<p>WAS SHOT AND KILLED WITH HIS COUSINS AND SISTER IN THE VEHICLE. &gt;&gt; ALRIGHT, TURNING TO ANOTHER STORY. LET'S TAKE A LIVE LOOK IN RALEIGH, WHERE TONIGHT A NEW POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE IS WAGING WAR ON CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO ARE RUNNING FOR REELECTION NEXT MONTH. THE GROUP CLAIMS INCUMBENTS ARE ALLOWING DEVELOPERS TO DESTROY NEIGHBORHOODS OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES AND BYPASS PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE MATT TALHELM JOINS US LIVE OUTSIDE THE RALEIGH MUNICIPAL BUILDING DOWNTOWN WHERE THAT GROUP IS PLANNING A PROTEST IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS. MATH. &gt;&gt; YET, LENA, SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THAT SAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS GROUP ARE SIGNED TO SPEAK UP INSIDE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS HERE WITH THAT MEETING AT 7 O'CLOCK. &gt;&gt; THIS IS A GROUP THAT STARTED OUT OF THE HAYES BARTON NEIGHBORHOOD AND NOW IT IS PUSHING A CAMPAIGN TO CHANGE WHO SITS INSIDE ON THOSE CITY COUNCIL SEATS. &gt;&gt; THE MESSAGE ON THIS YARD SIGN IS SPREADING FROM ONE STREET CORNER IN HAYES, BARTON THERE ALL OVER THE NEIGHBORHOOD. NOW, FRANK, I WAS ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE FOR SAVE OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, RESTORE RALEIGH, ZONING, THE GRASSROOTS GROUP FORMED IN RESPONSE TO A DEVELOPER'S PLAN TO TEAR DOWN THIS MANSION IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND REPLACE IT WITH 17 LUXURY TOWNHOMES. I REFER TO THIS PROJECT AS THE CANARY IN THE COAL MINE. IT WOKE US UP. &gt;&gt; AND AND IS NOW WAKING UP OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS IN THE CITY. THEY BROUGHT THOSE YELLOW SIGNS TO A RALLY OUTSIDE RALEIGH'S MUNICIPAL BUILDING LAST MONTH AND PACKED CITY COUNCIL'S MEETING INSIDE. NOW THEY FORMED A POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE TO REPLACE RALEIGH CITY COUNSELORS. THEY HAVE DECLARED WAR ON SINGLE-FAMILY NEIGHBORHOODS. &gt;&gt; WE ARE DECLARING WAR ON CITY COUNCIL. THIS POLITICAL BATTLE IS BREWING OVER MISSING MIDDLE TAX CHANGES. CITY COUNCIL APPROVED IN 2 PHASES OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS. MISSING. MIDDLE REFERS TO TYPES OF HOUSING BETWEEN A SINGLE-FAMILY HOME AND A LARGE APARTMENT COMPLEX. THE CHANGES ALLOW DUPLEXES TOWNHOMES AND SMALL APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN MORE NEIGHBORHOODS AND ON SMALLER, LOTS ACROSS RALEIGH WITHOUT HAVING TO GO THROUGH A PUBLIC REZONING PROCESS. IF YOU CAN BUILD ON. FREETOWN HOMES INSTEAD OF ONE HOME, WE HAVE NOW HOUSE 3 FAMILIES. &gt;&gt; IF YOU CAN BUILD A DUPLEX. WE'VE HAS 2 FAMILIES INSTEAD OF WANTING TO MAKE MANSION. &gt;&gt; MAYOR MARY-ANN BALDWIN SUPPORTS THE MISSING MIDDLE CHANGES AS A WAY TO INCREASE THE SUPPLY OF HOUSING. SHE SAYS IT'S SOMETHING THE PREVIOUS COUNCIL FAILED TO ADDRESS. THEY TRIED TO STOP GROWTH. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS STOPPING GROWTH. PEOPLE ARE COMING HERE THAT GROWTH IS NOW GIVING THIS COUNCIL A CHALLENGE ON ELECTION DAY. THE CITIZENS DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR THEIR ZONE. AND THE ONLY WAY TO TO ADDRESS IT IS THROUGH THE BALLOT BOX. AND ALL OF THE CITY COUNCILORS RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION NEXT MONTH SUPPORTED THE FIRST ROUND OF THOSE MISSING MIDDLE CHANGES. &gt;&gt; ONLY COUNSELOR DAVID NIGHT VOTED AGAINST WHAT WAS CALLED MISSING. MIDDLE 2 POINT. OH, THIS PAST YEAR, THE CITY COUNCILORS SAID THIS IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD GROUP SAYS THEY PLAN TO BE AT EVERYONE IN THE CITY COUNCIL MEETINGS, AT LEAST THROUGH THE ELECTION UNTIL THESE MISSING MIDDLE CHANGES</p>

