   Preliminary hearing set for sailor accused in death of Angelina Resendiz

   Media have been invited to the Article 32 hearing — which is a pre-trial hearing in the Uniform Code of Military Justice — to determine whether the case can go to trial.

   Last week, Jermiah Copeland, a culinary specialist assigned to the Norfolk-based USS James E. Williams (DDG 95), the same role and assignment as Resendiz, was identified in a filing document obtained by WTKR News 3. Court filings state that a "J. Copeland" is charged with premeditated murder, according to a specification of charges sheet, in connection with the death of another sailor referred to as "A.R."

   However, Copeland has yet to be named publicly by Navy officials. The sheet states that Copeland is accused of committing the murder while on active duty at or near Norfolk on or about May 29 — the date Navy officials say Resendiz was last seen.
   

2. Three people have been arrested and charged in connection with a Hampton bus stop shooting that left two teens injured last Tuesday, according to police.

   Based on a initial gatherings, officers learned that during a fight between multiple people, two people waved firearms around and began shooting, leading to the injuries of both teens.

   Hampton Public Safety Communications received the call about a shooting in the 8600 block of Orcutt Avenue September 9, around 3:26 p.m., police said. An 18-year-old male was found with a non life-threatening gunshot wound at a 7-Eleven in the 4900 Block of W. Mercury Boulevard. A 17-year-old, injured in connection with the incident, had walked into a local hospital, according to police.
   

3. ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely following comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s killing.

   In his monologue on Tuesday, Kimmel said that “we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

   “Mr. Kimmel’s comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located,” said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstar’s broadcasting division. Trump congratulated ABC's decision, writing that its "great news for America." Some Democratic lawmakers, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have urged for this issue to be brought to court.
