STARTS NOW. >> A BUSY SATURDAY EVENING ALONG WOODWARD AVENUE TAKES A
DANGEROUS TURN WHEN A TEENAGE
DRIVER REFUSES TO STOP FOR
POLICE, LEADING THEM ON A HIGH
SPEED CHASE. GLAD YOU’RE WITH US
FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT SIX. I’M
DEVIN SCILLIAN, I’M KIMBERLY
GILL.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE SAW THIS
CHASE HAPPENING AS THEY WERE OUT
SHOPPING OR GETTING A BITE TO
EAT ALONG WOODWARD, AND IT
WASN’T JUST THE MAIN ROAD. THIS
DRIVER SPED THROUGH
NEIGHBORHOODS AS WELL. SHAWN LEY
SAW PART OF THIS AS IT HAPPENED
AND JOINS US LIVE WITH A CLOSER
LOOK. SHAWN
>> KIM. MY KIDS WERE OUTSIDE A
LOT AND WE HEARD THIS COMING.
COULD NOT BELIEVE OUR EYES WHEN
THIS DRIVER WHO HAS HIS LICENSE
FOR JUST ONE YEAR, HE’S 17,
ROARS RIGHT PAST US. POLICE
TRYING TO SLOW HIM DOWN. LOOK,
WE GOT A 17 YEAR OLD OUT HERE ON
WOODWARD PUTTING COUNTLESS LIVES
IN DANGER. AT 730 SATURDAY
EVENING, I WANTED TO KNOW WHAT
THIS LOOKED LIKE AND WHAT IT WAS
ALL ABOUT FROM IN-CAR CAMERA
FROM ROYAL OAK. ROYAL OAK POLICE
MEETING WITH ME A SHORT TIME
AGO. WATCH THIS. WE HAVE THIS
VIDEO OF A WILD POLICE PURSUIT
UP AND DOWN WOODWARD AVENUE IN
ROYAL OAK AND BIRMINGHAM. THIS
PAST SATURDAY EVENING. THE
DRIVER OF THIS SOUPED UP
CHRYSLER 300 FISHTAILING
SPEEDING AND GUNNING THAT ENGINE
OUT OF THE WOODWARD CORNER
SHOPPING AREA AT WOODWARD AND 13
MILE, RIPPING RIGHT IN FRONT OF
A ROYAL OAK POLICE OFFICER. AND
THE MOMENT HE TRIES TO MAKE A
TRAFFIC STOP, THE DRIVER DOES
NOT STOP SPEEDING AWAY ON A BUSY
WOODWARD AVENUE. AND CHECK IT
OUT. THAT DRIVER HITS TURNAROUND
AFTER TURNAROUND, GOING SOUTH ON
WOODWARD, THEN NORTH GOING
THROUGH NEIGHBORHOODS, ROARING
RIGHT PAST ME AND MY SONS. MY
DAUGHTER WITH A FRIEND TOOK THIS
VIDEO OF ROYAL OAK POLICE
FINALLY PUTTING A STOP TO IT.
>> THIS IS WHAT OUR OFFICERS OUT
THERE LOOKING FOR. THIS IS
RECKLESS DRIVING, CARELESS
DRIVING, SPEEDING, DRAG RACING,
ALL THESE PROBLEMS THAT WE’VE
BEEN HAVING ON WOODWARD. BUT
WITH THIS DANGEROUS DRIVING, WE
TAKE, STRICT ENFORCEMENT.
>> I WANTED TO SEE EVERYTHING
THIS DANGEROUS DRIVER DID FROM
ROYAL OAK POLICE CRUISER
CAMERAS. WE WERE GIVEN A
FIRSTHAND LOOK AT HOW THIS
LOOKED TO POLICE THAT NIGHT.
>> GLADYS TIRES GOT FLATTENED
AND WERE FLAT WHEN HE WAS GOING
THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO SLOW
THEM DOWN A LITTLE BIT, BUT, YOU
KNOW, VERY DANGEROUS TO SEE OUR
CARS ON EACH SIDE OF THE ROAD.
SOMEBODY STEPS OUT AND SOMETHING
COULD HAPPEN. THE DRIVER, A 17
YEAR OLD FROM CHESTERFIELD,
PUTTING COUNTLESS LIVES IN
DANGER ON THE ROAD. JUST GLAD IN
THE END THAT WE ARE.
