Good morning. It's Tuesday, Aug. 15. Orlando Magic fans can plot the games they want to catch as the NBA released its 2017-2018 season schedule.

In the wake of the deadly protests in Charlottesville that killed the daughter of a Brevard County man, Scott Maxwell looks at a law proposed by two Florida legislators that would have protected drivers who unintentionally hit pedestrians.

Finally, if you didn't catch Monday's launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 from Kennedy Space Center, watch the video and see photos here.
