We could be taking a run at some RECORD low temperatures overnight tonight! Here’s a look at a couple spots that could make a run at or even nudge out a few of these records by a degree or two. The record cold low temp in Lexington for tomorrow is 37 degrees – which has actually been recorded three times (1938, 1941 and 1996). Our forecast low temperature for tomorrow morning is 36 degrees! Areas of frost are expected tomorrow morning, especially in sheltered, valley locations. Be sure to protect any sensitive vegetation you might have outside. Thankfully, this is only a quick shot of cold air. With high pressure in control, we’ll see a good deal of sun tomorrow with some extra fair weather clouds popping during the afternoon. High temps tomorrow will remain below average only climbing into the lower 60s. Once that area of high pressure drifts off to our east for the middle of the work week, our warm up will really crank up. The dry stretch of weather will continue through mid week with high temperatures Tuesday in the mid 70s with low/mid 80s expected Wednesday.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – Gunmen opened fire on dozens of people marching in a neighborhood Mother’s Day parade in New Orleans on Sunday, wounding at least 19 people, police said.

The FBI said that the shooting appeared to be “street violence” and wasn’t linked to terrorism.

Many of the victims were grazed and most of the wounds weren’t life-threatening, according to a police news release. No deaths were reported.

The victims included 10 men, seven women, a boy and a girl. The children, both 10 years old, were grazed and in good condition. Police said at least two people were in surgery Sunday night.

Mary Beth Romig, a spokeswoman for the FBI in New Orleans, said federal investigators have no indication that the shooting was an act of terrorism.

“It’s strictly an act of street violence in New Orleans,” she said.

Officers were interspersed with the marchers, which is routine for such events. As many as 400 people joined in the procession that stretched for about 3 blocks, though only half that many were in the immediate vicinity of the shooting, said Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas.

Police saw three suspects running from the scene in the city’s 7th Ward neighborhood. No arrests had been made as of late afternoon.

Second-line parades are loose processions in which people dance down the street, often following behind a brass band. They can be impromptu or planned and are sometimes described as moving block parties.

A social club called The Original Big 7 organized Sunday’s event. The group was founded in 1996 at the Saint Bernard housing projects, according to its MySpace page.

The neighborhood where the shooting happened was a mix of low-income and middle-class row houses, some boarded up. As of last year, the neighborhood’s population was about 60 percent of its pre-Hurricane Katrina level.

Police vowed to make swift arrests. Serpas said it wasn’t clear if particular people in the second line were targeted, or if the shots were fired in a random fashion.

“We’ll get them. We have good resources in this neighborhood,” Serpas said.

In the late afternoon, the scene was taped off and police had placed bullet casing markers in at least 10 spots.

A man is in jail after police say he tortured a woman in his home for 5 days.

The woman was rescued by police Tuesday after being held by her boyfriend at gun point and knife point.

According to the Sentinel News, Gary Harris is charged with unlawful imprisonment, sodomy, sexual assault and wanton endangerment. The victim told police she was hit in the head with a hammer, forced to sit in scalding hot water and had objects forced into her body. Police say they were tipped off by a family member.

Harris is being held at the Shelby County jail.

A man who was missing for several hours Saturday in the Brumfield Lane area of Jessamine County has been found dead.

The Jessamine County Coroner says 56-year-old Danny Reynolds was riding his horse with some friends Saturday. Officials say Reynolds and his horse tried to cross a stream, but the horse likely slipped, causing Reynolds to fall off.

The horse was later found, safe, but not Reynolds.

Rescuers found him about a half-a-mile down stream around 9:00 Sunday morning.

The official cause of death is drowning, and the coroner says bumps and bruises on Reynolds are consistent with falling off a horse.

A convicted murderer is accused of trying to kidnap a Laurel County girl this weekend. The accused talked from behind bars to LEX 18.

“I never did nothing to that girl. I thought it was her mom, I thought it was her mom for the longest time,” Carl Miller said from the Laurel County Detention Center. Miller was arrested Friday for an unrelated alcohol charge. Later, authorities connected him to an attempted kidnapping investigation.

Miller told LEX 18 he never touched the girl, nor did he even get close to her.

A 15-year-old girl, though, tells authorities that Miller offered her drugs and made sexual comments towards her, then eventually grabbed her arm and tried to pull her away. The teen says she escaped and ran for help. Miller claims his truck simply got stuck in the family’s driveway and he only spoke to the girl from a distance.

This isn’t Miller’s first time in jail. He spent 13 years behind bars for his role in a man’s death in 1989. Now, he fears a return. Residents along American Greetings Card Road in Corbin also have their fears.

“You never know what runs up and down this road,” says Terry Bingham, a nearby resident. Bingham is a grandfather to a couple of young girls, and he says he tries to do his best to keep an eye on them. “You just have to be aware of your surroundings. Who goes by and who pulls in and who stops and sees you, you never know,” says Bingham.
