Police officer responds to Trayvon Martin targets

PORT CANAVERAL, Fla. -- A police officer has been fired from his job in Port Canaveral, Florida after an incident at a target range.   

Officials say the officer brought target posters depicting an image of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old who was shot to death by a neighborhood watch volunteer in Florida last year.    

Later, Sergeant Ron King reportedly apologized to the Martin family in a YouTube video and said he created the poster as a way of getting officers to think before firing too quickly.

Cleveland Film Festival looking to break attendance record

CLEVELAND -- The Cleveland International Film Festival broke attendance records last year, so they made some changes to allow more people to attend.

This year they believe they may be on pace to be the largest in the city's history.

This marks the third year they've taken over all 10 of Tower City's screens, increasing 142 percent in size since 2003. They've featured about 350 films from 65 countries and are on expecting to add over $4 million to the local economy. 

The festival's associate director, Patrick Shepherd, says so far the talk has been about "Good Ol Freedom," a film that recounts the times of the Beatles secretary.

Cleveland: Looming Higbee's sale rekindles skywalk debate

CLEVELAND -- The debate about downtown skywalks is being rekindled by news that Rock Gaming intends to purchase its Higbee building casino home.

Forest City Enterprises now owns it.

That deal would increase the odds of a controversial downtown skyway between the casino and its garage getting built by likely resolving issues involving historic tax credits.

Most casino visitors interviewed by Channel 3 News expressed overwhelming support for a protected skywalk, sheltering them from rainy, cold and windy weather and reducing chances of pedestrian/car mishaps.

But skywalk opponents are ramping up their arguments that the skywalk would be an unsightly addition to a new downtown, would make the streets more dangerous by keeping visitors and eyes away, and make it harder for  merchants to succeed.

They also claim the skyway is at odds with Dan Gilbert's promise to have the casino be a catalyst for downtown activity and his redevelopment efforts for reviving Downtown Detroit.

Mayor Frank Jackson and Downtown's Councilman Joe Cimperman both support this particular skywalk but say they are not championing or advocating a network of skywalks and that this one makes sense.

Critics point out other cities, including Cincinnati and Baltimore, are in the midst of efforts to remove and dismantle skywalks that did not have the desired impact.
