HELLO-1SHOT PUSH

GOOD MORNING SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

TODAY IS SUNDAY FEBRAURY 17TH.

I'M JOE ROETZ.

AND THIS MORNING WE'RE WAKING UP TO COME CHILLY TEMPERATURES-METEOROLOGIST KIRA MINER IS HERE TO HELP YOU PLAN OUT YOUR DAY.

FIRST WEATHER-WX CTR

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

A strong cold front that swiftly moved through Southwest Florida yesterday has put us back into winter mode, as arctic air continues to spill down the spine of the peninsula. You'll want to bundle up early this Sunday morning as the mercury has plunged into the 30s and 40s area wide. Combine the actual air temperature with breeze, and we easily have wind chill values in the low to mid 30s.

Through the morning skies will stay sunny and temperatures will be slow to rise. Even with wall to wall sunshine during the afternoon hours, daytime highs will range from the upper 50s north to lower 60s south. Winds will continue to settle through out the day, but still plan on a cool breeze out of the north making it feel even cooler than what the thermometer actually reads.

Tonight, skies will be clear and winds will be light. This will set the stage for another very cold night across our part of the state with the potential for frost to develop by early morning. Overnight lows will plummet into the upper 30s along the urban corridor with our inland areas dropping near 32°.

Cool high pressure will dominate our weather pattern to start the week, however the arctic airmass that has settled on top of us will begin to modify and the warm up will begin. By Monday afternoon temperatures will rebound into the lower 70s under mostly sunny skies and pleasant humidity values.

"I mean, my tattoos are not disrespectful to anybody… I currently work in the field."

STEVENS HAS TWO DEGREES IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AND WORKS AS A CORRECTIONS OFFICER.

.BUT HENNEPIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE POLICY STATES 'NO TATTOOS VISIBLE WHEN EMPLOYEES ARE IN UNIFORM."

"If I can wear a long sleeve shirt, and do the job just fine, I don't think there's a problem."

TATTOO ARTISTS HEAR THIS DEBATE ALMOST DAILY…

"We hear more, just people, just, "Oh, I'm a lawyer so I know I can't have a neck tattoo.'"

AT ST. SABRINA'S IN UPTOWN, MANAGEMENT UNDERSTANDS BOTH SIDES.

"Its essentially just a decoration on your skin but at the same time every business has the option and has the right to decide what the standards are."

"With tattoos still popular we wanted to check in with other places of employment about their policy."

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE SAYS "NO VISIBLE TATTOOING"…. WE CALLED A LOCAL HOSPITAL HOWEVER THAT SAYS "TATTOOS ARE FINE."

ONE UPSCALE RESTAURANT SAYS "WE EMBRACE INDIVIDUALITY" WHILE ANOTHER SAYS, "KEEP IT COVERED."

REEVA STENKAMP REALITY-INTRO

A SOUTH AFRICAN TELEVISION CHANNEL IS DEFENDING ITS DECISION TO AIR A REALITY SHOW FEATURING REEVA STEENKAMP.

SHE IS THE GIRLFRIEND OF OSCAR PISTORIUS, THE FAMED OLYMPIC DOUBLE AMPUTEE SPRINTER, WHO IS NOW ACCUSED OF MURDERING HER.

MORE DETAILS ARE COMING OUT ABOUT HER DEATH.

REEVA STENKAMP REALITY-PKG

Stunned South Africans watched Reeva Steenkamp come back to life on

television Saturday. the 29-year old bikini-clad model appeared here in

the first episode of "Tropika Island of Treasure."

Steenkamp was killed on Valentine's Day.

Her boyfriend, Oscar Pistorius, the first double-amputee to compete at the

Olympics, is charged with her murder.

He remains inside a South African prison tonight

SOT Arnold Pistorius, Oscar Pistorius' uncle

"Oscar, as you can imagine, is also numb with shock and grief, in total pain

."

Steenkamp was discovered in a pool of blood in Pistorius' home. Police say

she was shot four times with a 9 millimeter pistol they recovered from

inside the house. The South African newspaper Beeld reports the first

neighbor on the scene after the shooting found Pistorius performing C-P-R on

his girlfriend.

Prosecutors dismiss the theory that Pistorius mistook his girlfriend for an

intruder charging him with premeditated murder, punishable by life in prison

.

South Africans are still trying to make sense of the tragedy.

SOT Jeandre Venter, South African resident

"I feel so sorry for both families."

A sorrow that will be felt watching the star cover-girl in her TV series.

Her family asked that the show air as planned.

WOMEN AND GUNS-INTRO

IN JUST 90 MINUTES AFTER THE PRESIDENT'S ANTI-GUN VIOLENCE SPEECH THIS WEEK, THERE WERE FOUR SHOOTINGS ON THE STREETS OF CHICAGO.