>> BACK HERE LIVE A HOMEOWNER.
PEOPLE ARE JUST SO SICK OF THIS.
AS SEEN ON THAT VIDEO. THROWING
THINGS AT THE CAR, TRYING TO GET
HIM TO SLOW DOWN ON A SIDE
STREET OVER HERE. I ASKED
POLICE, YOU KNOW, WHY DID YOU
CHASE? THEY SAID, LISTEN, WE HAD
TO GET THIS GUY OFF THE ROAD. IT
WAS BUSY OUT HERE. THERE’S AN
ICE CREAM PLACE RIGHT DOWN THE
STREET WHERE PEOPLE LINE UP WITH
THEIR FAMILIES AND KIDS. YOU
KNOW, ONE FALSE MOVE AND TUMBLE
INTO THAT CROWD. ABSOLUTE
DISASTER. THE KID COULD HAVE
KILLED HIMSELF IN HIS 19 YEAR
OLD PASSENGER. POLICE COULD HAVE
GOTTEN HURT. REALLY DANGEROUS
STUFF, GUYS. SO 17 YEARS OLD.
HE’S BEEN IN CHILDREN’S VILLAGE
SINCE SATURDAY. HE HAD A COURT
HEARING TODAY TO GET THE BALL
ROLLING ON MULTIPLE WHAT COULD
BE MULTIPLE FELONIES. NOW BACK
TO YOU.
>> INCREDIBLE. SEAN, I KNOW IT’S
BEEN A POINT OF EMPHASIS TOO
LATELY FOR POLICE IN ROYAL OAK
AND BIRMINGHAM TO CRACK DOWN ON
THIS KIND OF THING.
>> LOOK, WEATHER IS NICE. PEOPLE
LIKE TO SHOW OFF THEIR CARS.
IT’S THE MOTOR CITY A LOT OUT
HERE THOUGH. IT HAS TO DO WITH
REVVING THEIR ENGINES, DANGEROUS
DRIVING IT. SOMETIMES NEIGHBORS
ARE SICK OF IT. BUSINESSES ARE
SICK OF IT. POLICE HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO CRACK DOWN ON IT. AND
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE
CRACKING DOWN ON. WHEN THIS GUY
DID WHAT HE DID ON SATURDAY.
YEAH
>> AND YOU HAD A FRONT ROW SEAT
AND YOUR CHILDREN. ALL RIGHT,
SEAN, WE APPRECIATE IT.
>> A WARREN FATHER HAS BEEN
CHARGED IN CONNECTION WITH HIS
EIGHT YEAR OLD SON ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTING HIMSELF. THIS HAPPENED
LAST FRIDAY IN A NEIGHBORHOOD
NEAR TEN MILE AND HOOVER. POLICE
SAY THE CHILD GOT A HOLD OF AN
IMPROPERLY STORED GUN AND SHOT
HIMSELF IN THE HEAD. NOW, AT
LAST CHECK AT LAST CHECK. THE
CHILD WAS STILL IN CRITICAL
CONDITION. THEO NICHOLLS NOW
FACES A NUMBER OF CHARGES,
INCLUDING SECOND DEGREE CHILD
ABUSE, FIREARM SAFE STORAGE
VIOLATION, POSSESSION OF A
FIREARM BY A PROHIBITED PERSON
IS BOND WAS SET AT $250,000
CASH, DUE BACK IN COURT LATER
THIS MONTH. THERE’S A LINGERING
SENSE OF SHOCK OVER THE CRASH
THAT KILLED TWO CHILDREN OVER
THE WEEKEND AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY
IN MONROE COUNTY, AS WE AWAIT
CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST THE
SUSPECTED DRUNK DRIVER.
>> THERE’S NEW INFORMATION ON
THE VICTIMS OF THIS TRAGEDY.
VICTOR WILLIAMS IS IN BERLIN
TOWNSHIP WITH THE NEW
DEVELOPMENTS AS WELL.
>> ALL OF THIS WAS JUST REALLY A
TRAGIC SITUATION THAT TOOK PLACE
RIGHT HERE AT THIS BOAT CLUB.
