\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLASTING HOPE. CHERYL HUBBARD, WXII 12 NEWS. FROM TUCSON BACK TO THE PIEDMONT TRIAD AND BEYOND, HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT SOME OF THE OTHER BIG STORIES WE\u2019RE FOLLOWING TONIGHT AT HOME AND ACROSS THE COUNTRY, EIGHT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FOUND DEAD AND ONE IS STILL MISSING AFTER AN AVALANCHE DURING A BACKCOUNTRY SKIING EXPEDITION NEAR LAKE TAHOE IN CALIFORNIA. AUTHORITIES SAY THE AVALANCHE HAPPENED AROUND 1130 IN THE MORNING YESTERDAY AND WAS ABOUT A FOOTBALL FIELD IN LENGTH. SIX PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESCUED. THE MISSING PERSON IS BELIEVED TO BE DEAD.

MOORE, WHO IS A DEMOCRAT AND CONSIDERED BY SOME A POTENTIAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN 2028, FIRED BACK AT THESE CLAIMS TODAY, SAYING THE PIPE WAS FEDERALLY BUILT AND REGULATED AND THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN SLOW TO RESPOND TO THE STATE\u2019S REQUEST FOR HELP.
