[♪♪♪] >> Dennis: HI EVERYONE, THANKS FOR WATCHING TONIGHT.

>>> WE NOW KNOW THE MOTIVE BEHIND THE SHOOTINGS OF THREE PEOPLE IN BEMIDJI LAST WEEK.

THE SUSPECT HAS BEEN CHARGED AS A JUVENILE WITH FOUR FELONIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE SHOOTING.

OUR POLICY IS TO NOT NAME SUSPECTS UNDER THE AGE OF 18 BUT COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW THE 16-YEAR-OLD MALE IS CHARGED WITH ASSAULT IN THE FIRST DEGREE-GREAT BODILY HARM TWO COUNTS OF ASSAULT IN THE SECOND DEGREE-DANGEROUS WEAPON-SUBSTANTIAL BODILY HARM AND ONE COUNT OF POSSES AMMO/PISTOL/ASSAULT WEAPON-UNDER 18 YEARS OLD.

THE SHOOTINGS HAPPENED JUST BEFORE FIVE P.M.

LAST THURSDAY EVENING IN THE AREA OF 2500 ITASCA LOOP NORTHWEST WHICH IS LOCATED SOUTH OF HOME DEPOT AND TO THE WEST OF THE YOUTH BASEBALL FIELDS.

ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, THE TEEN SUSPECT TOLD AUTHORITIES THAT HE BECAME IRATE AFTER HIS CELL PHONE PRIVILEGES WERE REVOKED AND RETALIATED BY SHOOTING HIS MOTHER AND FATHER WITH A PISTOL AS WELL AS A THIRD INDIVIDUAL WHO WAS NEAR THE SCENE.

ALL THREE SHOOTING VICTIMS ARE EXPECTED TO RECOVER BUT COURT DOCUMENTS STATE THAT THE FATHER WAS SHOT IN THE THIGH AND THE BULLET APPEARED TO HIT AN ARTERY AND REQUIRED A TOURNIQUET TO KEEP THE VICTIM FROM BLEEDING OUT.

THE SUSPECT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE A COURT APPEARANCE ON THURSDAY.

>>> A 19-YEAR-OLD MAN DIED TODAY WHEN THE PADDLE BOAT HE WAS ON CAPSIZED ON A CROW WING COUNTY LAKE.

ACCORDING TO A PRESS RELEASE FROM CROW WING COUNTY, THE MAN CALLED 9-1-1 WHILE IN THE WATER AND SAID HE AND TWO WOMEN WERE IN THE WATER AND THAT THEIR PADDLE BOAT HAD CAPSIZED ON LITTLE EMILY LAKE ABOUT 5 MILES NORTH OF EMILY.

THE CALL THEN UNEXPECTEDLY DISCONNECTED.

WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED THEY LOCATED THE TWO WOMEN AGES 20 AND 22 WHO REPORTED THE MAN HAD NOT RETURNED TO SHORE.

CROW WING COUNTY BOAT AND WATER PERSONNEL, ALONG WITH DIVE TEAM MEMBERS, INITIATED SEARCH OPERATIONS.

AND JUST BEFORE THREE THIS AFTERNOON RESPONDERS LOCATED AND RECOVERED THE BODY OF THE MAN IN ROUGHLY 23 FEET OF WATER.

ONE OF THE FEMALES WAS TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE FOR INJURIES RELATED TO COLD EXPOSURE.

CROW WING COUNTY SHERIFF ERIC KLANG SAYS THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED WERE COLLEGE STUDENTS VISITING THE AREA.

>>> TRAFFIC ON THE WEST SIDE OF HIGHWAY 197 IN BEMIDJI IS ALREADY STARTING TO BECOME CONGESTED, AS MN-DOT BEGINS ITS PORTION OF THE CORRIDOR PROJECT.

OUR REPORTER, MATTHEW FREEMAN, HAS MORE DETAILS ON WHAT DRIVERS CAN EXPECT IN THAT AREA OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.

>> Reporter: MnDOT'S PORTION OF THE HIGHWAY 197 CORRIDOR PROJECT IS UNDERWAY.

STARTING ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BY THE END OF THE SUMMER, A NEW ROUNDABOUT WILL BE READY ON THE ACCESS ROAD TO MENARDS AND BY THE END OF THE SUMMER IN 2027, ANOTHER TWO ROUNDABOUTS WILL BE ADDED ON THE INTERSECTIONS OF MIDDLE SCHOOL DRIVE AND HANNAH AVENUE.

>> THERE ARE 32 INTERSECTING POINTS AT A STOPLIGHT VERSUS 8 AT A ROUND ABOUT.

SO 32 WAYS TO GET IN A CRASH VERSUS 8 WAYS TO GET IN A CRASH.

ROUNDABOUTS ARE PROVEN TO BE SAFER AND WHEN THERE ARE CRASHES AT A ROUNDABOUT, THEY ARE MUCH LESS SEVERE THAN THE CRASHES THAT OCCUR AT A STOPLIGHT INTERSECTION.

>> Reporter: MnDOT IS STARTING WITH WHAT THEY CALL STAGE 1A OF THE PROJECT, WHERE INSTEAD OF DETOURS, THEY WILL CREATE TEMPORARY DRIVING LANES AND SIGNALS THAT WILL CARRY TRAFFIC ADJACENT TO THE WORK ZONE.