AND THIS IS ALMOST HEARTBREAKING
TO SEE THIS MEMORIAL FOR ALL OF
THE VICTIMS, INCLUDING THOSE TWO
CHILDREN THAT ENDED UP PASSING
AWAY. BUT FINALLY, WE’RE
STARTING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE
VICTIMS. A TERRIBLE, TERRIFYING
AND HEARTBREAKING SITUATION IN
MONROE COUNTY HAS THE COMMUNITY,
STILL REELING FROM THE LOSS OF
TWO SIBLINGS WHO TRAGICALLY DIED
AT SWAN BOAT CLUB AFTER 66

INCIDENT. WE NOW KNOW THE NAMES
OF THE DECEASED, EIGHT YEAR OLD
ALANA PHILLIPS AND FOUR YEAR OLD
ZANE PHILLIPS. TRAGICALLY PASSED

AS FOR THE DRIVER, PEOPLE ARE
PATIENTLY WAITING FOR CHARGES TO
BE ANNOUNCED AND ONCE AGAIN,
THAT ARRAIGNMENT HEARING IS SET
FOR TOMORROW. AT SOME POINT, OR
AT LEAST EXPECTED TO BE
HAPPENING TOMORROW. BUT ONCE
THAT DOES TAKE PLACE, WE’LL KEEP
EVERYONE UPDATED ON WHAT TAKES
PLACE IN THE COURTROOM. VICTOR
WILLIAMS, LOCAL 4.
>> WELL, OKAY, VICTOR, THANK
YOU.
>> A WORLD WAR TWO PILOT FROM
DETROIT HAS BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR
AFTER BEING LISTED FOR DECADES
NOW. IS MISSING. SECOND
LIEUTENANT JOHN MCLAUGHLIN
PILOTED A B-24 LIBERATOR AS PART
OF THE 436TH BOMBARDMENT
SQUADRON ON DECEMBER 1ST, 1943.
THEY FLEW A MISSION FROM A TOWN
IN INDIA TO A RAILROAD YARD NEAR
RANGOON, THE COUNTRY KNOWN AS
BURMA, THEN WHERE THEY REACHED
THE TARGET, THAT PLANE WAS SHOT
DOWN, NEVER SEEN AGAIN. THE CREW
OF EIGHT MEN ALL DECLARED
MISSING IN ACTION UNTIL 1947,
WHEN IT WAS LEARNED THAT
VILLAGERS HAD BURIED THE BODIES
IN TWO LARGE GRAVES, BUT THE
REMAINS FINALLY RECOVERED AND
INTERRED AS UNKNOWNS IN THE
NATIONAL MEMORIAL CEMETERY OF
THE PACIFIC, WHICH, BY THE WAY,
IS IN HONOLULU. WELL, RECENTLY,
DNA ANALYSIS CONFIRMED ONE OF
THOSE UNKNOWNS AS MCLAUGHLIN AND
HIS FAMILY WAS BRIEFED. SECOND
LIEUTENANT JOHN MCLAUGHLIN
JUNIOR WILL BE BURIED USING HIS
REAL NAME THIS SUMMER ON FORT
LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS.
>> ALL RIGHT. WE’VE HANDED
DOWNTOWN DETROIT OVER TO THE
NFL, AND IT’S BECOME A MASSIVE
NFL LANDMARK AS WE COUNT DOWN
JUST A BIT MORE THAN THREE DAYS
UNTIL THE CHICAGO BEARS GO ON
THE CLOCK. THE BIG ATTRACTION
IS, OF COURSE, THE GIANT STAGE
BUILT OVER AT CAMPUS MARTIUS.
BUT THERE ARE FUN THINGS
HAPPENING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE DRAFT FOOTPRINT. TALKING
ABOUT HART PLAZA, OF COURSE,
WHERE WE FIND ROD MELONI AMID
SET UP FOR THE NFL DRAFT
EXPERIENCE.
>> SO WE’RE HERE IN HART PLAZA.
