A massive train derailment in Ohio caused a fire that led to an evacuation of East Palestine.
A train derailment and resulting large fire prompted an evacuation order and a declaration of a state of emergency in an Ohio village near the Pennsylvania state line, covering the area in billows of smoke lit orange by the flames below.
About 50 cars derailed in East Palestine as a train was carrying a variety of freight from Madison, Illinois, to Conway, Pennsylvania, rail operator Norfolk Southern said in a statement Saturday. There was no immediate information about what caused the derailment. No injuries were reported.

,tulsi gabbard,breaking news,white house,obama,trump,trump today,trump news,trump latest,trump update,intelligence chief,Gabbard,obama administration,6IzKFiaLiyA,, Politics,Society, channel_UCNBmxc6FvKyxtCpUygcdINA, video_6IzKFiaLiyA,(AP) The Trump administration’s Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, is touting from the White House podium the release of a House report that she claims helps undercut the reality of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Gabbard made a surprise appearance just hours after she made public a declassified report from House Republicans that was produced during the first presidential administration.
The report does not dispute the intelligence community’s assessment that Russia interfered in the election, but alleges tradecraft failings in how intelligence officials reached the conclusion that Russian President Vladimir Putin intended to have Trump win.
The release of the report, as Trump is facing backlash from elements of his base over the handling of records from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, is part of an ongoing effort by the Trump administration to rewrite the history of Russian election interference.
Gabbard lashed out during lengthy remarks at specific members of the Obama administration.
Gabbard didn’t address a question about those who suggest she is making the report public in order to improve her standing with Trump after she seemed to fall from favor earlier this year when he dismissed her assessments about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
Instead, Leavitt opted to answer the question for Gabbard, who said the only people questioning Gabbard’s motives were news reporters “who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president’s Cabinet.”

Earlier Sunday morning, Akron police told 3News their officers responded to the scene shortly after midnight amid several calls of shots fired.
“Shortly after those calls came in, the call center received notifications from local hospitals that multiple persons were arriving in the emergency departments with gunshot wounds,” according to Akron police.
Initial reports from police said there were 27 total gunshot victims. A statement issued hours later from Mayor Malik and Chief Harding, however, lowered that number to 25 -- which includes a 27-year-old man who has been confirmed dead.
One firearm and several dozen casings have been recovered from the scene, police said.
Details surrounding any suspects connected to the shooting are unknown.

There's more to come Wednesday.
Cold air aloft allows warmer at at the bottom of the atmosphere to rise. This creates clouds and showers and sometimes rumbles of thunder.
Typically once the sun sets and cooling takes place, the air doesn't rise and things settle down.
Tomorrow the northern edge of this system will pivot across Northern Ohio. That means a soggy morning commute is likely.
Later in the day the system moves out and we'll be getting ready for a stretch of phenomenal weather late week. Rain chances won't be back until later in the weekend.

Changes are on the way come Saturday morning. A quick moving clipper system will dive into Northeast Ohio spreading rain showers as early as 7 AM. Widespread showers will be likely through the morning. The shower/storm threat turns scattered by lunchtime with a northwest wind. Upper-level dynamics could generate brief heavy downpours and even small-size hail through the early evening. Heading to the Cavaliers game around sunset, conditions will be drier.
Mother's Day looks much better with morning clouds giving way to sunshine and temps that recover into the mid 60s. If you're heading to lunch or dinner, we look great!

,1,With concerns of a potential explosion connected to the train derailment in Columbiana County, a "controlled release" of chemicals inside the railroad cars has begun on Monday afternoon.
It came as Gov. Mike DeWine said the contents of five rail cars are “currently unstable and could potentially explode, causing deadly disbursement of shrapnel and toxic fumes.”
The apparent release occurred around 4:30 p.m., with residents and 3News reporters reporting a large explosion along with a massive plum of smoke billowing to the sky.
So how does the controlled release work? Scott Deutsch, an official with the Norfolk Southern Railroad, said it's a process that could take one to three hours.
Deutsch said it begins by creating a small hole in the tank car.
“This will allow the material to come out of the tank car," the official explained. "It will go into a pit and trench that we have dug and set up for this operation. Inside that trench will be flares lining that trench that then will light off the material.”
Just over an hour into the controlled release, smoke still covered the skies in Columbiana County.

,1,President Joe Biden commented on the Chineses Balloon flying over the US.
The Biden administration is considering a plan to shoot down a large Chinese balloon suspected of conducting surveillance on U.S. military, by bringing it down once it is above the Atlantic Ocean where the remnants could potentially be recovered, according to four U.S. officials.
The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive operation, said it was unclear whether a final decision had yet been made by President Joe Biden. In a brief remark Saturday in response to a reporter’s question about the balloon, Biden said: “We’re going to take care of it.”
The balloon was spotted Saturday morning over North Carolina as it neared the Atlantic coast.
Biden had been inclined to down the balloon over land when he was first briefed on it on Tuesday, but Pentagon officials advised against it, warning that the potential risk to people on the ground outweighed the assessment of potential Chinese intelligence gains.
