[Paul Stevens]

Looking for a suspect. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. The FBI now investigating Saturday night's mass shooting at a family gathering in Stockton, California. At least four people killed, 10 others hearse.

[Sierra Krug]

The mayor shared his condolences, saying this happened at a child's birthday party. I myself asked the sheriff's county representative about that. She said that is something they are still looking into and cannot confirm at this time. Multiple agencies have been called in to help. They said it's all hands on deck and their primary focus right now is locating that suspect. People asked how many suspects there are. That's something that sheriff's office and all of those partnering agencies are still looking into. Again, no information right now about the suspect or how many there could be. Covering local news that matters. Sierra Krug, Fox 40 News Meantime, a.

[Paul Stevens]

Major winter storm sweeping through the Midwest is prompting widespread warnings and causing big travel disruptions with hundreds of flights already delayed or cancelled. Dangerous driving conditions as well. FOX Weather's Adam clouds temperatures out in.

[Adam Klontz]

Front of it Closer to freezing, 30, 32 degrees. New York City, 40 degrees right along the coast. Probably not much in the way of snow with this. It's going to be these interior locations as the system does kind of wind down as it moves farther towards the east. So the concern continues to be parts of the Midwest. We're looking at a winter storm warnings including portions of northern Indiana back towards Wisconsin. All areas where the snow piled up the back side of the system is continuing to bring at least some snow. You could see another couple of inches. So the heaviest snow has kind of wrapped up but still coming down in some of these spots, which certainly is a problem for travel. Otherwise, once this moves through, it is cold on the back side of but you do get a little bit of a break. So this is our last big travel trouble here as we continue to get folks back home over the next day.

[Paul Stevens]

Fox Weather's Adam Klontz. Over 1,000 flights to and from Chicago airports were canceled in 24 hours this past weekend. Flights to O' Hare cancelled on average by five hours on Saturday. America is listening to FOX News.

A federal judge in Washington reviving his contempt inquiry into the Trump White House over its refusal to turn two planes around that were carrying Venezuelan migrants in March. Judge James Boasberg ordering the administration to file written statements by December 5 from all officials involved in that move. He's examining whether the administration defied his order to return the flights. The standoff carries serious stakes as Boasberg could refer officials for prosecution. The administration insists it did not violate the court's directive. Well, this past week, a federal judge ordering the cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia. But the attorney general says she will continue pursuing the charges.

[Ainsley Earhardt]

Federal Judge Cameron Curry ruled the interim U.S. attorney for Eastern Virginia did not have the lawful authority to pursue cases against James Comey and Letitia James. The Judge found the 120 day time period for an interim attorney position to serve had elapsed and that without Senate confirmation, Lindsey Halligan could not bring the indictments. Attorney General Pam Bondi reacted.

[Sierra Krug]

We'll be taking all available legal action, including an immediate appeal to hold Letitia and James Comey accountable for their unlawful conduct.

[Ainsley Earhardt]

The cases were dismissed without prejudice, meaning new charges can be brought. There is often a six month grace period to do that, but that may not be viable in Comey's case as the statute of limitations was just days away from expiring when the indictment against him was brought. Jessica Rosenthal, FOX News.
