THAT IN THAT BLACK SEDAN YOU
HAD AN ADULT AND THREE SMALL
CHILDREN BETWEEN SEVEN AND TEN.
THAT SEDAN WAS GOING SOUTHBOUND
HERE ON VAN DIKE FOR SOME
REASON, IT CROSSED OVER THE
CENTER LINE. POTENTIALLY, IT
WAS A BLOWN TIRE. POLICE AREN’T
SURE. AND IT WENT RIGHT INTO
THAT WHITE SUV. EVERYBODY GOT
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. YOU CAN
SEE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED OVER THERE
. BUT POLICE CONFIRMING FOR US

ARRIVED OUT HERE ON THE SCENE
TRYING TO GET THE CARS OUT OF
THE WAY. SIX IN VAN DIKE HAS
BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR A
SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME.
THIS EVENING. SO THEY’RE TRYING
TO GET IT OPEN AND GET TRAFFIC
MOVING OUT HERE AGAIN, WE ARE
ON DETROIT’S EAST SIDE. I’M
MARA MACDONALD, LOCAL 4. ALL
RIGHT, MARA, MORE BREAKING NEWS
ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE WHERE
WE’VE LEARNED TWO YOUNG MEN IN
THEIR LATE TEENS WERE SHOT IN A
DRIVE BY SHOOTING ON STRATHMORE
.
>> ONE IS LISTED IN CRITICAL
CONDITION AND THE OTHER IN
STABLE CONDITION. AS OF RIGHT
NOW, POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING.
NO WORD IF ANYONE IS IN
CUSTODY. WE’LL BRING YOU AN
UPDATE AS SOON AS WE LEARN
MORE.
>> TROY, POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING THE SHOOTING OF A
14 YEAR OLD BOY ON THE CITY’S
EAST SIDE. IN FACT, HE WAS IN
SURGERY EARLIER TODAY.
INVESTIGATORS SAY IT HAPPENED
THIS AFTERNOON ON REMINGTON
AVENUE NEAR DEQUINDRE. POLICE
SAY THERE WERE SOME KIDS
HANGING OUT AT THE HOME. ONE AS
OLD AS 19. THEY SAY SOMEONE HAD
A GUN AND THE 14 YEAR OLD ENDED
UP GETTING SHOT. WE ARE LOOKING
FOR UPDATES ON HIS CONDITION.
WE’LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THE
INVESTIGATION AS WELL.
>> ALSO IN THE CITY’S EAST
SIDE, A DETROIT POLICE OFFICER
IS RECOVERING AFTER BEING SHOT
IN THE LEG. THIS HAPPENED JUST
AFTER MIDNIGHT NEAR WHITE HILL
AND MERINGUE NOT TOO FAR FROM
KELLY. INVESTIGATORS SAY
OFFICERS WERE LOOKING INTO
REPORTS OF THREE MEN HANGING
OUT IN AN EMPTY APARTMENT
BUILDING WHERE THEY WEREN’T
SUPPOSED TO BE. WE’RE TOLD
OFFICERS APPROACHED ONE OF
THOSE MEN, FIRED A GUN. POLICE
FIRED BACK AND ONE OFFICER WENT
DOWN. RIGHT NOW, IT’S NOT CLEAR
WHOSE BULLET STRUCK THAT
OFFICER. POLICE ARE STILL
LOOKING FOR THOSE THREE MEN AND
SAY THEY FOUND A MARIJUANA GROW
OPERATION IN THAT BUILDING.
TONIGHT, LANSING POLICE ARE
RESPONDING TO A VIRAL VIDEO
THAT SHOWS A 12 YEAR OLD BOY
BEING DETAINED BY POLICE AND
QUESTIONED ABOUT A CRIME HE
DIDN’T COMMIT. IN A STATEMENT
POSTED TO FACEBOOK, THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS WAS,
QUOTE, AN UNFORTUNATE
MISUNDERSTANDING.
>> AND THAT DI’SHON BERNARD WAS
SIMPLY IN THE WRONG PLACE AT
THE WRONG TIME. APPARENTLY, THE
OFFICER DETAINED TYSHAWN
OUTSIDE HIS HOME WHILE
SEARCHING FOR A SUSPECT IN A
STRING OF CAR THEFTS. BOTH
TYSHAWN AND THE UNKNOWN SUSPECT
WERE WEARING A SIMILAR PAIR OF
NEON YELLOW GYM SHORTS AND
APPARENTLY THAT HAD AT LEAST A
BIT OF A HAND IN THE CONFUSION
. LAWYERS AND RELATIVES OF
TYSHAWN SAY HE’S BEEN
TRAUMATIZED BY THE EXPERIENCE,
AS THE LPD SAYS, THEY HOPE TO
PUT THE SITUATION BEHIND THEM.
DRIVERS CAN EXPECT MORE ROAD
CLOSURES THIS WEEKEND. IN FACT,
ONE OF THEM IS ALREADY IN
PLACE. IT STARTED AT 10:00
TONIGHT, A STRETCH OF 696 SHUT
DOWN IN OAKLAND COUNTY.
JACQUELINE FRANCIS WITH MORE ON
WHAT DRIVERS NEED TO KNOW.
