Criminal case against mother of Cudahy student who brought gun to school dismissed
The criminal case against the mother of a Cudahy student who police say brought a gun to Lincoln Elementary School has been dismissed, according to online court records. Xiaoping Wang, 40, of Cudahy had been charged May 22 with leaving a loaded firearm near a child, a misdemeanor offense. At the initial appearance on May 23, Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Ana Berrios-Schroeder dismissed the case without prejudice, meaning prosecutors could refile it. The order came after the defense challenged the probable cause underlying the charge, according to online court records. The case against Nan Bin Li, 44, the child's father faces the same misdemeanor charge, moved forward on May 23. He pleaded not guilty, and a judge set a $1,000 signature bond, online court records show. A signature bond is a promise to appear for future court dates, with a monetary penalty if a defendant fails to do so. Defense attorney Craig Powell did not immediately respond to an email and voicemail seeking comment the morning of May 24. Li and Wang's child was charged in juvenile court earlier this month after police said a gun was found April 30 in the student's backpack at Lincoln Elementary School. The student told police the gun belonged to Li and had been in a nightstand drawer of the parents' bedroom, according to a criminal complaint. In a follow-up interview, the student said they found the gun a month earlier and had brought it to school twice, the complaint says. In Children's Court, the student is facing one felony count of possession of a firearm on school grounds, one misdemeanor count of possession of a dangerous weapon by a person younger than 18 and one misdemeanor count of pointing a firearm at another, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel previously reported.

CUDAHY, Wis. - A school board meeting about school safety in Cudahy got a little heated on Monday evening, May 12. What we know The debate centered around an incident in March, when police said a 12-year-old brought a handgun to Lincoln Elementary School. School leaders said the situation was handled immediately and safely. However, parents thought differently. They held a protest ahead of the meeting and signed up to speak during public comment. What they're saying "When a weapon enters a school, every second counts. So does every piece of information. Parents deserve to know the truth--immediately, fully, and without spin," said one parent. It was moments after that comment that things got tense. The parent who spoke brought along a guest, a woman who was not a district resident and had gone through a similar experience.

A former WHIO-TV reporter explained the challenges for pilots while landing at Reagan National Airport. This comes as search efforts continue after a passenger jet collided with a Black Hawk helicopter while trying to land at Ronald Reagan National Airport Wednesday night. [DOWNLOAD: Free WHIO-TV News app for alerts as news breaks] >>PHOTOS: Plane crashes into helicopter while trying to land at Reagan Airport We will have the latest information on this jet crash this morning on News Center 7 Daybreak starting at 4:25 a.m. RELATED CONTENT: Search, rescue efforts continue after passenger jet crashes into Army helicopter Passenger jet with 64 aboard collides with Army helicopter while landing at Reagan Airport near DC PSA, American Airlines issues statement after plane crash involving Black Hawk helicopter As reported on News Center 7 at 11:00, the PSA Airlines flight 5342 carried 60 passengers and four crew members. Three soldiers were on board the helicopter at the time of the crash. The Points Guy Aviation reporter Sean Cudahy, a former News Center 7 reporter, spoke with James Brown and Gabrielle Enright Wednesday night. He said the PSA Airlines Bombardier CRJ700 regional jet is the type of plane that flies frequently out of Dayton International Airport to Washington D.C. 'You picture the kind of small regional jet that you will often board as you are going to go on a commercial flight, that is the type of jet we are talking about,' he said. 'Those aircraft that maybe are too small to kind of put your bag in the overhead bin. That's the type of jet we're talking about. Certainly, one that thousands of people around the Miami Valley board every year.' Cudahy is from the DC area and has flown in and out of Reagan for years. He said pilots face a 'unique challenge' landing at Reagan National Airport. 'You got one of the busiest runways in the entire county and then you got this complex airspace,' he explained. 'Aircraft have tight restrictions on where they can fly over Washington D.C. Reagan National is located across from the Potomac, right across the river from D.C. You can see many of the D.C. landmarks from the runway there. There's an unusual path that these aircraft will take over the Potomac as they prepare to land. It's tightly regulated tightly congested airspace.' As for the investigation, Cudahy said the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) taking control of the investigation with a large presence. 'You are not going to see flights taking off or landing for some time there as you have this search and rescue situation going in the Potomac on what is a very cold night there in our nation's capital,' he said. Reagan Airport said on social media they do not expect flights to resume until at least 11 a.m. Thursday. We will update this story. [SIGN UP: WHIO-TV Daily Headlines Newsletter]
