Woman arrested after 'disturbing incident' at North Surry High

JUST A FEW MINUTES. THANKS BRIAN. Governor ROY COOPER has already declared a state of emergency for the state of North Carolina. THIS MORNING HE AND SUCCESS RESPONDERS WILL SHARE AN UPDATE ON THE STATE'S PREPARATION. THIS WILL TAKE PLACE AT 11 AM IN RALEIGH AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. AND WE WILL BE BROADCASTING THIS LIVE HERE ON THE AIR AND ON THE WXII 12 FACEBOOK PAGE. Officials in WILKES COUNTY are particularly focused on preparation as the area is prone to flooding. THE REGION COULD SEE UP TO 25 INCHES OF RAIN TOMORROW NIGHT. YOUR BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT NOW IS the flooding of the Yadkin River and surrounding waterways, as 6 inches of flowing water can move a vehicle and sweep it off the road. IN STANDING WATER. Every time you drive through there is a risk of flooding, which will cause the vehicle's engine to stall in the middle of the flood water, leaving you unable to escape. The county will open its emergency response center at 8 a.m. this morning. Emergency responders advise planning ahead. HAVE THREE-DAY SHIPPING OF FOOD, WATER AND ESSENTIALS. MAKE SURE YOUR ELECTRONICS AND MEDICATIONS ARE READY. HELENE ALSO DISRUPT THE SCHOOLS. STOKES COUNTY SAYS TOMORROW WILL BE A DISTANCE LEARNING DAY FOR STUDENTS. WE WILL UPDATE WXII 12.COM IF ANY FURTHER DELAYS OCCUR. And just outside the Triad, HAYWOOD COUNTY is under a voluntary evacuation order. THIS MORNING. Part of the county is prone to flooding. SOME MUNICIPALITIES MAY BE INVOLVED DURING FLOOD EVENTS, AND GEORGIA AND FLORIDA further south are also preparing for significant river and flash flooding. The governor of Florida has issued a state of emergency for 41 counties. Energy supplier employees are prepared for mass outages. THIS MORNING MORE THAN 3,000 CUSTOMERS ARE ALREADY WITHOUT POWER. TAMPA International Airport suspended all operations at 2:00 this morning. IN SANIBEL, WHICH IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE TOP OF FLORIDA, PEOPLE LEFT THEIR HOUSES NIGHT FOR THEIR SAFETY. We now head to our sister station to hear from the community who have learned to take Helene seriously. AFTER PAST STORMS. THIS IS PERIWINKLE PARK, THE ONLY MOBILE HOME PARK ON THE ISLAND. It looks like a ghost town, almost everyone has left in anticipation of the possible storm surge. It just felt right to let our residents know that you don't. IF YOU DON'T NEED TO BE HERE, DON'T BE HERE. NBC TWO WAS THERE. As people heeded the warning and began leaving the park, they even lowered the lake level to accommodate more water. MEANWHILE, windows at City Hall are covered with hurricane shutters and precautions are being taken to reduce the risk of flooding. PUBLIC WORKS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED, with weirs opened to divert much of the internal water from the island, increasing capacity to deal with any rainfall or flooding that may occur. And as hurricane season continues, we want you to be prepared at home.

It's been nearly four years since someone beat up and then shot a GREENSBORO restaurant owner. Officials are still investigating the death of 63-year-old Mark Friedman. THIS HAPPENED IN FRONT OF HIS RESTAURANT ON DALI MADISON ROAD. We spoke to his sister who is asking the public for help to close this case. I WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE AND BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMETHING AND THERE IS SOMEONE WHO WATCHES THIS ON TV AND THINKS, “I HAVE TO, MUST GO FORWARD.” I have to step forward and tell the truth. THE SUSPECT HAS A MEDIUM stocky build and a small to medium height. There is a $50,000 reward for information in this case. The father of the teenager charged in the deadly 2022 mass shooting in RALEIGH has pleaded guilty. ALLEN THOMPSON accepted a misdemeanor charge of storing a firearm in a manner accessible to a minor. HIS SON AUSTIN THOMPSON IS ACCUSED OF KILLING FIVE PEOPLE, INCLUDING HIS BROTHER. It was revealed in court that Austin had taken his father's nine-millimeter pistol from the bedside table in the bedroom where it was located