THIS MORNING WE LOOK AT AT THE TREND. AS MORE AND MORE WOMEN TURN TO GUNS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

WOMEN AND GUNS-PKG

Everywhere Erin goes now she says her gun is on her.after that terrifying night three weeks ago

I looked up and he was like this pointing the gun straight at me and I am just looking at the end of the gun

Three men, one of them armed, broke into Erin's house an hour outside of Houston.She was alone with her six year old son.

Outnumbered and scared, the young mother had one thought

My gun, my gun, my gun. That was the only thing that was going to save me.

Erin tricked the intruders into her bedroom, where she managed to grab her gun.

I just turned and I shot.

She shot one of them in the stomach.another wrestled her gun away kneeing her in the eye, but all three fled.

Erin believes having a gun saved her life.

Erin did eventually call 911 but not until after the intruders left... women who say they need a gun for protection worry that help will not get to them in time.

nats. of gun range

Paxton Quigley has been training women and writing books about self defense since the 90's after a close friend was raped.

It was not easy for me to get a publisher for my book because there were so many women who were against guns.

She's noticed big changes in women's attitudes towards guns.

Today, the number of women buying them is on the rise.

A gallup poll reported that in 2005 13% of all women owned a gun, that number jumped to 23% in 2011

Many like Stacey Adams say they are buying guns to protect themselves

There aren't many men I know who aren't bigger and stronger than I am. 021439 So, even in the best scenario, I'm already at a loss.

And the number could spike even higher this year triggered by shootings in Aurora Co. and Newtown Ct,

The increase with women has really been apparent over the last, I'd say, 4 to 8 weeks. 021943

It's a trend that worries those who believe more guns put more people in danger.especially women.

The evidence is strong that a gun in the home increases the risk for, of course, a gun accident. The evidence is overwhelming that a gun in the home increases the risk for suicide. And evidence is very strong that a gun in the home increases the risk for femicide.

But even gun control advocates will admit that there are moments when guns are good protection.no one needs to explain that to Erin

It's extremely terrifying to be in your own home and have somebody come in through the window

Tonight, skies will be clear and winds will be light. This will set the stage for another very cold night across our part of the state with the potential for frost to develop by early morning. Overnight lows will plummet into the upper 30s along the urban corridor with our inland areas dropping near 32°.

Cool high pressure will dominate our weather pattern to start the week, however the arctic airmass that has settled on top of us will begin to modify and the warm up will begin. By Monday afternoon temperatures will rebound into the lower 70s under mostly sunny skies and pleasant humidity values.

METEOR CLEANUP-VO IN TCMON

THIS MORNING-

A MASSIVE CLEAN CONTINUES AFTER A METEORITE EXPLODED OVER RUSSIA.

METEOR CLEANUP-PKG

THERE IS A BIG CLEAN UP UNDERWAY.

THE SHOCKWAVE BLEW OUT WINDOWS IN MORE THAN FOUR-THOUSAND BUILDINGS IN THE CHELYABINSK REGION.

OFFICIALS HAVE PROMISED TO HAVE THOSE WINDOWS FIXED WITHIN A WEEK, BUT THAT IS A LONG TIME TO WAIT IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

IT'S A VERY, VERY COLD PART OF THE WORLD.

MIDDAY TEMPERATURE IS ABOUT TEN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

SO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DESPERATELY TRYING TO KEEP WARM.

THEY'RE OUT THERE REPLACING THEIR WINDOWS, BOARDING THEM UP WITH PLASTIC SHEETING AND CARDBOARD, AND THE GLAZIERS ARE BUSY.

NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT OF THE ONE-THOUSAND-200 PEOPLE WHO WERE INJURED ABOUT 15 REMAIN IN HOSPITAL, AND ONE IS IN A COMA.

THE REASON THE INJURIES WERE SO HIGH IS THAT OF COURSE PEOPLE SAW THIS FLASHING LIGHT GOING ACROSS THE SKY, THEY RACED TO THEIR WINDOWS TO HAVE A LOOK AND THEM BOOM THERE WAS THIS HUGE EXPLOSION, AND ALL THE GLASS SHATTERED.

I UNDERSTAND THERE'S ABOUT 33-MILLION DOLLARS OF DAMAGE.

NOW DIVERS ARE OUT LOOKING FOR A LARGE CHUNK THAT IT WAS THOUGHT MIGHT HAVE FALLEN IN A LAKE IN THIS REGION.

SO FAR THEY'VE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING, BUT OF COURSE SCIENTISTS WILL BE VERY INTERESTED TO GET THEIR HANDS ON ANYTHING THEY MIGHT FIND.
