Let's get started with some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room. The start of a temporary ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages taken by Hamas has been pushed back. They were expected to start today, but ABC seor Dana Miller says a senior Israeli
official says it's not going to happen before tomorrow.

The Foreign Ministry of Qatar says negotiators are still working to create the appropriate conditions for the ceasefire and swap. The FBI is investigating the explosion of a car at
the US Canada border near Niagara Falls. New York Governor Kathy Hockel says the car crashed into a security ber a booth yesterday at the Rainbow Bridge checkpoint. You actually had to look at it say was this generated by AI because it was so surreal to see how high in the air this vehicle went, and then the crash and the explosion and the fire. Hocal says two people were
killed in the crash, including a person from Western New York. She says she wants to make it clear to people there is no indication of a terrorist attack. A driver's been arrested in Woodland Hills after a short police chase that ended with a pedestrian being hit. The person was in the crosswalk last night at Victory and Topanga Canyon Boulevards when they were hit. They were taken to the hospital in stable condition. More than five hundred nurses at West Hills Hospital
have walked off the job, demanding better working conditions. The nurses claim the hospital is understaffed and that the nurse to patient ratio has created a crisis affecting both patients and workers. Chief Nursing Officer and Nett Greenwood says the hospital will remain open to ensure patients are cared for during the strike. No one cares for our nurses more than we do. We find the strike absolutely unnecessary. We've been at the bargaining table so may and have a strong offer on the
table. The nurses hit picket lines yesterday demanding a safer working environment and recognition for their labor. The union says it will be striking through Monday. Chris Adler KFI News. The Drumstick Dash is kickstarting the holiday in North Hollywood. Organizers say it's the biggest Thanksgiving Day run in La County, with more than
seventy five hundred people expected to participate this morning. It benefits Hope the Mission, a nonprofit which seeks to prevent, reduce, and eliminate poverty, hunger,
and homelessness. The run starts at eight thirty. It is five oh seven, and of course it's Thanksgiving morning, and maybe you've planned to make a big Thanksgiving dinner, but now you don't feel very well, or maybe you just don't feel like it. Well, you can still have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner without the cooking part, thanks to our friends at tali Ran. And I know that at KFI we get tally Ran for all the working staff
every year and it's a highlight and a special treat. And so we wanted to come down to Tallyrand and take a look around and see the business that they are doing today and it's gangbusters. So with us we have one of the owners of tally Ran. It's Karen Ross. Good morning, Karen, Good morning Amy, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving to you. Tell me how busy are you guys going to be? Well, we hope to be very busy. We've got reservations for three hundred plus people. We're ready to do
about you know, eight hundred dinners to go. We're prepared, We've got a good crew ready to work for it. We're ready, okay. And how much food? Like pound wise, give us some of the numbers of how much you're going to serve in on this Thanksgiving. So my brother Mark is the orchestrator of all food Itali Rand and we're he's right over there. We're doing about three thousand pounds of turkey. We're doing about nine hundred pounds
of potatoes that we are peeling here cooling. We have about two hundred gallons of graving made from scratch, stuff being made from scratch. So it's just a it is a labor of love, one hundred percent. And what are your hours on Thanksgiving Day? Ten thirty am to seven thirty pm. And if you don't have a reservation, you don't want to even you don't want to deal with having food at your house at all. You want to come down and just have a nice meal. Do you take walk ups? We
certainly take walk ups. Come on in any time between ten thirty and seven thirty you can order to go, hop in line, grab a seed here. We will accommodate all. Just bring your patients with you, Yeah, because there's going to be a line like we were talking about earlier for people coming in to order and take the turkey dinners home. They're going to start lining up early. Right last year, they were here at six thirty am to take it. So bring some coffee and like you said, pack your
patients. And the beauty of it is, it's going to be a nice day. It's going to be you know, sixties and seventies, so it's not like we're going to be standing out in the cold and the rain and tell us what we get with our turkey dinner. We're going to take a look right now. So the Turkey dinner comes with obviously your turkey, white, white and dark meat, mixed stuffing, homemade mashed potatoes, gravy. We'll include yams and our fresh sour dough bread and pumpkin pie. And I
can speak from an experience, it's delicious. Any final Thanksgiving thoughts today, we're just worth thankful. We're thankful for the mcginni of Burbank, for KFI. We'll take care of. If you're looking for a place to come, we got you. Just pack your patience, come on in and have a good time with us, all right, and enjoy that Thanksgiving meal. Thank you so much, Karen rouss Yum yum, yum. And uh, we're
going to be digging into the tally Ran. In fact, we are going to be using the tally Ran Thanksgiving to get you ready for the day after Thanksgiving today. If you will recall Nick and I were talking about this a few weeks ago that Du Giorno came out with a Thanksgiving pizza and they had