IT’S BEEN TAKEN OVER BY THE NFL,
BUT BEFORE WE START TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE SPECTACULAR HART
PLAZA FOUNTAIN, BEEN REDONE FOR
THE NFL DRAFT. AND THEN IF
YOU’RE AN NFL FAN, TAKE A LOOK
OVER HERE. SUPER BOWL RINGS, ONE
FROM EVERY SINGLE TEAM THAT’S
WON ONE. NEXT TO IT, THE VINCE
LOMBARDI TROPHY. THAT’S GOING TO
BE SOMETHING COOL TO BE ABLE TO
SEE THAT AS WELL. THEY TELL US
THAT IF YOU’VE COME FOR
AUTOGRAPHS, YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY
BE GUARANTEED TO GET ONE HERE.
AND THEN OVER HERE AT THE
GALLERY, THEY HAVE LOCKER ROOMS
NOW. THEY HAVE MOCK UPS OF A
LOCKER FROM EVERY SINGLE TEAM.
GIVE YOU A HINT BECAUSE WE’VE
BEEN IN THERE. AIDAN
HUTCHINSON’S AND RASHAN GARY
FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
NOW PLAYING FOR GREEN BAY. IT’S
ALL IN HERE. BUT THIS IS JUST
THE BEGINNING OF THE STUFF THAT
THEY’RE SHOWING US HERE. WHILE
THEY’LL PICK NAMES ABOUT A HALF
MILE AWAY, NFL SENIOR EVENTS
DIRECTOR NIKKI EWELL POINTS OUT,
IT’S THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT THAT
MAKES UP WHAT WE CALL THE NFL
DRAFT PRESENTED BY BUD LIGHT.
>> BUT THIS IS THE CORE DRAFT
EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS THE FAN
FESTIVAL IS HERE AT HART PLAZA.
>> SO IT STARTS HERE ON THE
DETROIT RIVER ASTROTURF. GOING
UP OVER THERE. OVER HERE IS THE
LIONS TENT. THEY SAY IT’S THE
BIGGEST ONE THEY’VE EVER DONE
FOR A HOST TEAM. AND THEN IT
GOES ALL THE WAY UP WOODWARD TO
CAMPUS MARTIUS. SO IF YOU’RE
COMING DOWN AND YOU WANT TO SEE
SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR THE NFL,
YOU FOUND IT RIGHT HERE IN HART
PLAZA. ROD MELONI LOCAL 4 SURE
DID.
>> OKAY, ROD. THANK YOU. AND ONE
MORE DRAFT NOTE. BE SURE TO JOIN
US WEDNESDAY NIGHT AS WE GO LIVE
FROM THE DRAFT HERE IN DOWNTOWN
DETROIT FOR OUR ALL IN DRAFT
SPECIAL. IT STARTS AT 8 P.M.
THIS IS EARTH DAY.
>> MANY TAKE TIME TO REFLECT ON
THE STATE OF THE ENVIRONMENT.
THERE’S ALSO NEW PERSPECTIVE ON
THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF WHAT’S
CHANGED OVER THE YEARS. LET’S
TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT EARTH. THIS
IS YOU ARE HERE. A LIVE LOOK
FROM A SATELLITE IN SPACE. ALL
LOOKS SO SERENE. DOESN’T IT? BUT
WE KNOW THERE’S BEEN RECORD
BREAKING HEAT WAVES AND SEVERE
FLOODS AND WILDFIRES, ALL MADE
MORE SEVERE BY CLIMATE CHANGE.
AND A NEW STUDY SHOWS IT’S ALSO
AFFECTING GLOBAL INCOME.
TROUBLING RESULTS FROM A NEW
STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL
NATURE SAYING THERE IS NO WAY TO
AVOID SHORT TUM FINANCIAL PAIN,
EVEN IF GOVERNMENTS RAMP UP
THEIR EFFORTS TO TACKLE THE
CLIMATE CRISIS.
>> NOW, THE LAST SEVEN COMPLETE
YEARS UNITED STATES HAS REALLY
BROKEN SO MANY DIFFERENT RECORDS
IN TERMS OF WEATHER AND CLIMATE
EXTREMES, WITH THE COSTS IN
EXCESS OF 1.1 TRILLION, THE
DAMAGE TO PEOPLE’S HOMES, THE
INCREASED COST TO GROW AND
TRANSPORT, FOOD AND MENTAL
HEALTH TOLLS WILL BE A HIT ON
THE ECONOMY.
