Measles case reported in Gaston County, health experts say

AND WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE. THAT BREAKING news TAKES US TO VENEZUELA, WHERE PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP SAYS THE UNITED STATES SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT A LARGE SCALE STRIKE EARLY THIS MORNING. TRUMP SAYS THE U.S. CAPTURED VENEZUELAN PRESIDENT NICOLAS MADURO AND HIS WIFE AS A PART OF THE OPERATION, AND HAVE SINCE FLOWN THEM OUT OF THE COUNTRY. ATTORNEY GENERAL PAM BONDI SAYS THEY ARE SET TO FACE DRUG TRAFFICKING CHARGES IN NEW YORK. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WERE WOKEN UP BY THE SOUND OF EXPLOSIONS IN THE NATION’S CAPITAL CITY OF CARACAS. THE U.S. HAS RAMPED UP ITS MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE SOUTH AMERICAN NATION IN RECENT MONTHS, ASSEMBLING A MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE CARIBBEAN AND KILLING DOZENS IN STRIKES ON BOATS ACCUSED OF CARRYING DRUGS. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE’S HOLDING A PRESS CONFERENCE TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS. AT 11:00 THIS MORNING. WE’LL SHARE THE LATEST UPDATES ON AIR AND ONLINE AS WE GET THEM. ALL RIGHT. HERE IN THE PIEDMONT TRIAD, IT IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. THIS IS A LIVE LOOK AT NCATS CAMPUS IN GREENSBORO, WHERE IT IS CHILLY TO START THE MORNING JUST 40 DEGREES AS STUDENTS RAMP UP TO PREPARE AFTER THE HOLIDAY BREAK. BUT TO THIS MORNING, I’M JOINED BY METEOROLOGIST DAVE AIKEN. DAVE, STUDENTS COMING BACK TO SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, SOME FOLKS GEARING UP TO HEAD BACK TO SCHOOL IN OUR K THROUGH 12 SCHOOLS HERE IN THE TRIAD, AND THEY’RE COMING BACK TO A CHILLY START SOON. YEAH, IT WILL BE. IT WILL BE A LITTLE CHILLY ON MONDAY MORNING WHEN THEY GET STARTED TOO, BUT IT SHOULD BE A DRY DAY AND A GOOD PORTION OF THIS UPCOMING WEEK IS DRY. IT MIGHT BE A DRIP OR DRIZZLE OUT THERE AT THIS HOUR WITH THE EXTRA CLOUDS. IT ALWAYS MAKES IT FEEL A LITTLE COOLER ACROSS THE REGION, AND YOU CAN SEE THE RADAR HERE IS LIT UP A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN THAT. CAMERA IS WHERE WE DON’T SEE A LOT OF THIS MOISTURE REACHING THE GROUND. A LOT OF THE PIEDMONT AT THE MOMENT, YOU CAN SEE HOW PATCHY THIS ACTIVITY IS. A FEW BREAKS IN SOME OF THE RAIN THAT’S OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT, AND AGAIN, PRETTY DRY AT THE SURFACE HERE, EVEN THOUGH TEMPERATURES ARE PRETTY CHILLY. BUT YOU SEE THE SHOWERS THAT MAY COME ABOUT. YOU MIGHT GET A LITTLE SPRINKLE OR A LITTLE DRIZZLE OR A BRIEF LITTLE SHOWER FROM TIME TO TIME AS WE GO INTO THE EARLY PART OF THE AFTERNOON HOURS, TEMPERATURES. RIGHT NOW IT’S 39. IN BURLINGTON, 37 GREENSBORO, 38 WINSTON-SALEM THESE ARE THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES WE’VE SEEN SO FAR THIS MORNING. 40S DOWN OVER AREAS OF MOCKSVILLE AND RANDOLPH COUNTY. 230 BACK UP ALONG THE NORTH CAROLINA VIRGINIA BORDER COUNTIES AT THIS HOUR AS WELL. SO TEMPERATURES HAVE FALLEN A LITTLE BIT MORE. AND ACTUALLY DEW POINT TEMPERATURES HAVE FALLEN OFF A LITTLE BIT MORE TOO. SO WHEN YOU’VE GOT THAT BIG EXPANSE BETWEEN AIR TEMPERATURES AND DEW POINTS WHERE WE’RE AT 39 AND DEW POINT TEMPERATURES AT 29, THAT MOISTURE JUST ISN’T QUITE REACHING THE GROUND. A LOT OF THE PIEDMONT, SOME OF YOU MIGHT BE PICKING UP A LITTLE MORE SHOWER ACTIVITY DOWN OVER DAVIDSON AND RANDOLPH COUNTY AT THIS HOUR, BUT EVEN THOSE NUMBERS ARE PRETTY LOW. THIS NORTHEAST FLOW IS GOING TO KEEP US CHILLY TODAY. IT’S GOING TO KEEP THE CLOUDS IN PLAY AND SOME OFF AND ON SHOWERS OR DRIZZLE AS WE GO THROUGH AT LEAST THE EARLY PART OF THE AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES WE PROBABLY ALREADY SEEN OUR HIGH FOR THE DAY. WE MIGHT GET UP TO AROUND 41 AGAIN LATER THIS AFTERNOON. TOMORROW IS LOOKING NICER, LOW 50S AND WE SHOULD GET INTO AROUND THE 30 DEGREE MARK AS WE GET ON INTO AS WE GET INTO TOMORROW MORNING ACROSS THE REGION. SAME THING IN THE FOOTHILLS. WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT