430 ON YOUR THURSDAY. THANKS FOR STARTING YOUR DAY WITH FIRST NEWS TODAY. I’M CODY. GOOD MORNING, I’M DONNA PITMAN. WE WILL BRING YOU YOUR NINE THINGS TO KNOW IN A MOMENT. FIRST, THOUGH, WE SAY GOOD MORNING TO NICK BENDER WHO HAS A QUICK CHECK OF YOUR FORECAST. AND REALLY THE NOWCAST. IF WE LOOK BEHIND YOU. YEAH. THAT’S RIGHT. PAINTED IN GREEN TODAY IS A FIRST ALERT WEATHER IMPACT. GRAB YOUR RAIN GEAR. YOU ARE GOING TO NEED IT THIS MORNING. A BIG AREA OF LIGHT, OCCASIONALLY MODERATE RAIN. THE HEAVIEST OF THE RAIN IS FALLING SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70. SEE THOSE DARKER GREENS AND YELLOWS DOWN NEAR MOUND CITY? GARNETT LA CYGNE MOVING TOWARD BUTLER. LIGHTER SHADES OF GREEN ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 70 INTO NORTHERN MISSOURI. AND ALL THIS RAIN IS SWEEPING FROM THE WEST TO THE EAST, BUT WE ARE PAINTED IN LIGHT RAIN ACROSS KANSAS CITY. A LITTLE LIGHTER UP HERE NEAR THE AIRPORT, RELATIVELY HEAVIER SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 70 FROM OVERLAND PARK. LENEXA ACROSS STATE LINE TO THE TRIANGLE, LEE’S SUMMIT, AND BLUE SPRINGS. AND THIS LIGHT RAIN IS GOING TO LAST THROUGH MUCH OF THIS MORNING’S DRIVE. SO ABOUT THROUGH 9:00 HERE IN KANSAS CITY, PLAN ON LIGHT RAIN, WET ROADS, AND PROBABLY JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A SLOWER DRIVE. AND THEN THIS AFTERNOON WE WON’T HAVE AS MUCH RAIN, BUT THERE WILL STILL BE POP-UP SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS. SLOW MOVING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION. CODY. NICK. THANK YOU. HERE ARE NINE THINGS TO KNOW THIS MORNING. THERE’S A NEW CHAPTER IN THE STADIUM SAGA. KANSAS CITY ROYALS CONFIRM REPORTS AN AFFILIATE OF THE TEAM BOUGHT UP THE MORTGAGE OF THE ASPIRE CAMPUS IN OVERLAND PARK, THE OLD HOME OF SPRINT. DESPITE THAT, THE ROYALS SAY THEY CONTINUE TO EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THEIR STADIUM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STATE LINE. YOU CAN WATCH OUR REPORTING ONLINE@KMBC.COM. A MAN AND A WOMAN ARE DEAD AFTER BEING SHOT IN A DRIVEWAY IN SOUTHEAST KANSAS CITY. THIS HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AROUND 9:00. NOW, POLICE SAY THEY WERE CALLED TO EAST 96TH STREET IN FREMONT ON A SHOOTING THERE. THEY SAY THAT THE SHOOTING STEMMED FROM AN ARGUMENT. SO FAR, NO SHOOTER IN CUSTODY. IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING, CALL CRIME STOPPERS AT 816474 TIPS. YOU CAN ALWAYS STAY ANONYMOUS, AND YOUR TIP COULD LEAD TO A CASH REWARD. NORTH KANSAS CITY POLICE ARE WARNING THE PUBLIC ABOUT A PERSON THEY CALL AN ARMED AND DANGEROUS MAN ON THE LOOSE. POLICE SAY 44 YEAR OLD MARK LINN JONES HAS SEVERAL WARRANTS OUT FOR HIS ARREST. HE’S WANTED IN NORTH KANSAS CITY, KANSAS CITY, INDEPENDENCE, COLE AND CLAY COUNTIES, AS WELL AS GEORGIA, INDIANA AND NEW JERSEY. IF YOU SEE HIM, POLICE SAY, STEER CLEAR. INSTEAD, JUST CALL 911 BECAUSE THEY WEREN’T WILLING TO MEET. AND AFTER I DID WHAT I DID, THEY SAID, WE’LL MEET ANYTIME YOU WANT AND WE HAVE AN END DATE OF JULY 9TH. YOU CALL THAT CHICKENING OUT? PRESIDENT TRUMP IS FACING BACKLASH OVER HIS BACK AND FORTH ON TARIFFS FROM WALL STREET. A REPORTER ASKED THE PRESIDENT ABOUT NEW CRITICISMS AND A WALL STREET TERM TACO TRADE, WHICH APPARENTLY MEANS TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. PRESIDENT SHOT DOWN THE CRITICISM. MEANWHILE, A FEDERAL JUDGE IS BLOCKING THE ATTEMPTS TO IMPOSE TARIFFS UNDER EMERGENCY POWERS. THE WHITE HOUSE PLANS TO APPEAL THAT RULING. ELON MUSK HAS LEFT HIS ROLE AS A SPECIAL GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEE. HE SPEARHEADED THE DEPARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT EFFICIENCY, ALSO KNOWN AS DOGE, WITH THE ORIGINAL GOAL OF TRYING TO CUT DOWN ON WASTEFUL SPENDING IN THE GOVERNMENT. HIS DEPARTURE COMES A DAY AFTER HE CRITICIZED THE PRESIDENT’S SPENDING BILL MAKING ITS WAY THROUGH CONGRESS. SECRETARY OF STATE MARCO RUBIO SAYS THE U.S. WILL START REVOKING VISAS OF SOME CHINESE STUDENTS. IT’S THE LATEST MOVE BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, PUTTING THE FUTURE OF FOREIGN STUDENTS IN JEOPARDY. CHINA IS THE SECOND LARGEST COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO SENDING STUDENTS TO THE U.S. DURING THE 20 2324 SCHOOL YEAR, MORE THAN 270,000 INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN THE U.S. WERE FROM CHINA. IN THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WRAP UP THEIR FIRST WEEK OF OTAS. TODAY, WE EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HEAD COACH ANDY REID, AND PLAYERS WILL HAVE TWO MORE WEEKS OF OTAS BEFORE MANDATORY MINICAMP AND, OF COURSE, TRAINING CAMP IN JULY NEAR SAINT JOE. A PLAYOFF BASEBALL IS UNDERWAY IN BOTH KANSAS AND MISSOURI. SEVERAL TEAMS ARE WORKING TO TAKE HOME A STATE TITLE, INCLUDING OLATHE WEST, MILL VALLEY, BLUE VALLEY AND MANY MORE. TONIGHT’S THE RETURN OF HOT COUNTRY NIGHTS, THE POWER AND LIGHT DISTRICT. WYATT FLORES WILL BE PERFORMING. DOORS OPEN AT SIX. IF YOU’RE UNDER 18, YOU HAVE TO BRING A PARENT OR GUARDIAN ALONG. YOU CAN BUY TICKETS F
