5/13: Middleburg killer found dead  

By Rich Jones

Another steamy afternoon, temps in the low 90's with partly sunny, hazy skies.  We have a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms today, and a greater chance Saturday and Sunday.

Low scores at The Players, and an old dog is near the top.  Mark O'Meara starts the second round 6 under par, two shots behind Nick Watney.  Tiger Woods pulled out of The Players after shooting six over in 9 holes Thursday, saying his injured achilles and knee are still bothering him.

Governor Rick Scott stopped by at 7:15am to talk about spending, taxes, and job creation.  Hear the interview here.

A sigh of relief for an entire community in Middleburg, as a man wanted for murder is found dead.  50-year-old Enrique Prim apparently shot himself in his backyard shed. Cops say Prim shot two young people, killing 18 year-old Cameron Conley.  A 20 year-old man was hurt. 

A disgusting case of child neglect.  Two young girls left to live alone in a tent with only the family dog, with no food or water.  Cops in Union County say the parents were getting drug treatment at a methadone clinic when the girls were found wandering in the woods.  The girls were hungry and thirsty, but otherwise OK.  They're now in the custody of the DCF.

A university of Alabama lineman is found dead in Fernandina Beach.  21 year-old Aaron Douglas was a junior college transfer.  No word on the cause of death.

Our Top National Story:  From bad to worse along the Mississippi.  Federal engineers are close to opening a massive spillway that would protect Baton Rouge and New Orleans, but flood hundreds of thousands of acres in Louisiana's Cajun country.

More politicians are seeing the pictures of Osama bin Laden after his death. Florida Senator Bill Nelson says there it no doubt that it was bin Laden.  While he supports the President's decision to keep the pictures private now, Nelson says they should be released as long as it won't expose Americans to harm.

Retalliation for the bin Laden kill...a pair of suicide  bombers have exacted an especially bloody toll in an attack on recruits leaving a paramilitary training center in Pakistan today. At least 80 people, including 66 recruits, died in the strike claimed by the Taliban as retaliation for bin Laden's death. 

Senator Marco Rubio stops by the Sean Hannity show on WOKV, saying that raising the debt ceiling would be catastrophic.  He says Congress needs to find other ways to balance the budget.

The long-term problems of Social Security will be getting some attention today as the trustees who oversee that
program and Medicare release their annual finance reports. For now, Congress is putting off changes to Social Security.

New ethics allegations against a former Senator, who was warned to put his pants on and go home.  It's one of the many new details released by the Senate Ethics Committee, which released a report on John Ensign.  Hear Jamie Dupree explain whether Ensign may face criminal charges.

Tackling his biggest vulnerability head on...Mitt Romney says the health reform bill he signed as Governor of Massachusetts is a far cry from the Obama health reform law.  But Jamie Dupree says Romney's speech may not have done away with concerns about his Presidential bid.
