NEW LOCAL NEWS
1. UT ENROLLMENT
The University of Toledo is seeing a smaller student population this year. New numbers show 21,500 undergraduates and graduate students enrolled this semester. That compares with 22,624 last fall. UT's president Lloyd Jacobs says cost may be part of the reason for the decline. Despite that, the university says the student population is "academically stronger."
2. SKYCOP UPDATE
Toledo Police chief Derrick Diggs tells 13abc that as of Friday at least 20 Skycop cameras have been installed around the city. They are a portion of the 150 cameras that'll be put up in Toledo to monitor high crime areas. Officers will then monitor those live feeds to stop crimes in progress. No word on when the surveillance cameras will be operational. Memphis, Tennessee has a similar system that police say leads to an average of 100 arrests each year.

3. BRIDGE BOMB PLOT
(AP) - A federal judge has scheduled change-of-plea hearings for three of the four remaining defendants charged with plotting to bomb a highway bridge in Ohio.

4. BURNED WOMAN ARRESTS
(AP) - An Ohio sheriff has announced two additional arrests in the gruesome death of a woman found covered in burns and wailing in agony on the side of a rural road. A driver found 29-year-old Celeste Fronsman Aug. 26 on a road northeast of Zanesville. She had been raped and burned, and had a strap around her neck. She died two days later at a Columbus hospital.

6. APPLE HACKER
(AP) - The FBI is disputing a computer hacker group's claim that it stole personal identification data on millions of Apple device owners from an FBI agent's laptop.
