THIS IS BREAKING NEWS. PROSECUTORS SAY THEY ARE OPEN TO DELAYING THE START OF DONALD TRUMP’S HUSH MONEY TRIAL IN NEW YORK. IT’S TO GIVE THE FORMER PRESIDENT’S LAWYERS TIME TO REVIEW EVIDENCE THAT WAS RECENTLY TURNED OVER, THE MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAID IN A COURT FILING THAT IT IS NOT OPPOSED TO ADJOURNING THE START OF THE TRIAL FOR NO MORE THAN 30 DAYS. RIGHT NOW, JURY SELECTION IS SET TO BEGIN ON MARCH 25TH. THE JUDGE HAS YET TO RULE ON THIS REQUEST HERE AT HOME AND FIRST AT 4:00. A TEENAGER HAS BEEN ARRESTED, ACCUSED OF FIRING A GUN INSIDE A GROCERY STORE IN HIGH PLAINS. WXII 12 MARIA DEBONE JOINS US LIVE OUTSIDE THE FOOD LION ON WESTCHESTER DRIVE. MARIA, WHAT CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE INCIDENT. WELL, THE INITIAL CALL THAT HIGH POINT POLICE GOT WAS THAT SHOTS WERE FIRED INSIDE THIS STORE, AND THEN THEY ARRIVED IN LESS THAN A MINUTE HERE. OFFICERS THEN DETERMINED THAT ONE SHOT WAS FIRED AND NO ONE WAS HIT. WE’VE LEARNED THAT A 17 YEAR-OLD WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY NOT FAR FROM THE FOOD LION HIGH POINT POLICE SAY THE GUN THE TEEN FIRED WAS STOLEN. THAT’S 17. YEAR-OLD IS NOW CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF A STOLEN FIREARM, DISCHARGE OF A FIREARM WITHIN A STRUCTURE AND POSSESSION OF A FIREARM BY A MINOR AT THE HIGH POINT POLICE DEPARTMENT, SAYS 25 OFFICERS QUICKLY RESPONDED TO THE SCENE. THEY WERE ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AND MAKE AN ARREST ALL WITHIN AN HOUR. WHENEVER IT’S SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE, OUR CONCERN ALWAYS GOES THAT IT WOULD BE MORE SERIOUS. AND THAT’S WHY, AGAIN, WE RESPONDED LIKE WE DID, LIKE THE TRAIN FOR THE WORST. AND YOU KNOW, THAT WAY WE’RE PREPARED WHEN IT’S NOT. AND HIGH POINT POLICE SAYS THE SUSPECT WAS TAKEN TO THE GUILFORD COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY UNDER A SECURE ORDER IN HIGH POINT MARIA DEBONE, WXII 12 NEWS.

DISTRICT OFFICIALS SAY THEY’VE NOTIFIED PARENTS ABOUT BOTH SITUATIONS. JONES TODAY MARKS TWO MONTHS SINCE A HIGH POINT MOTHER OF FIVE MARISSA CARMICHAEL WENT MISSING. 25 YEAR-OLD CARMICHAEL WAS LAST SEEN ON JANUARY 14TH AT THE EXXON ON EAST MARKET STREET.