Hi, everyone. Happy Thursday, meteorologist, Anthony Bag Leone here in the WRL SE Weather center, we are on track to see a really nice day if you like temperatures close to normal sunshine. No rainfall expected for us today. Although we could use a little bit more. It is a little bit dry. Our latest drought monitor is showing that across most of the viewing area. We go to 74 though this afternoon, it'll come with a lot of sunshine, maybe some clouds floating on by. But other than that really no big problems for you today. A pretty normal stretch for this the next couple of days or normal 75 below that tomorrow. But close enough, we get to 81 on Sunday, 86 on Monday and then that continues into next week. That will be our weather story next week is definitely some warmer weather and pretty calm with minimal rain chances. Tuesday is really the only chance I have at this point. We of course, have the Durham Bulls though playing at home Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Even into Sunday, we have Dollar dog night bark at the park tonight. I think it's gonna be probably pretty packed temperatures at 71 upper sixties tomorrow. 72 on Saturday, zero rain chances for any of those games. So it's gonna be a really, I think probably busy time at the DB A here into the weekend. 68 for Brugal. Also happening tomorrow as you're headed out there 67 at seven o'clock, sixties for the majority of that forecast looks like, probably partly to mostly cloudy skies. Saturday. Very similar. Just a couple degrees warmer at 74 at four o'clock and then still 78 at eight o'clock in the evening, we head over the next seven. You see temperatures really not moving too much. The next couple of days we get to Monday. That's when we start to climb 8688 on Tuesday and Tuesday during the afternoon into Tuesday evening. That's when we could see a few areas of rain. It doesn't look like a big system right now. But when we have no other chances in the forecast, that's at least the only one that we are watching right now and still warm there into Wednesday at 87.

Brian Shrader flies over the site of a plane crash at Raleigh-Durham International Airport approximately three hours after the accident.

Seen some activity just in the past 10 minutes or so. I want to take you outside Sky five right now for a live look at the scene. We saw a van being escorted to the runway there and someone got out and now there appears to be a really careful inspection of the debris going on. So we're working to confirm if that may be the NTSB investigation team arriving at the scene. Let's zoom out and give you some about where this is. There are two main runways at RDU International and this is in the grassy field next to the runway that mostly serves terminal one on the east side of the airport, that runway remains closed while this investigation continues at the top of your screen. That is the other main runway that serves terminal two, mostly that runway is open. So we have two things going on here that could affect your flights for the rest of the day and maybe even into tomorrow, the airport takeoff and landing capacity is roughly reduced by half because they are only working with one runway. And if you have a flight coming out of terminal one, maybe Southwest, you're going to have to take that crossover all the way out to that other runway. It's going to add a lot of extra time.

A UNC Health physician and pilot were taken to the hospital Wednesday after a small plane crashed at Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU).

RDU Airport Authority gives an update on a plane crash that sent a physician and pilot to the hospital. The crash occurred Wednesday morning on a flight that took off from Wilmington.

<p>Landguth first, I want to extend my thoughts to those affected by this morning's aircraft accident and thank our first responders for their quick action to respond. The airport authority and its mutual aid partners responded to an aircraft accident at RDU involving a general aviation aircraft. The accident occurred at approximately 10:10 a.m. in the grass next to runway five, right 23 left. The flight was arriving from Wilmington, North Carolina. The A the aircraft is owned by medical Air Inc and operated by UN C air operations. The aircraft had two people on board, one pilot and one passenger. Both were transported to area hospitals. The federal A Bush administration issued a ground stop that was lifted at approximately 1130 this morning. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have both been notified. The National Transportation Safety Board is en route and expected to arrive within the next hour at which time we will conduct an accident investigation. Rdu's runway five left 23 right reopened to departing and arriving aircraft around 11:30 a.m. this morning. Are you experiencing approximately 70 delays and several arriving flights were diverted to other airports? Until ground stock was lifted, travelers should contact their airline for the latest updates regarding the flight status. And of course questions about the identity and condition of the pilot and passenger should be directed to UN C health. And at this time I'll try to answer any questions. You may have, uh, the one, any other accidents in, in the past. I'm not familiar with any other accidents have occurred with that operation. I don't know, uh, that's the role of the National Transportation Safety Board. They'll actually come in and do the investigation. Uh, and at some point in the future, they write up a report and determine what the cause of the accident was. You know, that there was no notification to the airport authority or to the FAA uh about any type of emergency on board. Do we have a guy? We don't, all we know that we've got them out of the airplane and we've got them transported to local hospitals. We know situations like this and delays have a ripple effect on, you know, flights. Do you have any idea what type of impact we'll see here in our view and for not sure, but what we're going to encourage everybody to do is reach out to your airlines. We'll be able to give you real time information about the impact of your particular flight. Ok. I believe some of them went to Greensboro and I think a couple went to Charlotte as well. What, what to be impacted due to the NTSD. Say that one more time at this point in time, what we call the west side of our airport is now open the investigation they'll conduct will all be on the east side. So at this point, we are anticipating normal operations returning to normal operations from this point forward. I don't think that anything that they're doing regarding the investigation or where they would have to investigate would have any impact to the west side of the airport. No, the aircraft is still on the airfield itself. It's on the east side of the field. So terminal one that runways the east side of the field, that's where the debris field actually sits, the west side of the field is open and operational and safe to operate. Not that I'm aware of in operations for you throughout this event today. What was your main concern concerning the passengers that were in the internals? Right. I think our primary focus when, when that accident occurred were the two people sitting in that aircraft? Our primary mission is to make sure we can get to them and try to rescue them and try to make sure that we can get them in a safe condition as fast as we possibly can. Uh secondarily is trying to figure out then how we recover and get our operations back up and running. Mhm. How does that affect? What goes on term? Yeah, so great. Question. So the team has figured out a way to get all the aircraft they're gonna operate at terminal one. Your Southwest develops. Uh We've got a crossover taxi way that we can actually get them through our general aviation aircraft. We've got a crossover taxiway, we can get them to. But the rest of the uh accident scene is actually kind of isolated and closed and locked off. Yeah, you're terminal one at this point in time. Once they can get back on their schedule, it's going to be a normal operations. All right. Thank you guys. All right. Thank you. Grab your phone, right.</p>
