FIRST AT FOUR. TARGETING A SCHOOL SECURITY GUARD. WE HAVE THE JUDGE’S DECISION ON A
LAWSUIT CONNECTED TO THE OXFORD
HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING, ALSO
ILLEGAL FLIP FLOP FROM FORMER
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, WHY HE
IS DOING SOMETHING HE ONCE SAID.
INNOCENT PEOPLE JUST DON’T DO
AND HERE’S KIM DEGUILIO. IT’S A
DIFFERENT TYPE OF DOG TRAINING
THAT YOUR DOG LIKELY HAS AN
EXPERIENCE. I’M TALKING ABOUT
LEARNING HOW TO DETECT
EXPLOSIVES. I’LL TAKE YOU TO L.
C. A TESTING IS HAPPENING TODAY
AND I’LL SHOW YOU HOW IT ALL
WORKS. NICE AND QUIET HERE IN
METRO DETROIT. THERE A FEW
SHOWERS DOWN TO OUR SOUTH, BUT A
COLD FRONT IS COMING, AND THAT
HAS CHANGED THE FORECAST JUST A
LITTLE BIT. WE’LL TALK ABOUT IT
COMING UP FIRST AT FOUR. LIVE
FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4
NEWS FIRST AT FOUR STARTS NOW.
GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M KAREN DREW
FIRST AT FOUR. A SCHOOL SECURITY
GUARD HAS NOW BEEN ADDED AS A
DEFENDANT IN THE LAWSUIT AGAINST
THE OXFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT. A
JUDGE APPROVED THE MOTION TODAY
AFTER IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN FILED
BY ATTORNEY BEN JOHNSON LAST
WEEK, HE SAID SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
SHOWS THE SECURITY GUARD MAY
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP THE
GUNMAN AT ONE POINT DURING THE
SHOOTING AT OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
LAST NOVEMBER. WE ARE TOLD THE
VIDEO SHOWS HER OPENING THE DOOR
TO A BATHROOM WITH THE ALLEGED
GUNMAN INSIDE AND THEN WALKING
AWAY. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
REACH THE GUARD FOR HER RESPONSE
TO THESE CLAIMS. TESTIMONY
UNDERWAY IN THE RETRIAL OF TWO
MEN ACCUSED OF PLOTTING TO
KIDNAP GOVERNOR GRETCHEN
WHITMER. BOTH SIDES STARTED WITH
OPENING STATEMENTS REGARDING
ADAM FOX AND BARRY CROFT JUNIOR
THIS MORNING. PROSECUTORS SAY
THEY WERE READY TO ACT ON A PLAN
TO GRAB WITTMER. THE DEFENSE
MAINTAINS THERE WAS NO PLAN AND
NO CRIME EARLIER THIS YEAR JURY
COULD NOT REACH A VERDICT FOR
FOX AND CROFT. TWO OTHERS WERE
ACQUITTED, BUT ANOTHER TWO
DEFENDANTS PLEADED GUILTY. AS
PART OF A PLEA DEAL. SHAWN LEY
IS AT THE COURTHOUSE THIS
AFTERNOON IN GRAND RAPIDS, AND
WE’LL BRING YOU HIGHLIGHTS FROM
TODAY’S TESTIMONY LIVE AT FIVE.
FRUSTRATION IS GROWING THIS
AFTERNOON ALONG THE HURON RIVER
OVER A CHEMICAL RELEASE INTO THE
WATER, AND THE STATE JUST ISSUED
VIOLATIONS AGAINST THE
MANUFACTURING COMPANY INVOLVED
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT,
GREAT LAKES AND ENERGY SERVED
NOTICES TO TRY BAR MANUFACTURING
. YESTERDAY IT WAS CITED FOR
FAILING TO IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY
THE STATE AFTER DISCOVERING THAT
DISCHARGE, SENDING AN
UNAUTHORIZED DISCHARGE OF
POLLUTANTS TO THE WATER
TREATMENT FACILITY. AND FAILING
TO MAINTAIN AN UPDATED PLAN TO
PREVENT POLLUTION. THE COMPANY
HAS 10 DAYS TO RESPOND. MANY
PEOPLE WHO LIVE ALONG THE RIVER
ARE CALLING FOR MORE ACTION.
