Script Broadcast

Eastern snow storm leaves hundreds of thousands without power Sunday morning.
More than 300,000 people from Pennsylvania to Virginia were without electricity after the blizzard brought down many power lines.
According to the National Weather Service, about 26.5 inches of snow fell in Wilmington, Del. Utility companies are reporting more than 19,000 residents in Delaware were without power Sunday afternoon.
On a brighter note, the state of Delaware has a star in the making in David Sills after committing to USC at an unprecedented young age.
The 13-year-old, 6'0” tall quarterback is receiving a full-ride scholarship to his dream school to play college ball beginning in 2015.
USC head football coach Lane Kiffin made the scholarship offer after viewing video of the young phenom provided to him by Sills' personal coach, Steve Clarkson.
Clarkson feels Sills is better than current USC quarterback Matt Barkley and former Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen when they were his age.
Sills and his father, David Sills IV, plan to fly out to Los Angeles in the coming weeks to meet Kiffin.
Staying in the Los Angeles area, three separate shootings have left three dead in South Los Angeles, early Sunday morning.
The first shooting took place after midnight when a 19-year-old man was gunned down in front of a residence in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Police feel it is gang-related.
The second shooting left a man in his 30s dead after a bullet to the head. The crime took place in Crenshaw at 3:50 a.m.
The third shooting, around 4:30 a.m., saw two brothers being ambushed by two males and two females in Jefferson Park. One brother was killed while the other is in critical condition. Police believe this to be gang-related.
In international news, a man from Malawi, Africa, is under arrest after voicing his support for gay rights.
Peter Sawali, 21, was arrested after putting up posters on a busy road in the city of Blantyre that read, “Gay rights are human rights.”
Homosexuality is illegal in Malawi, and anyone who promotes and/or participates in any homosexual acts can go to prison for up to 14 years if found guilty.
In December, Steven Monjeza, 26, and Tiwonge Chimbalanga, 20, were arrested and charged with public indecency after becoming engaged in Malawi.
International human rights organizations are protesting the constitution of Malawi after the arrests of Monjeza and Chimbalanga.