very limited numbers available. They were going to be available starting at nine am on Wednesday's leading up to Thanksgiving, and we tried like the Dickens to get one of those things, but all three weeks, yeah, we couldn't. And I said, you know what, if we can't get one, we're
going to make one. So that's what we're doing today. So that's that's one of two things we're doing so Thanksgiving pizza, and we're going to walk you through it, but it's basically, we got Bubbally pizza crust, Right, We're gonna put down gravy and then turkey and stuffing and mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce and we're gonna and then we're gonna top it all with cheese, right, and we're gonna bake that and we'll be putting it out on Instagram
so you can take a look at that. And then we also have another really cool thing that Nick found somewhere in the social social media realms. Yeah, and what's that one? So that one's going to be the stuffing waffle leftovers. So stuffing waffle like open faced sandwich that has you take the stuffing leftover from Thanksgiving put it in a waffle iron and make a nice crispy waffle and then top with all the goodies from Thanksgiving. So it's sort of like
the stuffing becomes the bread for the sandwal and it's can't wait. And then the other thing that Nick brought all this food because he's like, it's Thanksgiving, we have to eat. Yeah, so you brought scones and muffins, and then what's that deliciousness? I'm made Thanksgiving manicotti. So it's going to be everything that normally would be in your Thanksgiving meal, turkey, stuffing or
no stuffing. I got turkey, cranberry sauce, pumpkin, ricotta, cheese, Like it's a whole nine, and we'll definitely put that out on socials as well. Oh after I eat it, right, it smest. I brought my right now. I brought my oatmeal, which I have every morning, and it's sitting over there getting cold because I'm like, I'm having mannicotti. Let's get that right now. So we're going to be we'll show you that because Nick's going to start putting those things together, and we'll show you
that later in the hour and talk a little bit more about that. But right now let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom.

Drivers yesterday face delays of one and a half to two hours. The crash involved a semi truck that'spilled debris across all

And I did check the countra cans in the area and everything's fine, So I definitely, like you said, I've gotten a lot of heads up on it, and yeah, everything is good for you to head out for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Fork Reporter. He's taking over the Handle Show and talking turkey. He'll be answering all your questions for cooking your Thanksgiving feast. You know some people get excited for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Me, I'm more about the dogs and the National Dog Show is today. Thrilled this morning to be talking to one of the hosts of the show. Actor, comedian, author, game show host, TV personality known for his portrayal of Jay peterman On. Seinfeld
also the sixth host of Family Feud and Boy Can This Man Dance? He won Dancing with the Stars. Please welcome John O'Hurley to the show. Good morning, how are you. I am fabulous and so excited to be talking to you today because, as I just mentioned, I love watching the National Dog Show every Thanksgiving, and you're one of the hosts of it. So tell us, like, what's so great about the National Dog Show that people should tune in this year. It celebrates the wonderful, wonderful qualities that dogs
bring to our lives. And you know, if you have ten people on an elevator and you walk in with the dog, everybody's head turns and looks at the dog. There's something wonderfully, wonderfully attractive about the presence of dogs in our lives. And we're lucky enough to have two thousand of the best dogs in the country, representing two hundred different breeds, on the greatest family day of the year. And it's wonderful to be able to present this show
and celebrate the rich history of dog breeding. I love that. So you said there's two thousand dogs that participate, how many do we actually see because we don't see each and every category, right, you will see the winners. It's a kind of a process of elimination during the day. By the time we get to the show on television, all of the breeds have been judged. Now the breeds are all separated into them different groups, So the
groups are what you're going to be seeing the winners of those. And I know, I love it when it comes along when the groups come out and I go, oh, that's like the sporting group. That's my favorite one. And then the next group comes out and I go, no, wait, that's my favorite group. They're all so fun inspectation. And then when the little toys come out there, everybody enjoys that so much because they're just the little miniature version of their larger cousins. Yeah. Do you have any
favorites? John? Personal favorite draw? My favorite show dog is always the Irish Center And I'll tell you why. When it comes into the ring and it makes its initial run around the arena, all the heads it's against the blue rug, that auburn hair, and that very kind of strong, athletic erect look as they come in and it looks like the redhead that just ran into the cocktail party. Every head, every head turns and it's just you can't help but notice, beautiful dog. Same with the same with the Afghan
I think it gets the same sort of attraction. Okay, and what's your been your biggest surprise hosting the show? Uh? Well, I would say the number of breeds and the variety of breeds, because every every breed has a rich history to why they were, why they're there. Dogs were never dogs were up really companions or pets back as as men evolved. They they were necessary for man to survive. They were hunters, they were ratters.