SHUT THEM DOWN. NOT DOWN, DOWN
THEM DOWN. DOWN THIS PROTEST WAS
HELD IN MILFORD WILL HAVE
EXPANDED COVERAGE OF THEIR
DEMANDS AT SIX. WE’VE ALSO
REACHED OUT TO TRY BAR FOR A NEW
RESPONSE. THE LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS AND WE’RE WAITING
TO HEAR BACK HISTORIC
ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY FROM FORD AND
DTE ENERGY. THE AUTOMAKER IS
MAKING THE LARGEST EVER
RENEWABLE ENERGY PURCHASE FROM A
UTILITY. THE PURCHASE THROUGH
DTS. MICHIGAN GREEN POWER
PROGRAM WILL ADD 650 MEGAWATTS
OF NEW SOLAR ENERGY TO THE
AUTOMAKERS. MICHIGAN FOOTPRINT
WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR TO AVOID UP
TO 600,000 TONS OF CARBON
DIOXIDE EMISSIONS FROM HIS PLANS
TO MAKE A PREVIOUSLY ANNOUNCED A
GOAL TO POWER ALL OF ITS GLOBAL
FACILITIES WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY
BY 2035. FORD SAYS THIS IS A BIG
MOVE. OR AGREEMENT WITH DT WILL
MEAN THAT SOON ALL THE FORD
ELECTRICITY IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN, THE POWERS ALL THESE
HUGE PLANTS. ALL OF OUR POWER
TRAIN PLANTS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. WILL NOW BE ATTRIBUTED.
TO CLEAN SOURCES OF ENERGY. AND
THAT IS A REALLY BIG DEAL FOR
OUR COMMUNITY, AND OUR COMPANY
SAYS IT WILL GO COMPLETELY
CARBON NEUTRAL BY THE YEAR 2050.
WE’VE HAD OUR UPS AND DOWNS THIS
SUMMER, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE
IN A PRETTY GOOD PLACE IN THE
FOREWARNED FORECAST FOR TONIGHT.
LET’S CHECK IN WITH
METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS. KIM
KAREN, IT IS JUST BEAUTIFUL
OUTSIDE. IT’S REALLY BEEN ONE OF
THE BEST WEEK SO FAR OF THE
SUMMER. WE HAVE TEMPERATURES
RIGHT NOW, EXACTLY WHAT WE
EXPECTED THEM TO BE. IT’S 83 OUT
OF METRO AIRPORT. THE FORECAST
HIGH TODAY WAS 84. I EXPECT US
TO HIT THAT HERE WITHIN THE NEXT
HOUR 85 AT CITY AIRPORT, LITTLE
COOLER UP IN PONTIAC AND ALSO IN
MOUNT CLEMENS WITH TEMPS RIGHT
NOW IN THE UPPER SEVENTIES.
AUDIENCE TAKE ON THE TIGERS
AGAIN TONIGHT AND WOW, WHAT A
GORGEOUS NIGHT OUT OF THE
BALLPARK. EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE
TICKETS YOU MIGHT WANT TO THINK
ABOUT GOING OUT AND GOING
TONIGHT AND GETTING THOSE
TICKETS BECAUSE WE DON’T GET
MANY DAYS LIKE THIS AT THE
BALLPARK. IT’S JUST GOING TO BE
GORGEOUS, LOW HUMIDITY TONIGHT.
76 1ST PITCH IS AT 7 10 AND THEN
BY THE END OF THE GAME AROUND 10
O’CLOCK TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN
THE MID SIXTIES. LITTLE CHANGE A
LITTLE TWEAK FOR THE WEEKEND
FORECAST. WE’RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT THAT IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. ALRIGHT. THANK YOU,
KIM. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD
TRUMP DID SOMETHING TODAY. HE
USED TO SAY INNOCENT PEOPLE JUST
DON’T DO. MR TRUMP PLEADED THE
FIFTH AMENDMENT WHILE FACING
QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS BUSINESS
DEALINGS. THE HIGH STAKES
CONFRONTATION HAPPENED IN NEW
YORK, KIMBERLY GILL IN THE
NEWSROOM TO TALK ABOUT WHAT’S
CHANGED FOR THE FORMER PRESIDENT
. KIM KAREN, THE FORMER
PRESIDENT SAYS HE’S CHANGED HIS
MIND BECAUSE HIS FAMILY AND
COMPANY HAVE BECOME THE TARGETS
OF WHAT HE CALLS A POLITICALLY
MOTIVATED WITCH HUNT. IT’S A
DEFENSE THAT HE HAS USED MANY
TIMES BEFORE CAMERAS WERE
ROLLING AS TRUMP HEADED. TO THE
OFFICES OF NEW YORK’S ATTORNEY
GENERAL. SHE’S BEEN
INVESTIGATING WHETHER TRUMP’S
COMPANY USED FRAUDULENT OR
MISLEADING ASSET VALUATIONS TO
GAIN SEVERAL ECONOMIC BENEFITS.
