Unfortunately a mass shooting broke out on Coney Island after the fireworks display, leaving 4 children and 4 adults shot, one woman remains in critical condition this morning. Just a few miles away, the iconic Brooklyn Bridge caught fire during the massive fireworks display over the East River, firefighters were able to put out the flames fairly quickly, but it was an alarming scene in the middle of the show. And over in Washington D.C., the main event, Trump’s rally speech was delayed until 11pm after severe storms threatened the area, forcing an evacuation of the huge crowd that had gathered on the mall, with organizers asking thousands to seek shelter.

| 0:24.2 | And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. Robs, I guess, weather added to a lot of this, but it was kind of like a weird night of happenings when it came to the 4th of July in the country's big 250th birthday. |
| 0:36.9 | Yeah, it felt I may be explosive in more ways than just the fireworks lighting up the sky. |
| 0:43.3 | It was an active, busy celebratory day. |
| 0:47.3 | But I guess with those celebrations came a lot of activity with Mother Nature. |

| 1:43.5 | And Coney Island is always a big family draw. |
| 1:45.9 | Yes. It begins, I believe, early on in the day. Coney Island is a mecca to go to here in New York |