>> THE PURPOSE IS TO KEEP TRAFFIC OPEN ON 197 DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

SO WHAT YOU WILL BE SEEING THIS WEEK IS GRADING OPERATIONS AND BEGINNING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE BYPASS LANE.

>> Reporter: THIS STAGE OF THE PROJECT SHOULD LAST UNTIL MID-JUNE.

MnDOT THEN PLANS TO MOVE TRAFFIC TO THE BYPASS LANES SO THAT THE MAIN PART OF THE PROJECT CAN BEGIN.

>> THERE WILL STILL BE STOPLIGHTS AT 71 AND STOPLIGHTS AT THE TEMPORARY CROSSOVER, WHICH IS NEXT TO MENARDS, SO THE ACCESS ROAD WILL BE THE TEMPORARY CROSSOVER.

SO ONCE WE GET TRAFFIC MOVED TO THE TEMPORARY BYPASS, THEN WE WILL BEGIN OUR MEAT AND POTATOES OF WHAT THIS CONSTRUCTION SEASON IS ALL ABOUT, WHICH IS CONSTRUCTING THE ROUNDABOUT IN FRONT OF MENARDS.

>> Reporter: DRIVERS SHOULD EXPECT REDUCED SPEEDS AS WORK RAMPS UP.

WE WILL PROVIDE UPDATES AS MnDOT PROGRESSES THROUGH THE PROJECT.

REPORTING IN BEMIDJI, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> MATTHEW WILL HIGHLIGHT A FEW MORE ROAD PROJECTS DURING TOMORROW'S BROADCAST.

ONE IS A STREET RENEWAL PROJECT IN THE CITY OF BEMIDJI, AND THE OTHER IS MN-DOT'S HIGHWAY 71 PROJECT TAKING PLACE BETWEEN TENSTRIKE AND TURTLE RIVER THIS SUMMER.

>>> SANFORD HEALTH IS ONCE AGAIN TEAMING UP WITH THE BEMIDJI ROTARY CLUB FOR THEIR BLOOD SCREENING EVENT.

OUR REPORTER SYDNEY DICK SPOKE TO ORGANIZERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEDICAL CHECKUPS THAT WILL BE TAKING PLACE LATER THIS WEEK.

>> Reporter: IN AVERAGE OF 570 BEMIDJI AREA RESIDENTS PARTICIPATED IN THE ANNUAL BLOOD SCREENING EVENT.

>> WITH THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF TESTING, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD SCREEN TEST.

WE'RE GOING TO CHECK THINGS AND SEE HOW YOUR LIVER IS DOING, HOW YOUR KIDNEY IS DOING, AND INFECTIONS, ANEMIA, AND WHAT EVERYBODY IS FAMILIAR WITH IS THE CHOLESTEROL PANEL AND LIPIDS AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

NEW THIS YEAR IS HEMOGLOBIN A1C, AN INDICATOR OF DIABETES MANAGEMENT.

>> Reporter: THE TESTS ARE DONE FOR PARTICIPANTS FOR $40, A PORTION OF WHICH WILL BE DONATED TO THE PLACE OF THE ROTARY CLUB'S CHOICE, THIS YEAR BEING THE YMCA'S INDOOR PLAYGROUND.

>> PART OF EVERY DOLLAR IS DONATED THROUGH SANFORD AND WITH THAT, THAT MONEY WILL GO DIRECTLY TO THE INDOOR PLAYGROUND THROUGH THE YMCA AND THE LONGEST IS GETTING THROUGH THE INITIAL REGISTRATION.

YOU WILL STOP AT THE ROTARY TABLE AND THEN GO TO THE REGISTRATION TABLE, THEN WALK INTO THE LAB AND THEY WILL TAKE YOUR DRAW AND IT WILL BE AS SMOOTH AS SILK, 10 TO 20 MINUTES AT MOST.

>> Reporter: PARTICIPANTS WILL GET THEIR BLOOD TEST RESULTS BACK AND THE RESULTS CAN SHOW WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE ROUTINE SCREENING DONE.

>> THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT KNOW THEY HAVE AN ISSUE, BUT WE HAD PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS THAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS THAT HAD NO IDEA THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING ON.

MAYBE IT'S ANEMIA, MAYBE THEIR KIDNEYS NEED MORE ATTENTION, SO IT'S BEEN A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO CATCH SOME THINGS THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WAS GOING ON.

THEY FELT LIKE HEY, I FEEL PRETTY GOOD.

I WILL DO IT FOR THE CAUSE THAT ROTARY HAS AND FOUND OUT IT WAS GREAT TO GET THEIR TESTING DONE.

>> Reporter: THE TEST IS TAKING PLACE IN THE MAIN MEDICAL CENTER BUILDING.

PARTICIPANTS SHOULD USE THE EAST ENTRANCE TO GET INSIDE.

REPORTING FROM BEMIDJI, I'M SYDNEY DICK, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> APPOINTMENTS FOR THE BLOOD SCREENING CAN BE MADE BY CALLING THE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN.

THE EVENT WILL BE GOING FROM 7:00 A.M.

TO 10:00 A.M.

TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY MAY 13TH, THROUGH THIS FRIDAY, THE 15TH.