THIS IS A CIVIL INVESTIGATION,
BUT TRUMP HAS TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT WHAT HE SAYS, BECAUSE
THERE IS A PARALLEL CRIMINAL
INVESTIGATION GOING ON TO AT THE
MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S
OFFICE. TRUMP HAS ALWAYS DENIED
ANY WRONGDOING BUT DIDN’T ANSWER
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S QUESTIONS
UNDER OATH TODAY. SO HERE’S
WHERE THINGS STAND WITH THE
INVESTIGATION. RIGHT NOW,
SOURCES TELL THE ASSOCIATED
PRESS. TRUMP’S OLDEST CHILDREN,
DONALD JR. AND IVANKA TESTIFIED
IN RECENT DAYS, HIS SON, ERIC,
TESTIFIED BACK IN 2020 COURT
PAPERS SHOW, HE INVOKED THE
FIFTH AMENDMENT MORE THAN 500
TIMES. ATTORNEY GENERAL LETICIA
JAMES HAS SAID HER OFFICE IS
NEARING THE END OF THE
INVESTIGATION, AND THE FORMER
PRESIDENT’S DEPOSITION WAS ONE
OF THE FINAL MISSING PIECES,
DEPENDING ON THE EVIDENCE THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL COULD BRING A
LAWSUIT SEEKING FINANCIAL
PENALTIES AGAINST TRUMP OR HIS
COMPANY, OR EVEN BANNED THEM
FROM BEING INVOLVED IN CERTAIN
TYPES OF BUSINESSES. THE NEW
YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL IS A
DEMOCRAT, BUT COURT FILING SAY
SHE HAS FOUND QUOTE SIGNIFICANT
EVIDENCE TRUMPS COMPANY
EXAGGERATED THE VALUE OF ITS
HOLDINGS OR MISSTATED WHAT LAND
WAS WORTH TO SLASH TAXES. TRUMP
CALLS THE MOVES COMMON PRACTICE
IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY. SO
KAREN WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON
WHAT HAPPENS AND WE’LL HAVE AN
UPDATE COMING UP ON THE NEWS AT
FIVE FOR NOW, WE’LL SEND IT BACK
TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU,
KIM TRUE. WELL HAS AMERICA’S
RECORD SETTING INFLATION FINALLY
PEAKED. NEW CONSUMER NUMBERS
SHOWS SMALL SIGNS OF HOPE.
CONSUMER PRICES WERE STILL UP
8.5% IN JULY COMPARED TO LAST
YEAR, BUT THAT’S DOWN FROM THE
9% JUMP WE SAW IN JUNE. FALLING
GAS PRICES HELPED EASE THE
PRESSURE, BUT MANY AMERICANS ARE
STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH THOSE
STILL RISING PRICES AND FOOD,
RENT AND MEDICAL SERVICES. AND
WE STILL HAVE A WAY TO GO. THE
FEDERAL RESERVE HAS SAID IT
NEEDS TO SEE A SERIES OF
DECLINING NUMBERS BEFORE IT WILL
CONSIDER PAUSING INTEREST RATE
HIKES. TODAY, PRESIDENT JOE
BIDEN SIGNED THE BIGGEST
EXPANSION OF VETERANS,
HEALTHCARE BENEFITS AND MORE
THAN 30 YEARS. THE NEW LAW
INCREASES VETERANS ACCESS TO
MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND
DISABILITY PAYMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO BURN PITS. THE MILITARY USED
THE PITS TO BURN WASTE, OFTEN
TOXIC NEAR ITS BASE IS EXPOSURE
TO THE SMOKE HAS BEEN BLAMED FOR
A VARIETY OF HEALTH PROBLEMS.
