1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: This is w b Z at Boston's news radio, redefining local.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: News forty one degrees in Boston at four o'clock. Good afternoon,

3
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm Suzanne Sausville. Here's what's happening. Attorney General Pam bondis

4
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: there will be justice following the death of one of

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: the National Guard members shot in the nation's capital on Wednesday.

6
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: ABC's Stephen Portnoy with the latest.

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: For now, authorities have said they intend to charge the

8
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 3: suspect with first degree murder, an assault, and weapons counts

9
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 3: in violation of DC law. The FBI has been digging

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: through Ramanula la Canwell's devices and interviewing his known associates

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: to see if there's any evidence to support a terrorism charge.

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 3: Barring that, prosecutors are weighing whether the killing of a

13
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: National Guard member in from West Virginia can be tried

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: in federal court. That would make the death penalty an option,

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: but if the charges are brought under DC law, the

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 3: maximum penalty would be life in prison.

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: And we're hearing from the family of the National Guard

18
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: member that has since passed away. ABC's Alex Preschet has

00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:06,400

00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Twenty year old US Army specialist Sarah Beckstrom has died.

21
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: The president making that announcement. We also heard from Beckstrom's father,

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: who posted on social media saying, my baby girl has

23
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: passed to glory. President Trump also saying that twenty four

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: year old Andrew Wolf, who is a staff sergeant, is

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: quote fighting for his life.

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: Both of the shooting victims are from West Virginia. Now

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: to Logan Airport. Wbz's Jay Willette is catching up with

28
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 2: some passengers already heading off after their Thanksgiving celebration.

29
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: Where are you coming from? Where you're going?

30
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 5: New Ipswitch, New Hampshire and we are going to Albama.

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 4: The leftovers are packed up, turkey, potatoes and stuffing stuffed

32
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: away here at Logan Airport. The relatives are going home

33
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: or back to school.

34
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 5: Like her, I didn't have issues getting here. Now I'm

35
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 5: a little worried about getting through security, not because I

36
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 5: have anything on me, just in terms of.

37
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: Timing compared to the government's shutdown days of delays. This

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: group heading down south where the Iron Bowl says, a

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: minor setback is no big deal.

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 6: Oh, we did just get a delay, but I have

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 6: no problem with it.

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 4: A lot of people could take a page out.

43
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,920

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,240

86
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,440

87
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:56,280

93
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 6: absences at recent high profile events and the postponement of

94
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 6: a series of Las Vegas concerts due to what she's

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,280
