360 In The A.M: NCAA Finals, Gucci Mane Case Update, We Are Headed To The Moon

Gucci Mane's father faces life after a monitored kidnapping and robbery, with the rapper's ankle bracelet revealing everything.

The reset hits first. After the repeated Franchise Report bumper, the room slides into local news with jokes, noise, and somebody already bracing for the segment. Then the crash lands.
