From ABC News, I’m Michelle Franzen.
In Milwaukee, a shooting inside the MillerCoors
brewing facility, local police tell ABC affiliate WISN that the suspect may be a
fired employee and reporting that as many as seven may be dead including the
gunman, but it’s not been independently
confirmed. ABC’s Ryan Burrow has the latest. “Milwaukee Police are not
getting much information at this point other than that this is a critical
incident. We know it’s located at the MillerCoors brewing facility. Their
attention seems to be focused on Building No. 4 on the urban sprawling campus. There
are multiple ambulances at the scene, dozens upon dozens of vehicles, we
know the FBI says it is responding.” ABC’s Ryan Burrow.

Next hour, President Trump will belief the nation on efforts to combat the
coronavirus. That is cases. The virus is spreading beyond China where the
outbreak began in the part of Asia and Europe. ABC’s Katherine Faulders is in Washington. “The Trump Administration has
responded to criticism with mixed messages insisting the threat was contained
but has simultaneously acknowledged that more people inside the U.S. would
likely turn up infected. The President has claimed the situation is, quote, under control and plans to hold a
news conference this evening to address it.

A Federal appeals court backing the Trump Administration in the disputes of so-called
sanctuary cities. The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals here in New York said
the Trump Administration could withhold millions of dollars in grants from
cities that do not give federal immigration authorities advanced notice of an undocumented
immigrants release from custody. A district court ordered the Administration to
release the money after seven states and New York City sued. The Appellate
Court said though the Federal Government has broad authority to enforce
national immigration laws and policies, the ruling conflicts with other federal
appeals courts that ruled in favor of the states. Aaron Katersky, ABC News, New York.