I missed those healthy in days of ratting. And but they they were footwarmers. You know, there were so many different varieties of things that they did, but they had a function and they were bred for that function. So it's like the terriers there, you know, they were they were supposed to go down little little vermin holes and pull out the vermin and uh and they had their little tails at the end that you pulled the tail on, they
pulled the dog out. That's so funny. But every yeah, everything, I mean every everything had it adding uh a function and that's so that's what they're celebrating today, the rich history of greeting. Yeah. So when the dogs aren't in the spotlight, John, are they regular pets or are they just kind of constantly pampered dogs being dogs? Every one of yeah, every one of them has uh, has has spilled or had an accident on the
floor somewhere. You know, it's they're just dogs being dogs. But you know it's even funnier is during during the dog show, people will send us photos and uh and videos of their dog watching the show. And it's very
funny to watch a dog watching television. Uh. There's one in particular that I loved when the dog is sitting on the sofa watching the large screen TV, jumps down onto the ground, walk silver to the television and start snipping the screen, wondering why the dog is reacting, and then walks around to the back of the television because he knows that's where the dog is. Dogs are so cool. Do you have dogs, John? I have three.
I have a little Havanie, which is a dog like kind of like a Maltese, a smaller dog, and then two rescues two that I have as well. So we support book. We support both worlds, the world of the pure Bread and also the rescues of the shelters. They can't be ignored either, absolutely, And when can we watch the National Dog Show twelve till two every time zone. You're going to see it all across the country during the day following the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and right before football, so it's
dogs until two. Don't touch that remote. I love it. Thank you so much, John O'Hurley. Appreciate you taking the time to talk to It's wonderful to talk to you. I'm so going to be on the couch watching that. I love, love, love the Dog Show. I used to
have a dog. I can only have cats now. I don't think Katchooser would be as entertaining just me. Anyway, when we come back, we are going to get an up close look at a display at the California Science Center that has literally been out of this world and you can see it for yourself. Right now. We want to tell you, though, here's something we're very thankful for, and that is for everybody who has participated in the

Yesterday, President Biden and his family are spending Thanksgiving on Nantucket
Island off Cape Cod. He's going to be talking with US military service members today and then tomorrow the President's going to visit downtown Nantucket for the annual tree lighting ceremony. He's done that the past couple of years. At six oh five. Instead of handle on the news, we have our fork reporter Neil Sevader is going to be talking Turkey and answering all your Turkey preparation questions.
