Good Afternoon, I’m Catie Noyes with the latest news update
In top news today New York faced a bomb scare Saturday evening when a street vender noticed a smoking Nissan Pathfinder parked on a curb in the center of Times Square. The vender alerted authorities and a bomb squad was brought in to inspect the vehicle. Police found a car bomb made of propane, gasoline and fireworks inside the S.U.V.. Police are investigating a surveillance video which shows a white man who appeared to be in his 40s leaving the scene.
Shifting gears and taking a look at our weather. Monday will be partly cloudy with a high of 78 and scattered showers in the evening. Expect to dry out by Tuesday and reach a high of 73. Wednesday will bring in plenty of sunshine with temperatures reaching a high of 80 degrees. Rain and storms make their way back in on Thursday and Friday with temperatures cooling back into the 70s.
Weather conditions didn’t slow down weekend movie goers from getting their horror movie fix. Freddie Krueger made his return to the big screen in the 1980s remake of “Night Mare on Elm Street.” The movie brought in 32 million dollars landing it in first place at the box office this weekend. Second place went to “How to Train Your Dragon” which brought in an estimated 10.8 million dollars.
In sports news Cavalier’s star LeBron James takes home his second consecutive M.V.P. award. He received 116 of 123 possible first place points to give him a landslide victory over Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant. James is the 10th N.B.A. player to win the award two years in a row.
In local news the destination of the Columbus casino will be decided in Tuesday’s vote placing it either in the arena district or in the site of the former General Motors-Delphi auto parts plant on the west-side of Columbus. Issue 3 may have passed in Ohio but 58 percent of Franklin County residents were opposed to the casino being built. Residents of the city should have a say in where this casino is being built since it will affect them the most and why not build it where space is available.
Thanks for tuning in today, this has been Catie Noyes with your latest news update.
