9 segmentsGood afternoon. I'm Raphael Warnock. U.S. Central Command is denying reports of a possible missile strike on a U.S. Navy vessel on the Strait of Hormuz. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned Iran the U.S. is willing to respond if they do choose to fire on U.S. ships. And the U.S., we are just firing if fired upon. We are not the provocateurs here. But if the Iranians want to escalate here, we are willing to escalate. Overnight, Iranian state media said two missiles had struck the warship after it ignored warnings to halt. CENTCOM says no such attack occurred. It all comes the day after President Trump announced that a mission would begin today to escort stranded ships out of the narrow waterway.

That's Marinette County Sheriff Randy Miller. Authorities also confirm the person of interest. was a volunteer firefighter with the Grover Porterfield Fire Department, which is the same department that responded to the North Point Fire.