Should be a lot of fun and informational as well. You know, we went out and about to the California Science Center recently to see something that is truly remarkable. It's a real life spacecraft. It's a space shuttle. It's on display now, but it's going away to make room for a new exhibit. So let's welcome Jeffrey Rudolph, the CEO and president of the California Science Center. Thank you Amy. It's the Space Shuttle Endeavor. It is twenty
five missions in space. It shows it. It's wonderful to an amazing craft that both the spacecraft and then a glider when it lands back on Earth. We've been thrilled to have it here for about eleven years now. I remember when it got here. It flew over my house and it was flying over the Griffith Park Observatory and I was like, that is the most incredible thing
ever. And then we came down here to see it. This is the orbiter, which is the part that the astronauts to be on and the payloads would be on, and it would go into space for usually about two weeks, off into the space station some missions before that, and then come back to Earth and land on the runway at Kidney Space Center and prepare for another mission, which is an amazing feat in and of itself. So how big
is this that? Oh, it's about one hundred and twenty plus feet long, about seventy eight feet wide and about sixty feet tall, which was quite a trick to move it through the city of la I know we watched it. We all watched it, Okay, so we want to take a closer look too, because the intense heat that this thing has to endure to come in and go out of the atmosphere is just incredible. And the entire thing
is covered with all these little squares right. These are what it's called the thermal protection system, and these tiles are all made to prevent heat from destroying the spacecraft. And yet they need to be lightweight because the trick on space
travel is that every pound to orbit takes an enormous amount of energy. I'm thinking about eight pounds of fuel for every pound you take into orbit, which is why you have that massive external fuel tank that's on the back and those solid rocket boosters that all together will launch this into space and go from zero to seventeen hundred miles an hour in eight minutes. That's so cool. So okay, Jeffrey, how did you get the space Shuttle? There was a
big national competition. We actually thought about it when we did the master plan for the California Science Center in the early nineteen nineties and said, what are some big things we'd want in our future science center, and we knew we were going to do an aerran space thing. We said, someday they're going
to retire the space shuttles and we should try to get one. And we said, I love that we should try to get one, and when we do, we should put in launch position because this the orbiter, couldn't go into space by itself. The whole story is about the enormous energy it takes to go into space and what a complex business it is to get people or things into space. So we said we should show the whole stack, and that in fact is what we're doing. Okay, And so a new book
brings us to why we're here today. One because this display, the shuttle as it is now, is only going to be on display until the end of the year. That's true. This exhibit, which is the temper exhibit of Endeavor, the Samulotion pavilion, will close December thirty first this year, twenty twenty three. It will close to make it possible for us to move Endeavor and the solid rocket boosters and the external tank into the new Samulotion there
in Space Center, which is now in construction. Right, And you've got like the base of it is pretty much done. So you're like, okay, that's pretty good. You move the rocket the rocket motors over which we saw them going through the streets of la not too long ago. That was super exciting, and so you're going to take this out of the building, move it over there, and stand everything upright. We put the solid rocket boosters in first, then we put the external tank, and then we put
in devor because they all attached that way. We've already put in well, it's called the aft skirts, which is the very bottom piece of the solid rocket boosters. They are vital because they're the only thing on this whole thing when it goes to launch that attached to the launcher pad. Okay, And we have those attached to our seismic isolation pad so that in the event of a big earthquake endeavor, we'll move independently the building and be safe. Very
high tech, okay. And it's going to stand up. So it's going to close. We're not going to see it for a few years. We don't know yet when the upright exhibit is going to open. Guesstimate. Yeah, we're going to put it in this early next year, and then the rest of the building. Will take about another year and a half to complete the building, and then we're going to put in the exhibits. We've got aviation gallery, space gallery. We're looking at were putting in the four fifty
feet of a seven forty seven. We've got other spacecraft got from the past, the Mercury, Gemin Apollo, we have a SpaceX Dragon, we'll have a robotic spaceflight that have gone to the outer planets. We'll look at so a lot of stuff going in and that will take us some time after that. So we're looking about three to four years. And this is Jeffrey's baby, like he is the guy behind. This has got to be so exciting for you. So what's exciting for you right now is that it's time to
come and see the Space Shuttle in its current position. It is spectacular and it's here until the end of this year. Thank you so much, Jeffrey Rudolph, Thank you Amy. Okay, and if you want to go to the California Science Center again, the display is going until the end of December. And they're already making the transition. The rocket motors are already in the upright position. They're going to be putting the external fuel tank in the upright
position, and then again moving the shuttle endeavor over after that. So really a cool thing to see if you haven't gone to see that, highly highly recommend it. Let's get back to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. The theft of dogs worth more than one hundred thousand dollars from a pet store in Guardina has some animal animal advocates questioning the owner. Four masked men broke into the Top Dog Pet shop early Tuesday morning,
nabbing a dozen French bulld dogs left in the store overnight. Founder of the Animal Rescue Mission, Shira Scott says nobody should be breeding Frenchies because they're a man made breed with major health issues. I hope that the people who stole the dogs are caught. I hope that this breeder is shut down, and I hope those dogs, you know, go to rescues. The owner of the store says he's a licensed breeder and normally takes all the dogs home
with him, but left the dogs at the store that one night. Chris Sadler KFI News News brought to you by Ruder Hero, The Governor of Kentucky has declared a state of emergency following a train derailment that led to a chemical spill. That CSX train derailment happened in a remote part of Rockcastle County, Kentucky, between mull And Station and Livingston. Fifteen cars off the track,
including two that's spilled carrying sulfur ABC. Sandy Field says an area a half mile around the spill site was evacuated yesterday and parts of Kentucky's US twenty five were closed. One crew member was traded for minor injuries. Google Maps is rolling out new features in the next few weeks to help people decide when to travel during the holidays. The company says it'll give real time trip estimates and ahead of time trip times for the best time to travel on the roadways.
