1. Milwaukee reacts to the Pope's passing. The Vatican announced the pontiff’s death this morning. Pope Francis was 88 years old. This afternoon many are recalling his legacy, as the first pope from Latin America, and the first Jesuit to reach the pinnacle of church hierarchy. Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob just spoke about Pope Francis, his passing, and how he'll be remembered. Pope Francis wasn't without critics though. Some say he didn’t always go far enough in his groundbreaking steps to honor the poor and the vulnerable, seek to end conflicts, and protect the environment.
2. It's Patriots Day in Boston and with that comes the running of the oldest Marathon. Over 30,000 participants on the course for the 129th running of the 26.2-mile event that's like running from the Third Street Market Hall to the Delafield Hotel. An American woman has not won the race since 2018. An American man has not won the race since 2014.
3. An alert for car owners across the country. Criminals now have a new, high-tech way to steal your vehicle. The criminals copy your key fob. Last month, Milwaukee Police issued a warning about a troubling increase in car thefts involving key re-programmers. MPD reported a 90% increase in Nissan thefts through this method, though it's not just Nissans being stolen. A key fob copy can be made in just minutes. Cars made in 2020 or earlier are considered more vulnerable.
