50's -- and has a salt-and- pepper goatee.. if you have any information.. you're asked to call the polk county sheriff's office.. 3 3 (jen) and now... to the race for the white house... another round of primary voting is over... and it was another big night for donald trump. (walter) he won three of the four states... only idaho went for someone else... ted cruz. no wonder trump is already focused on facing a *democrat, instead of his fellow republicans. but they say: not so fast. 3 : "if i get to go against hillary, polls are showing that i beat her and some of the polls have me beating her very easily." cruz says: "we are closing the gap in state after state"cruz says: "a new wsj poll just donald trump *crowd cheers* 3 --walter turning to the not as many states voting here... just two... and they

clinton won mississippi... and bernie sanders pulled-off the upset, winning michigan. but it was close... he got 49-percent. clinton was less than two-percentage points behind him. michigan is the first industrial midwestern state to hold a primary... and it could set-up sanders for big numbers next week in ohio. he's optimistic. 3 "so we started this campaign as many will remember ten months ago, we were sixty or seventy points down in the polls, and what we have seen is poll after poll, state after state, what we have done is to create the kind of momentum that we need to win, 3 (jen// it's going to be a busy week for candidates on both sides. tonight, bernie sanders and hillary clinton will square off in a debate at miami dade college. then tomorrow, both candidates will hold rallies here in tampa. also thursday, republicans will face off in a debate at the

3 a man accused of shooting an idaho pastor is in custody this morning.. police say -- "kyle odom" shot pastor "tim remington".. 6 times sunday... hours after pastor remington attended a campaign rally for texas senator ted cruz. odom was arrested in washington d-c.. after he threw something over the white house fence. the object hasn't been identified. pastor remington survived the shooting and is now talking with his family.. investigators are still looking for a motive.. 3 some startling new statistics this morning concerning the zika virus. experts say one in 5 people in puerto rico could be infected. in response... the f-d-a has shipped blood to the island over fears that the local supply could be contaminated. the u-s territory is now in crisis mode with 157 confirmed cases of the virus. 3 a california highway patrol officer is being called a hero after rescuing a family from a burning car. that officer just happened to be

caught fire... a news photographer also happened to be there at the time. the officer first grabbed a 1- year-old baby from the backseat... then went back for the 2-year-old girl. after the children were safe... the driver got out through the passenger-side door. the family was treated for smoke inhalation... but is otherwise okay. 3 looks like a *mudslide is likely what caused a commuter train derailment in northern california, that injured nine people monday night. (jen) investigators say: mud and debris pushed a tree onto the tracks... which knocked one that plunged into a creek... rescuers had to pull people out as it sunk. covering that accident, had a close call himself. 3 (jen look at this... it's reporter "alex savidge" and his photographer chip vaughan were almost in an accident. this is chip's view... from behind the lens... he could see this car was coming... and had just enough time to yell "get out of the

he lost 3 focus. thankfully, no one was hurt... but man, scary stuff. later, alex went back on the air, to update everyone... and understandably, he was emotional. 3 "i want to bring chip out here. i would just like to thank chip. (hugs) thanks, buddy. (gets choked up) you're alright, you're alright. thanks. it's scary. (it's alright) it's scary." 3 --jen 3 you can't blame him for being shaken up. without that split-second warning from the photographer, things could have been very different. investigators say: the driver of the white car likely hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes... 3

3 ((jen)) they're the people that run *toward danger, when everyone else runs *away.((walter)) it takes a special kind of courage to be a police officer... and that's under the best circumstances. 3 (wally well, andrea didn't have those... she had to fight her way through a health crisis, and the academy, at the same time. how she summoned that double courage... and now, how she's using it to lift up others.

3 the task of going through

becoming a police officer is not an easy one. and for this week's extraordinary ordinary -- it was especially difficult. but she did it... with *grit and *grace. 3 "i had to, i guess fight for my life and i had to fight to stay in the game and i will always live by that." andrea urig has quite the story to tell."doesn't matter how hard you hit, it's how many times you get hit and keep getting hit and move forward." let's start at chapter one. ever since she can rememer, she wanted to be a police officer.honestly as a kid, chasing the bad guys and making everyone safe. i just wanted to be a part of the community and be a role model"it was a dream that i had to put on hold time and time again for different life circumstances... i put it on hold for so long that i honestly lost hope in it. she had been an employee with u-s-f p.d.for a number of years she held a couple of different positions like ... working dispatch. it was her passion and dedication -- that u-s-f p.d. noticed and offered andrea a spot in the academy and position as an officer when she graduated.... the dream was finally coming true... until a couple of hours into her first day at the academy.i got the phone call on my first break and they told me that i had cancer. i was devastated. i was now thinking that my dream is turning into a nightmare. because of the physical rigors of becoming a police officer.... some of her doctors told her she should put the dream on hold. those at the academy, said she could hit the pause button at any time and be welcomed back when shes cancer free. but this extraordinary ordinary was going to turn this into another chapter in the book of andrea... instead of an ending. at 7 o'clock in the morning, we're running pt's, doing push ups, sit ups, we're fighting. i made sure that i told my instructors and my fellow cadets that no one is to feel sympathty for me. a lot of people call me a warrior,a hero, a super hero. i just think it as the perfect distraction. and while there are many blank pages that lie ahead, andrea passes on her story to others.... now that she graduated and is an officer for the university of south florida police department. :"when i do arrest the "bad guy" per say, before i take 'em down to the orient jail and about 90% of them end up thanking me for sitting down and talking with them. not
