A 17-year-old mother is on life support after she was shot in what authorities call a road rage incident. Jeff Palermo has the story…

Cut 1 (35) “…I’m Jeff Palermo.”

A sad end to the search for a 12-year-old New Orleans boy. The United Cajun Navy found the body of Bryan Vasquez in a lagoon near his home. Bryan was a nonverbal autistic boy who disappeared from his home August 14th when he climbed out of a bedroom window.

As cleanup efforts continue in Tangipahoa Parish from the chemical plant explosion in Roseland, there are concerns over the environmental impact of the incident. Dr. Rustin Reed, an environmental expert at Tulane University, says even though the current estimated concentration level of pollutants is low, those in vulnerable groups should take extra precautions for the time being.

Cut 13 (12)  “…someone may have.”

Reed says when driving, the filter inside of your vehicle will only go so far in protecting you from harmful emissions from an explosion like the one from Friday afternoon.

Cut 14 (08) “…gases or vapors.”

The fire, meanwhile, is nearly fully contained, and Smitty’s Supply says it will rebuild.
