i'm rikki cheese. steve wolford is off today. one person is dead -- another one wounded after a shooting near jones and vegas.. this happened just after 11.. and action news reporter michael burton has been on the scene ever since.. michael, what are police saying? rikki - it's still a very active scene here and police say it will be for hours to come. let's take a closer look at the house where it all went down. believe it or not - the victim's body is still inside the home. the homeowner called police at about 11:15 this morning - saying he shot a couple of young men who broke into his home. when police arrived at the home - they were able to locate three male juveniles. a 17-year-old pronounced dead on scene - another 17-year-old 13-year-old who was unharmed. the wounded suspect is now being treated at umc - and the 13- year old has been detained. police say he never went inside the home - but it still considered a suspect. police say it appears all three young men may live in the area. none of them were carrying weapons durin

i'm rikki cheese. one step outside and you can feel how drastically our weather has changed. let's go to chief meteorologist bryan scofield and 'weather first.' a wind advisory is still in effect for the las vegas valley until 6 this morning but gusty winds will persist throughout most of the day. winds pushed temperatures very warm yesterday, mccarran hit 70 around 7:00 last evening and those same winds kept the temperatures very warm overnight. that will bring las vegas into an odd situation where the warmest temperatures came in around midnight to 1am and the into the valley as the cold core of the storm moves overhead this afternoon and evening. the core will bring some more moisture and better dynamics to force some rain showers to form most of the showers will stay in the mountains but a few will push into the valley and give a hundredth or two of rain. 2-4 inches of snow is possible in the mountains up above 5,000 feet so mt. charleston and the ski park will see some more accumulating snow. sunday will see temperatures climb ahead of the next system with more sunshine

cbs news legal expert rikki klieman is with uc now. she is a former prosecutor and a defense attorney. good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard his defenseton pretty much shrug off the issue about obtaining the quaaludes that he admitted in his deposition, said that she didn't need to defend that. do you agree with that? >> i think what you have in his defense lawyers are great lawyers who are really fierce advocates and doing what they should be doing now. when you look at the quaalude issue, the deposition that became public in july from a civil case brought by this complaining witness, this alleged victim andrea constand, does not say that he sexually assaulted her by the use of drugs. get quaaludes to use with women for sex. now, that takes us in a whole, what the lawyers would call a frolic of their own. that is not a facetious comment but a lawyer comment. because back in the '70s and '80s, quaaludes were often used by consenting adults so that is what this lawyer is talking about. however, i think the quaaludes are least of an

rikki - i was expecting chaos - now that we're down to the wire, here - but take a look around. the crowd has been pretty big, but not nearly as big as the crowds on black friday - but remember black friday is for people who want to get ahead of the game. the people i spoke with today are just a little behind. "the last day to shop. did you wait till the last minute? you know what, no, not really. let me stop lying. okay, yes." "yea, last minute i think we're doing pretty good." "i've been working double shifts lately so i haven't had time to go shopping." being late isn't the worst thing in the world because...look at all these deals! some stores - 40 percent off of everything. one store - 75 percent off everything. we're reaching the end of the year here. store managers tell me this is the time when the hope to get rid of unsold stock. so the larger items like tv's may not be half off like on black friday - but consumers, today, enjoyed somewhat similar deals - without all those lines. "i feel like i get just as good of a deal on the day before christmas than i do on black fri

year- i'm rikki cheese. and i'm steve wolford. temperatures across southern nevada have been on the cooler side.. but the bigger issue is the wind.. which could put tonight's fireworks show in jeopardy. let's go to chief meteorologist bryan scofield in the weather center with the latest. bryan. a wind advisory is in effect for the colorado river valley and lake mead through early tomorrow morning. winds in the advisory area are expected to gust in the 40-50mph range. this is due to surface high directly to the north of the

live intro: rikki/jacqui - i'm here at buffalo bill's casino - one of the establishments on the state line that authorities and family members have searched. they say he was driving a silver nissan sentra and they haven't been able to find that either. wallace inkenbrandt was last seen yesterday at 10am - when he left his home in the valley to run an errand. "our heavenly father is watching down right now and he's going to find him. he's gonna bring him back to us." 8 secs that was wallace's wife breaking down in the arms of a friend. she says he left the house yesterday - headed to the he wanted to buy food for relatives visiting from out of town. at about noon - she got a text from him saying he was almost home - but he never showed up. family members immediately began searching the area for hours - found nothing - and then called police. police traced his phone to an area near the state line - and began searching casinos, hotels, and other businesses in this area - but they have yet to find the phone. his family is extremely worried about his heath. he has dementia and cancer. he w

well, rikki - town square just closed minutes ago - so the crowd is pretty much gone at this point - but i will say, hundreds of shoppers have been in and out of these stores all day long. a lot of shoppers tell me they wait till today - because the deals are pretty close to black friday deals. this is new information to me because i don't usually wait till the last minute to shop - but i did speak with a manager who explained why christmas eve is very similar black friday. "people that didn't have a good black friday are trying to make up for it to try and have a good christmas so they're 40 percent off early as opposed to doing it after christmas." that's was a store manager saying a lot of stores strategically offer big deals today, if they didn't sale as much as they wanted on black friday. "sale" is, without a doubt, the word of the day. take a look at them right here on your screen. stores with 50 percent off of everything - 60 percent of everything. there was even one store where everything was under $14.99. it kind of looks like black friday - but without all the lines. you c

i'm rikki cheese. and i'm steve wolford. police have now identified the driver as 24-year old lakeisha holloway. they say she'd only been in las vegas for a week and was sleeping in her car in different parking garages. just hours ago, they released this photo of her. she is being held without bail -- right now, she is facing on charge of "murder with a deadly weapon".. district attorney steve wolford says he expects her to face dozens of charges of attempted murder. chopper 13 was the only news helicopter in the air during last night's chaos. this video gives you an idea of how much of the strip was shut down by police. in fact.. las vegas boulevard was closed investigation. the woman fled the scene after the crash happened -- but she parked her car at the tuscany.. a couple blocks away, near flamingo and koval. that's where she turned herself in. we were there -- and captured this shot of the car, with its windshield shattered. according to the arrest report, she would not explain why she drove onto the sidewalk. sheriff j

live intro: rikki/jacqui - one of first things police did was track wallace's phone and according to their radar - it's near one of the casino's on the state line. questioning how this could have happened. "he may have been disoriented so we don't want to rule that out that he possibly did it, but we can't rule out foul play either." at this point authorities are still searching for wallace's phone, his car, and of course wallace himself. he drives a silver nissan sentra. that's the car he was using when he left his house yesterday to go to a walmart near mlk and craig. i'm told that right around noon - he sent a text to his wife saying he was almost home - but he never showed up. that's when family members rushed to the walmart - looking inside the building and in the surrounding neighborhood. after hours of no luck. they called police. this morning metro's missing persons unit led a search on foot near the state line and in the air using their choppers. wallace's family is most concerned for his health. he has cancer and dementia - two illnesses that require daily medication. "it's