CHILLY, DAMP SATURDAY THAT WILL KIND OF SEE OFF AND ON WITH THE PATCHY SHOWERS, A LITTLE BIT SUN FOR SUNDAY, AS I MENTIONED, AND LOOKING AHEAD TO A WARMER WEEK AS WE GET INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF THE WEEK, MAY SEE SOME 60S KELLY DAVE, THANK YOU. WE’RE FOLLOWING DEVELOPMENTS IN AN ALLEGED TERROR PLOT RIGHT HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND FBI SAY THEY’VE ARRESTED AN 18 YEAR-OLD MINT HILL MAN. CHRISTIAN STURDIVANT WAS BROUGHT INTO CUSTODY ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, THE DAY INVESTIGATORS SAY HE PLANNED TO COMMIT JIHAD IN MINT HILL. CHRIS PETERSON HAS MORE ON THE ARREST AND THE INVESTIGATION. HE’S BEEN PLANNING THIS ATTACK FOR ABOUT A YEAR, BUT HE’S BEEN PLANNING AN ATTACK FOR FAR LONGER THAN THAT. IN A news CONFERENCE FRIDAY MORNING, UNITED STATES ATTORNEY RUSS FERGUSON SHARED THAT 18 YEAR OLD CHRISTIAN STURDIVANT FROM MINT HILL STARTED READING ISIS MATERIAL AND VISITING ISIS WEBSITES BEFORE UNKNOWINGLY REACHING OUT TO AN UNDERCOVER NEW YORK CITY POLICE OFFICER. HE THEN MET WITH A SECOND UNDERCOVER AGENT, THIS ONE FROM THE FBI. HE PLEDGED HIS ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS WITH THAT UNDERCOVER AGENT, AND HE DISCLOSED HIS PLANS TO, QUOTE, DO JIHAD SOON. ACCORDING TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, STURDIVANT WANTED TO BECOME A MARTYR FOR ISIS AND WAS PLANNING A MASS CASUALTY ATTACK ON NEW YEAR’S EVE. HE SENT PHOTOS OF HAMMERS AND KNIVES TO THE UNDERCOVER AGENT. HE ALSO SENT A VOICEMAIL PLEDGING HIS ALLEGIANCE TO ISIS. HE TALKED ABOUT WHERE HE WAS PLANNING TO DO THIS ATTACK, WHICH WAS AT A GROCERY STORE AND A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT IN MINT HILL. PLACES THAT WE GO EVERY DAY AND DON’T THINK THAT WE MAY BE HARMED. FERGUSON SHARED THAT A SEARCH WARRANT WAS SERVED ON STURDIVANT’S MINT HILL HOME ON MONDAY, WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT SEIZED ITEMS INCLUDING HAMMERS, KNIVES AND TACTICAL GLOVES. STURDIVANT WAS ARRESTED ON NEW YEAR’S EVE, THE DAY HE PLANNED HIS ATTACK. HE WAS PREPARING FOR JIHAD AND INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE GOING TO DIE. AND WE WERE VERY, VERY FORTUNATE THAT THEY DID NOT. FERGUSON ALSO WANTED TO CALM THE FEARS OF THE PUBLIC DESPITE THE SERIOUS THREAT. THE FACT THAT ALONG THE WAY, IN THIS EXTENSIVE PLANNING OF THIS ATTACK, HE ENCOUNTERED NOT ONE, BUT TWO UNDERCOVER OFFICERS SHOULD MAKE THE PUBLIC FEEL VERY, VERY GOOD AND VERY SAFE. THAT WAS CHRIS PETERSON REPORTING. STURDIVANT IS BEING HELD IN THE GASTON COUNTY JAIL WITHOUT BOND. HE IS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTING TO PROVIDE MATERIAL SUPPORT TO A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. IF CONVICTED, HE COULD RECEIVE A MAXIMUM SENTENCE OF 20 YEARS IN FEDERAL PRISON, GOVERNOR JOSH STEIN SAID IN A SOCIAL MEDIA POST. QUOTE, THANKS TO THE WORK OF THE FBI AND VIGILANT LAW ENFORCEMENT, THIS POTENTIAL ATTACK WAS STOPPED BEFORE ANYONE WAS HURT. I AM GRATEFUL TO THE BRAVE OFFICERS WHO KEEP US SAFE EVERY DAY. IN FORSYTH COUNTY. NOW THAT’S WHERE A DEPUTY IS RECOVERING AFTER SOMEONE FIRED SHOTS INTO A WINSTON-SALEM CHURCH. IT HAPPENED AROUND MIDNIGHT THURSDAY AT MOUNT SINAI. FULL GOSPEL DELIVERANCE CENTER ON MANCHESTER STREET. THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS A BULLET WENT THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR AND GRAZED THE DEPUTY’S HAND. THE DEPUTY WAS WORKING AS AN OFF DUTY SECURITY OFFICER AT THE TIME, AND WAS TREATED AT THE SCENE. NO ONE ELSE WAS HURT AND RIGHT NOW THERE’S NO WORD ON A POSSIBLE SUSPECT. IN GREENSBORO NOW, WHERE A MAN FACES NEW CHARGES IN CONNECTION TO A DOMESTIC DISPUTE. 50 YEAR OLD AVERY ARTIS IS CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE CRIMES, INCLUDING FALSE IMPRISONMENT. THAT’S IN ADDITION TO ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. ASSAULT BY STRANGULATION, AND FIRING A GUN IN CITY LIMITS. AROUND 1030 THURSDAY NIGHT, OFFICERS RESPONDED TO KIRKMAN STREET FOR REPORTS OF A MAN SHOOTING AT A WOMAN. POLICE SAY WHE
