SHAUN: WELCOME BACK. HERE IS A LOOK AT SOME OF THE TOP STORIES WE ARE FOLLOWING FOR YOU. SULA: MAYOR LATOYA CANTRELL IS DEFENDING HER DECISION TO LOWER THE THRESHOLD FOR SPEED CAMERAS IN SCHOOL ZONES, WITH NO WARNING TO THE PUBLIC. IN FEBRUARY THE TRIGGERS FOR THE CAMERAS IN NEW ORLEANS WERE LOWERED FROM 26 MILES PER HOUR TO 24 MILES PER THE SPEED LIMIT HOUR. IN SCHOOL ZONES IS 20 MILES PER HOUR. CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SAID THOSE DRIVERS WHO HAVE GOTTEN TICKETS SHOULD BE FORGIVEN, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT WARNED ABOUT THE CHANGE, BUT THE MAYOR’S ADMINISTRATORS SAID THAT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. SHAUN: AND AUTHORITIES ARE INVESTIGATING HOW A TRUCK CRASHED INTO A MCDONALDS IN NEW ORLEANS EAST. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE TRUCK WAS STOLEN BY KIDS IN ST. BERNARD PARISH. THEY HAVE ARRESTED A 15-YEAR-OLD . THEY ARE ALSO LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHILD INVOLVED IN THE CRASH, AND THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE IS ALSO LOOKING FOR A MAN, A SUSPECT, THIS GUY HERE, WHO IS BELIEVED TO BE INVOLVED IN A STOLEN VEHICLE RING WITH THE TEENS.
