CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Good Morning Coastal Bend,
It’s Michelle and Bryan Hofmann, your KRIS 6 Sunrise anchors — and we’re so glad to be starting this Tuesday with you.
A brand new day means new opportunities, new goals, and a fresh chance to make something great happen. Let’s make every day this week matter — and it all starts right now!
Here are your 6 Things to Know:
TAX DAY
- April 15 is the last day to file taxes
- You can still request a six-month extension
- Be sure to pay any taxes you owe to avoid penalties
It’s April 15th — and that means it’s Tax Day. If you’re not quite ready to file your federal taxes, don’t worry — you can still request a six-month extension. To do that, you’ll need to submit a 4868 Form today — and be sure to pay any taxes you owe to avoid penalties. However, if you happen to owe more than you have on hand, the IRS does offer payment plans, but those need to be set up ASAP! For more info on how to file or request that extension, just head to IRS.gov.
HIT AND RUN DRIVER SEARCH
- CCPD is still searching for the person who struck the horse carriage
- Investigators say they’re following up on several leads
- Surveillance footage is also being reviewed
Corpus Christi police are still searching for the driver — and the vehicle — involved in Sunday’s hit and run with a horse-drawn carriage. Investigators say they’re following up on several leads, including some from social media. One tip even suggests the vehicle may have been stolen. Surveillance footage from nearby cameras is also being reviewed. If you have any information, call Crime Stoppers at 361-888-TIPS. You can stay anonymous.
ROCKPORT FIRE FOLLOW-UP
- Investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire
- 18 homes and 21 buildings were destroyed.
- A total of 42 agencies joined forces
We’re continuing to follow the aftermath of last week’s massive fire in Rockport. Investigators are still working to figure out what started it.