It says for Thanksgiving today, the best bet is to travel before noon or after four. So I guess we're all eating about two again. Thankful for Kono and for Michelle Cube sitting in for producer, and appreciate your efforts this morning. As always, here's what we're following in the KFI twenty four hour
newsroom. The New York Police Department says there is no credible threat to today's ninety seventh annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, and has confirmed there's no connection between New York City and yesterday's deadly vehicle crash and explosion near the Canadian border in Niagara Falls. Israel says the release of hostages held by Hamas and prisoners held by Israel will now happen on Friday. A four day ceasefire that was supposed
to to start today has apparently hit a snag and was delayed. Under the deal, Israel will release three Palestinian prisoners for each of the fifty hostages released. Hundreds of AID trucks will also be allowed into the Gaza Strip as part of the agreements, like three hundred trucks a day. Darryl Hall can't go for that any longer. The seventy seven year old singer has filed a lawsuit and requested a restraining order against his former music partner John Oates. Apparently he
doesn't want to be one on one with his old partner any longer. I loved Haul and Oates music. We're just minutes away from Handle on the news this morning, but you know what, we're not having Handle on the news this morning because we have the Fork reporter in and there he is given an old fist pump. He's going to be answering all of your turkey questions and other questions that you might have about your feast preparations. So I hope you'll
stick around for that. And if you're not cooking, it's still going to be entertaining. I can't wait to hear some of the questions. You know, there's going to be some funny ones. We are. We told you we're we're doing a little preparation of our own. Nico Pouliochini's in studio with us all day this morning, and we decided, since we couldn't get our hands on one of those du journal pizzas that we told you about they wanted, they made a Thanksgiving pizza and it was a limited edition. We tried
every week. No luck did, no luck. And Nick is really good about that stuff, man, he was as soon as they went up at nine o'clock, he texted me and go, yep, sold out already. Yeah, thirty seconds or less each time. So we made our own and I will tell you it's it's baking and it looks delicious. We don't know if it's going to taste good, but we have our Thanksgiving pizza in the
oven. We used Bubbuly Bread for the pizza crust, and then used turkey instead of like pepperoni, and stuffing and mashed potatoes, and then the sauce instead of you know, a pizza sauce, we used the gravy and then we covered it all in cheese. And if it's covered in cheese, it's got to be good. So we're gonna we'll be posting about it on Instagram and let you know how it turns out. And thank you very much to the fork reporter who saved us for our next item that we're gonna be made.
Oh really, that's right, because we're going to make stuffing sandwiches out of the waffle So you're going to use stuffing that is from Tallyran that we're going to put into the waffle iron and get that nice and crispy and then top that kind of like we're doing with the break or the breakfast pizza.
Sure, I guess it is breakfast pizza for us right now, but Thanksgiving pizza for your leftovers, and the stuffing will be there as well, so we'll be able to kind of do the similar thing, but we'll be making a sandwich out of that instead of just doing the open face thing. Yeah, and it is Thanksgiving. There's lots of stuff going on in the world. We're going to keep you up to date on that, but we're also going to light it up a little bit because here's something, hopefully to make
you smile if you have to be up this early on Thanksgiving morning. I got jokes? She does? Let me tell you. Okay, how does Thanksgiving always end? I don't know. How does it always end with a g? Oh? No, I didn't even smile? Conor? Can I get a rim shot? Okay? How are Thanksgiving and Halloween alike? I don't know. How are with Thanksgiving and Halloween alike? They both they both have goblins. Still, no smile from Kno, When does Christmas come before
Thanksgiving? I don't know when in the dictionary? This might be my favorite. I know they're all bad, but that's okay. I love bad jokes. Uh. What did one turkey say to the other when they saw the pilgrims arrive? I don't know what do they say? Well, they look nice? Maybe they'll have us over for dinner. Well done, Amy, I like it, I think way. I cannot wait for your sound up set. I'll be here all morning. Yeah, I love it, Actually I will. And like we said, Neil's coming in in just a minute.
