Lt. Steve Hauck - UPD

- There was a huge issue in Utica over the weekend and Lt. Steve Hauck is in to discuss whatever he can about the shooting at Level Bar in Utica.

- Lt. Hauck gives us a recap of the situation. He was actively shooting and there is no idea on his intent. The suspect is still in bad shape as well as the victims, so it's hard to get a lot of details yet, but it was crowded and there are plenty of people that were there.

- Lt. Hauck talks about that area and that bar and how it's not a problem area as it was in the past. The owner is a very responsible guy and there haven't been any issues in the past, these things can just happen.

If you have any information on this case please call (you can remain anonymous) call 223-3510.

Continuing with Lt. Hauck - Discussing FBI Director on 60 Minutes

- We review the conversation on 60 Minutes about the FBI director and comments he made about surveillance of U.S. Citizens.

- Apple and Google have had their tracking capabilities taken away due to their giving up information to the NSA. They've just plain given up the tracking data.

Michael Blumenthal - Rubber Recycling

- Michale is a rubber recycling expert.

- Michael acknowledges how sad it is that people have been diagnosed with cancer. Rubber is a man made product and there are two types of people, people who are against it and people who aren't.

- Michael addresses the concern of artificial turf and rubber. He also talks about the difference between Europe and America in regards to turf field or "pitch."

- Out of dozens of reports that were positive, people and the media take the one negative study and runs with it and starts pointing fingers.

- To get tickets, call the Turning Stone Box Office at361-SHOW (7469).

- Also, we talk with Romy about "The Real Housewives of Melbourne." The funny part is she knows pretty much everyone on the show and for her it was odd to see them.
