Return to index of stories...
THE PASTOR OF MCGREGOR BAPTIST RICHARD POWELL TOLD ME THIS YOUNG VICTIM IS NOT IN GOOD SHAPE.
HE SAYS MIDDLE SCHOOLER JESSE WATLINGTON IS NOT BREATHING ON HIS OWN AND HIS BODY IS SIMPLY JUST IN SHUTDOWN MODE.
BUT THAT HASN'T STOPPED FAMILY AND FRIENDS FROM BEING AT HIS HOSPITAL BEDSIDE.
Return to index of stories...
"its mostly shock I'm not so sure that any of the closest family have had a chance for this to really settle in"
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF SWFL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY STUDENT JESSE WATLINGTON.
PASTOR RICHARD POWELL DESCRIBES THE STATIC STATE THE MIDDLE SHOOLER IS IN.
"he's not really doing anything and they've kind of helped that because they want him to rest they don't want him to fight the breathing they don't want his system that's been shocked to feel that shock "
POWELL SAYS WATLINGTON WAS A PART OF THE FIRST FEW STUDENTS TO HIT THE FIELD FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE THIS AFTERNOON.
BUT THINGS QUICKLY TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORST.
"there was a strike and the coaches said come back in and they realized one of the young men had been hit "
MEDICAL CREWS RUSHED THE YOUNG VICTIM TO THE HOSPITAL.
WHERE SEVERAL HOURS LATER.
THOSE CLOSEST TO HIM ARE PRAYING FOR HIS RECOVERY.
"I'm just asking all of our church family and school family and community members to just lift up a wonderful young man in their prayers "

TONIGHT'S DEBATE GOT HEATED ABOUT 12 MINUTES IN --
BOTH CANDIDATES TAKING AIM AT ONE ANOTHER. FROM TAXES TO THE NATION'S THREE TRILLION DOLLAR DEFICIT TO MEDICARE.
BUT HOW MUCH OF WHAT WAS SAID WAS ACTUALLY TRUE?
THE PRESIDENT TONIGHT SAID HIS ECONOMIC PLAN WOULD REDUCE DEFICITS BY FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS.
HIS PLAN IS DETAILED AND COMPLEX.
TO RAISE REVENUES, FAMILIES MAKING OVER 250-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR WOULD PAY MORE.
BUT OBAMA ALSO HAS AN EXTENSIVE LIST OF TAX BREAKS HE WOULD ELIMINATE.
NOW. ON ITS OWN THE PRESIDENT'S PLAN DOESN'T PRODUCE THE FULL FOUR TRILLION.
IT'S ABOUT 2 TRILLION AND THAT'S OVER 10 YEARS.
THE REMAINDER COMES FROM CUTS ALREADY APPROVED.
CHANGES THAT TOOK PLACE OUTSIDE OF HIS BUDGET PROPOSAL.
SO WE RANK THIS CLAIM PARTIALLY TRUE.
Return to index of stories...
ANOTHER BIG TOPIC IS MEDICARE.
AND CRITICS OF MITT ROMNEY'S PLAN SAY IT COULD COST SENIORS NEARLY 64-HUNDREDS DOLLARS MORE A YEAR.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS PLAN SEEMS TO BE EVER CHANGING ESPECIALLY SINCE PAUL RYAN WAS NAMED ROMNEY'S RUNNINGMATE IN AUGUST.
THE 64-HUNDRED DOLLAR AMOUNT IS A RECYCLED NUMBER FROM AN OUTDATED PLAN--
AND SINCE THERE AREN'T ENOUGH DETAILS ABOUT THE *NEW PLAN.
IT'S SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE, AT THIS TIME, TO TELL HOW MUCH EXTRA MONEY SENIORS MIGHT HAVE TO PAY FOR TRADITIONAL MEDICARE.
WE RANK THIS CLAIM MOSTLY FALSE.
WE'LL BE SURE TO PUT THE CANDIDATES' CLAIMS TO THE TRUTH TEST AFTER EVERY DEBATE-- TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE GETTING THE REAL STORY.
Return to index of stories...
WE ALSO WANTED TO HEAR FROM YOU TONIGHT.
WE ASKED IF THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE YOUR MIND OF WHO YOU'LL VOTE FOR NEXT MONTH.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A FEW OF OUR VIEWER RESPONSES.
KEVIN K. WRITES--
"THESE THREE DEBATES ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO HELP ME MAKE A FINAL DECISION AS TO MY VOTING DECISION COME NOVEMBER.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE ROMNEY GIVE A SOPHISTICATED, EDUCATED, COMMON SENSE, FACTUALLY CORRECT ARGUMENT ABOUT HIS VISION
FOR OUR COUNTRY.HE HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVE HIMSELF DURING THESE DEBATES - AND IF HE CAN'T GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER,
I'LL BE VOTING FOR OBAMA.
AND HERE'S ONE MORE FROM RICHARD IN CAPE CORAL.
HE SAYS, "MY MIND WAS ALREADY MADE UP BEFORE THE DEBATE. AND, SO FAR, THIS DEBATE HAS NOT INFLUENCED MY MIND AT ALL."

Return to index of stories...
FROM THE SAFETY OF A SURVEILLANCE CAMERA VIEW.
IT CAN BE DIFFICULT TO PROCESS.JUST HOW DANGEROUIS A SITUATION THIS WAS.
THE MAN WHIPPED THE MACHETE THROUGH THE POLICE STATION LOBBY.
You just never know who you'll encounter - this could've happened on the street but today it happened in our station
Police say the man in this video is 20-year-old Dejuan Anderson.
He walked into the lobby of the police department just after 7 this morning - asking for an officer.
When one walked up - his partner in training spotted a machete at Anderson's side.that's when he started swinging.
One of the officers fired his taser, but it didn't do much good.
The subject swung the machete- cutting the wire and rendering it useless. Both officers then drew their weapons.
Within seconds - 8 officers rushed into the lobby.
Lieutenant Randy Jelks walked in last - grabbed his taser.and this time.it worked.
Fired it one time and it hit him and he dropped the machete.
No officers were hurt.
WE WENT BY ANDERSON'S HOME WEDNESDAY TO SEE IF ANYONE WAS THERE WHO COULD HELP EXPLAIN THE VIOLENT OUBURST.
NO ONE ANSWERED.AND FOR NOW, POLICE SAY THEY'RE AS BAFFLED AS WE ARE.
When I first spoke to him and saw him - he didn't say anything at all.