Oh, I want to give you an update on something. You know that Disney You know that Nick is a big Disney fan. I'm a big Disney fan, and Walt Disney had said that things are always going to be changing at Disneyland, and they are and they continue to. Like the treehouse that was Tarzan's tree House that before that was the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse, it's back to the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse. And oh, look, Neil's in the building. Hey, Neil, he's ready to He's ready to answer
your questions. So here's the latest thing that we just found out that that's changing. The library, the Beauty and the Beast Library is closing at Disney California Adventure. Now, this is one of the things that one of the things I love about Disneyland is they have like little secret places. And this is over on the in Hollywood Land. And what is it in in the
Animation Studios building in Hollywoodland. Okay, in the animation studios, and in that area you can go in and you see these big screens and they have all this cool animation and they show it like from the rough sketches to the final finished product and then talked back behind there is the Library of Beast and it's like this really cool place and the colors change and there's some interactive activities and it's just really a cool kind of like I said, it's like a
secret location and it's going away. So if you're going to Disneyland, December tenth is the last day that it's going to be open. They're going to reimagine it and open it as something else. But it's one of my favorite little secret spots in Disneyland. So if you get a chance, December tenth is your last chance. Yeah, it's really fun. It's a really good experience. And you know, I don't know if Amy said it, because I was busied with a pizza, but he's got his prioritiz Yeah, I
was like, you know what I'm doing here. But it's so fun because it helps you with a little interaction there. It tells you what character you're going to be. Yes, it's in the book, so that's it's Beasts Library, and that's the special thing behind it is you go through and answer questions and you read through the library, and then it tells you what Disney character you're like. And I will tell you it's not always the same,
because one time I was Sally from Cars. I went, yeah, that's me, and then another time it was some random character that doesn't seem like me. But it's still it's a fun thing, and it's like a quiet place in Disneyland, which there's not a lot of those, so it's just kind of a nice place to get out of the sun and get out of the noise, and it's really cool. Okay, let's get back to some
of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. And I must tell you the studio is starting and smell really good with our Thanksgiving pizza. A massive counterfeit operation has been found inside a high end loft in downtowna LA. Sources close to the case tell me this was a sophisticated operation and during the raid on Tuesday morning, investigators with the La County Sheriff's Department and
Homeland Security Investigations recovered blank templates of social Security cards. Driver licenses and credit cards, including stacks of the American Express Black Centurion card. They said the high end printer actually produced holograms used on IDs. Three men were arrested on seeing and investigators say they also seized an unregistered firearm. It's not clear if this operation is part of a larger crime syndicate. Steve Gregory kaya Fie News.
The LAPD says it has arrested a guy in North Hills who killed a man from Guatemala. Investigators say they were suspicious after getting conflicting stories about a report of a missing man back in June. Eventually, detectives focused on Russell Robinson, who detectives say killed then buried Carlos da Leone. On Tuesday afternoon, investigators found daily One's remains buried under a shed in Robinson's backyard. A
motive is known, but investigators aren't willing to reveal it just yet. Robinson's in jail on two million dollars bail. The FEDS are investigating a car explosion at the US Canada border near Niagara Falls. There is no evidence at this time that this was a terrorist activity, and that's what I want to make very clear to the public. New York Governor Kathy Hockel says informing people the
crash was not related to terrorist activity was her top priority. She says she knows everyone's on edge based on what's happening in other parts of the world. Two people were killed yesterday when the car went airborne, crashed into a border security booth, caught fire, and exploded. The FBI says the man accused of shooting of a shooting inside a Walmart store in Ohio may have been at least partly inspired by violent racist ideology. Investigators say the conclusion is based on
collected evidence, including journal writings. ABC's Alex Perez says the shooting happened Monday, Polis. A man walked right into this Dayton area Walmart with a long gun, granted shoppers taking cover, calling nine one one. Four people were hurt, three of them critically. The shooter killed himself.