COMEDIAN AND ACTIVIST JOHN
STEWART WAS AMONG THE GUESTS ON
HAND. HE CAMPAIGNED TO HELP GET
THE BILL PASSED. WELL, MOST OF
US ARE HAPPY IF WE CAN GET OUR
DOGS. MAYBE JUST SIT, STAY BEG
FOR A TREAT, PERHAPS, BUT THESE
TALENTED CANINES ARE LEARNING TO
DO SO MUCH MORE. YOU MIGHT SEE
SOME OF THE GRADUATES THAT A BIG
SPORTING EVENT OR PERHAPS THE
AIRPORT, SHOWING OFF WHAT THEY
LEARNED AWARDS KIM DEGUILIO HERE
TO SHOW US WHAT IT TAKES TO GET
CERTIFIED FOR LIFE SAVING JOBS.
EXPLOSIVE DETECTIVE. CANINE
TEAMS CAN LITERALLY SAVE
THOUSANDS OF LIVES BY PREVENTING
THINGS LIKE BOMBINGS OR OTHER
CATASTROPHIC EVENTS. BUT BEFORE
THEY CAN GET TO WORK, THEY HAVE
TO BE CERTIFIED TO DO SO. WHICH
BRINGS US HERE TO LITTLE CAESARS
ARENA. THEY MAY BE ABSOLUTELY
ADORABLE. BUT THESE DOGS ARE NOT
HERE TO BE PLAYED WITH OR PET.
THEY’RE WORKING. THE GOAL IS TO
ENSURE THAT CANINE TEAMS AROUND
THE COUNTRY ARE ABLE TO FIND
CONTEMPORARY THREATS WORKING TO
DETECT 10 DIFFERENT TYPES OF
EXPLOSIVES THAT CAN BE FOUND
INSIDE OF THESE TINS. WHAT IT
DOES IS VALIDATE THAT NO MATTER
WHAT TRAINING PROGRAM YOU GO
THROUGH THAT YOU’RE PROFICIENT
AT FINDING THESE DIFFERENT
EXPLOSIVES. JAMES LEAD
INSTRUCTOR FOR THE ATF NATIONAL
ODOR RECOGNITION TESTING PROGRAM
EXPLAINS WHY HIS TEAM TRAVELS
AROUND THE COUNTRY TESTING THESE
BOMB DOGS FOR THEIR PROFICIENCY
. THE MOST COMMON FINAL RESPONSE
IS THE DOG SITS NEXT TO THE
SOURCE OF THE EXPLOSIVES. EACH
DOG WALKS AROUND A CIRCLE
SNIFFING INTO EACH CAN. THE DOG
WILL THEN HAVE TO DISCRIMINATE
BETWEEN EXPLOSIVE AND NON
EXPLOSIVE ODORS. THEN REWARDED
WITH A TREAT OR A TOY AND
POSITIVE AFFIRMATION. ONCE THESE
DOGS PAST THE NORTH TEST,
THEY’RE ABLE TO WORK AT LARGE
EVENTS WHERE EXPLOSIVES MAY BE
FOUND LIKE AN ATHLETIC EVENT,
WHETHER IT’S FOOTBALL,
BASKETBALL, BASEBALL PARADES,
CONCERTS, I SEE HIM IN THE
TRANSPORTATION ENVIRONMENT, BOTH
MASS TRANSIT LIKE TRAINS, BUT
ALSO AIRPORTS, UM, AND SO IT’S
PRETTY WIDESPREAD WHEREVER THERE
ARE LARGE PUBLIC GATHERINGS. AND
THERE’S THE POTENTIAL FOR A
THREAT. JAMES SAYS. TRAINING AND
TESTING LIKE THIS IS CRUCIAL TO
KEEPING THOSE LARGE EVENTS SAFE
. NOW, THESE DOGS HAVE TO BE SO
PRECISE WITH THIS TESTING THAT
IF THEY EVEN MISS ONE CANISTER
WITH EXPLOSIVES IN IT, THEN
THEY’LL FAIL. THE TEST REPORTING
FROM L C A. I’M KIM DEGUILIO
LOCAL 4. ALRIGHT THANK YOU,
KEVIN. BY THE WAY, IF THE DOG
FAILS THE TEST TWICE THEY CAN’T
RETEST FOR WHOLE ANOTHER YEAR.
AND WHILE IT IS A STRICT POLICY
, THE AGENCY’S THESE DOGS NEED
TO BE PERFECT BECAUSE ONE MISSED