>> CLOSE TO 19% BY 2050. IN SOME
INSTANCES, THOSE WHO ARE
CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEM THE
LEAST WILL SUFFER THE MOST.
>> IT’S KIND OF LUCK OF
GEOGRAPHY IN A LOT OF THIS OR A
LACK OF LUCK.
>> THE MIDDLE EAST, NORTH AFRICA
AND SOUTH ASIA ARE THE REGIONS
MOST LIKELY TO SEE INCOME
REDUCTIONS, ACCORDING TO THE
REPORT.
>> IN SOME WAYS, THE EFFECTS OF
CLIMATE CHANGE WILL LIKELY BE
LARGER THERE, BOTH BECAUSE OF
THE HIGHER VULNERABILITY IN MANY
OF THESE REGIONS, BUT ALSO
BECAUSE, FRANKLY, THEY REPRESENT
GARGANTUAN DEPARTURES FROM THE
CONDITIONS THAT THESE PLACES ARE
TYPICALLY USED TO.
>> THE U.S, A HISTORICALLY LARGE
POLLUTER, WILL SEE A SMALLER
IMPACT THAN NEIGHBORING
COUNTRIES, BUT IT WON’T BE
SPARED FROM THE EFFECTS OF A
WARMING PLANET, ESPECIALLY FOR
YOUNGER GENERATIONS. DISASTERS
SOME OF WHICH ARE GREATLY
AMPLIFIED BY CLIMATE CHANGE, CAN
PUT THE SQUEEZE ON HOUSING
SUPPLIES, MAKING IT LESS
AFFORDABLE. NOW, THE REALLY
INTERESTING FINDING THE REPORT
PREDICTS A BABY BORN THIS YEAR
WILL SPEND AN ESTIMATED $33,000
MORE OVER THEIR LIFETIME ON FOOD
DUE TO DISRUPTIONS TO
AGRICULTURE AND SUPPLY CHAINS.
>> INTERESTING FINDINGS FROM THE
REPORT. ALL RIGHT, LET’S GET YOU
CAUGHT UP ON YOUR FORECAST. IT’S
AN IMPORTANT WEEK AND WE’RE
STARTING IT OFF ON A GOOD FOOT.
>> IT FEELS GOOD RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT KIM.
>> YES, IT DOES. AND WE’LL GET A
LITTLE RAIN TOMORROW. BUT THAT’S
BEFORE THE DRAFT OFFICIALLY. I
KNOW A LOT OF FOLKS ARE COMING
INTO TOWN NOW, BUT FOR THURSDAY
IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE COLD IN
THE MORNING BUT DRY BY THE
AFTERNOON. AND WE’VE GOT TEMPS
RIGHT NOW IN THE LOW 60S IN
HOWELL AND ALSO DOWNTOWN, 63 IN
PORT HURON AND ALSO IN MONROE.
SO TEMPS ARE ABOUT WHERE THEY
SHOULD BE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR.
OUR NORMAL HIGH 61 AND WE’RE
JUST A DEGREE OR SO ABOVE IT.
MID 60S AT CITY AIRPORT 62 METRO
ANN ARBOR, HOWELL 63, IN FLINT,
LAPEER AND IN SANDUSKY. WELL, IT
MIGHT BE CLOUDING UP WHERE YOU
LIVE RIGHT NOW AND LOOK ALMOST
AS IF IT’S ABOUT TO RAIN. BUT
IT’S NOT. YOU CAN SEE BACK OUT
TO THE WEST, GRAND RAPIDS,
KALAMAZOO, EVEN THOUGH IT’S
CLOUDY THERE, IT’S JUST DRY. SO
THE MOISTURE IS WELL OFF TO OUR
WELL OFF TO THE WEST, HEADED
AGAIN TO THE EAST. HERE IN METRO
DETROIT. SHOULD BE HERE ABOUT
4:00 IN THE MORNING. SO WE HAVE
SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE WE HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT ANY RAIN. LET’S TALK
ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE TREND OVER
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. WE TAKE A
BRIEF DIP WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
, BUT BY THIS WEEKEND WE’RE BACK
INTO THE 70S. NOT BEFORE WE GET
A LITTLE FROST. WE’LL TALK ABOUT