JACQUELINE THESE CLOSURES WILL
AFFECT I-690 SIX BETWEEN
TELEGRAPH ROAD AND I-275.
>> HERE’S THE FULL BREAKDOWN.
MORE ORANGE CONES ARE HITTING
THE PAVEMENT ON I-690 SIX IN
OAKLAND COUNTY THE WEEKEND
CLOSURE BETWEEN I-275 AND
TELEGRAPH ROAD COMES SEVERAL
MONTHS INTO THE ONGOING 696
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT. WE HAVE
TRAFFIC DRIVING ON THE OLD PART
OF THE ROADWAY WHILE WE REBUILD
PART OF THE NEW ROADWAY AND
THAT OLD ROADWAY IS NOT HOLDING
UP VERY WELL. SO THIS WEEKEND
THEY’LL SHUT IT DOWN AND MAKE
SOME TEMPORARY FIXES. AND WHILE
IT’S CLOSED, WE’RE GOING TO
FILL IN POTHOLES AND DO A
LITTLE BIT OF PAVEMENT REPAIR
ON THE OLD PART OF THE ROAD,
STARTING NOW. EASTBOUND I-696
WILL BE CLOSED FROM I-275 TO
TELEGRAPH ROAD, REOPENING
SATURDAY EVENING, WHILE
WESTBOUND TRAFFIC WILL BE
CLOSED ALL WEEKEND LONG,
REOPENING FOR THE MONDAY
MORNING COMMUTE. IF YOU’RE
HEADING WESTBOUND AND YOU’LL
HAVE TO GET OFF AT TELEGRAPH
AND TAKE ONE OF THE MILE ROADS
AS AN ALTERNATIVE, MDOT IS
RECOMMENDING A EIGHT MILE AND
IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. MDOT
IS RECOMMENDING 5 TO 8 MILE.
WHILE IT’S NO DOUBT FRUSTRATING
THAT DRIVERS WILL BE SEEING
EVEN MORE CLOSURES WAS ON TOP
OF THE ONGOING CONSTRUCTION
PROJECT. MDOT OFFICIALS SAY
IT’S NECESSARY, BUT THAT’S A
ROADWAY THAT HANDLES PROBABLY
150,000 DRIVERS A DAY DURING
THE WEEKDAY.
>> AND IT’S BEEN KIND OF BEING
HELD TOGETHER FOR THE LAST 20
YEARS WITH REPAIRS. SO THAT
ROAD IS AT THE END OF ITS
LIFESPAN. BUT WHILE WE REBUILD
HALF OF IT LEAVING HALF SO
DRIVERS COULD USE THE ROADWAY,
THAT PART IS WHAT WE REALLY
HAVE TO DO, SOME TEMPORARY
REPAIRS ON LOOKING AT THE BIG
PICTURE, THIS I-696 PROJECT IS
A TWO YEAR PROJECT.
>> WE’RE STILL IN YEAR ONE, SO
THERE IS STILL A LONG ROAD
AHEAD. REPORTING IN SOUTHFIELD,
JACQUELINE FRANCIS, LOCAL 4.
>> JACQUELINE, THANK YOU.
TROOPS WITH THE NATIONAL GUARD
ARE ON THE GROUND IN HAWAII AS
THOSE WILDFIRES CONTINUE TO
BURN. TONIGHT, THE DEATH TOLL
IS AT 67. THOUSANDS HAVE BEEN
LEFT HOMELESS AND AN URGENT
EFFORT IS UNDERWAY TO GET LIFE
SAVING SUPPLIES TO THE AFFECTED
AREAS. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM NOW
IS THE HIGH WINDS. FIRE CREWS
AND RESCUERS ARE BATTLING GUSTS
UP TO 82MPH. THE IF ANYBODY IS
STILL OUT HERE, IT’S TIME TO GO
.
>> SO IT’S TIME TO GO.
>> I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FINAL
NUMBER IS GOING TO BE AND IT’S
GOING TO BE HORRIBLE AND TRAGIC
.
>> TONIGHT, CADAVER DOG SEARCH
TEAMS ARE ARRIVING FROM NEVADA
. THEIR MISSION WILL BE GRIM AS
FIRE OFFICIALS EXPECT THAT
DEATH TOLL TO RISE. AT LAST
CHECK, SIX FIRES ARE STILL
BURNING IN MAUI. AND THE BIG
ISLAND, ONE OF THOSE FIRES,
THOUGH, IS NOW 80% CONTAINED.
ALL RIGHT. BIG NIGHT DOWNTOWN
AS THE LIONS KICK OFF THE
PRESEASON SCHEDULE AGAINST THE
NEW YORK GIANTS.
>> KOBE LIVE OUTSIDE FORD FIELD
WHERE THE TEAM MADE SOME BIG
PLAYS IN THEIR OPENING NIGHT.
>> YES, IT WAS A SLOW START,
THOUGH, TO THIS GAME WITHOUT
THE STARTING OFFENSE AND
DEFENSE FOR THIS ONE. BUT THE
LIONS EVENTUALLY FOUND THEIR
FORM IN THIS GAME. A BIG
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAY AND THE
ROOKIES COMING UP BIG, TOO.
WE’VE GOT HIGHLIGHTS AND
POSTGAME LOCKER ROOM SOUND
