme is

no statutory authority for the state to seek or the court impose the death penalty as a possible sentence. >> if the defendant is convicted he will face life in prison and the state plans on appealing the judge's decision by the way. >> two deputies were shot and killed at a shopping center in maryland today, it happened about lunch time about 20 miles northeast of baltimore. one of the deputies was responding to a call about a man making a scene at a panera restaurant. when he sat down beside the man and asked how he was doing, dave evans, the man shot him in the head and then took off. a few minutes later, deputies caught up with evans and he opened fire again fatally shooting a second officer before he was shot and killed. the sheriff says the situation could have been even worse.

was very full and thankfully no one else there or at the second scene down the hill was injured. >> investigators say evans may have been trying to avoid capture. he had warrants out for his arrest in maryland and in florida where he was charged with assaulting a police officer and eluding police. the slain deputies' names have not been released. and coming up a dog was going to be put to sleep. >> i asked to take him to my vet. >> he wanted a second opinion and now his dog was a second chang. >> chance. >> and crime does not pay, in fact, it costs you big time. we are going to break down the shocking numbers tonight at 10:30. all right, paul, it's cold. >> we have 40's all over the place, watching out for a frost and a freeze. it was a good looking day today.

poor dog and then dumped him in an industrial area. >> and fortunately for him, he couldn't have been abandoned in a better spot. >> as the owner of a body shop, adam cleric clark makes his living repairing what others have broken but this dog seemed almost beyond hope. >> you could see all of his ribs and the back of his spine, everything was showing, open sores all over. >> the dog, so emaciated he could hardly skin, ts his skin was sloughing off but beneath that adam saw an undeniable spirit. >> you would figure a dog would not want any contact with humans and you could tell right away he was a good dog. >> he said animal services told him they just didn't have the

health and he would be put to sleep if they took him. >> i asked them if i could take him to my vet. >> he was checked out and he has no tumor or heartworms and they gave him a bath and a name, andre. >> the vet says it's going to cost about $1500 to nurse him back to health and adam didn't hesitate to give him the downpayment out of his own pocket. >> by wednesday night there was $3,000, and the response blew adam away. >> adam clark a man who repairs what others have broken knowing that the worst looking damage doesn't mean something should be thrown away.

still needs several more weeks at the vet to nourish him and restore his emaciated body, and adam says if there is any money left when andre is better, he will donate it to help other abandoned and abused animals. >> and we hope he finds a great and loving home. >> and a tip of the cap to him for taking care of him, clearly he has a big heart. >> and bundle up tonight, it's cold, and i smelled smoke from people burning their fireplaces and what-not, it's a cold night. and the first one, jackie bradley down in englewood, a little bit of crepuscular rays action, and you have to love the winter sunsets.

spectacular with cold-air clouds over the gulf. as the sun goes down that is a good view and then pinellas point, and you see the skyway bridge, way, way, way out in the distance, way right here. that is like a wallpaper-worthy photo. all of these on my facebook page, and how about today? the sixth kay in sixth day in a row that we did not hit 70 degrees the first time that has opened in over two years and we have had seven days in a row below 70, back to 2010 and we should be back up or slightly above 70, a bunch of blue days in a row. simple weather map tonight still with a big trough in the east, cold air moving to the south and

the thing is that the winds have diminished significantly, and there is less of an impact of the water blowing over the relatively warm waters of the gulf. already it is freezing in inverness, it's 34 in crystal river. dade city is 38, and sever zephyrhills and i think the freeze will verify in our north not northern counties. there should be wide-spread frost. the cold air drains down the peninsula and it's actually colder in some spots east of us. sebring is 46 and here is the key. remember the past couple of days when the winds were making headlines and now it's caught in spots like brandon and bore bartow, and you go in and get calm winds and it gets really cold with a

atmosphere like this. the freeze will verify in hernando and citrus countries from 3:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. any way you slice it, it's going to be a cold, frosty night. a monstrous winter trough along the east coast and with that trough in place, nearly every state from maine to georgia and back to miss miss mississippi had some snow. winds, north-northwest, and here comes another cold front, reinforcing the cool front tomorrow. we are talking about lows in spring hill down to 32, and 33 in zephyrhills and 40 in tampa but the coldest spot is away from the city and inland. don't be shocked if you wake up

hillsborough county. and many spots inland will be in the mid to upper 30's. wide-spread frost tomorrow morning. clear and cold, a frost in most places and a freeze north. we have sunshine tomorrow and still cool. back in the mid 60's. the warm have up begins on friday, and we hit 69 and right now the weekend looks cool. mostly sunny and 71. and then cool on wednesday, back to you. >> sounds good, paul. back to you, move over uber river taxi travel is the next big thing. >> who wants to be stuck in traffic? if you're on the water, you always have a clear path.

>> new alternate 10:00 at 10:00, commuters will have a new water rout to take downtown. launching is a water taxi service and i think this sounds like a fantastic idea. it will run from the river walk to channelside. >> crystal clark spent her day getting a look at the boats and they are going have a pirate theme? are they kidding me? >> that's right, they will be dressed as pirates not just during gasparilla but year

could be faster and even cheaper than parking. >> wall-to-wall traffic is nothing new for commuters but getting off the roads and on to the water is. >> who wants to be stuck in traffic, if you're on the water, you always have a clearpath. >> cj lives here for decades and says he is seeing the city take advantage of its greatest assets. >> i grew up in tampa and this is my city by choice and in the last five years or so, it's almost like the city has awoken and seen that they are on the water. >> the river walk has more people looking for ways to explore am ta tampa and that is what motivated yacht starship to launch three new water taxis. >> you can come and spend the day in downtown tampa and get

this would allow parents to send students to any public school in the state and critics say it could put a financial burden and even out underperforming schools but a representative from palm harder says harbor says it's also in practice in other counties and it will work. >> we are trying to allow parents to have flexibility, if there is a public school in their vicinity or in another district that is a good fit for their child and they have a seat ready to go, they could send their child to that school. >> if it's successful in the senate it would go into effect on july 1. and coming up, big changes in the race for the white house. >> two candidates already dropped out, and the battle for their votes is intensifying. whether the south carolina primary could be a game changer,
