THIS INVESTIGATION. WAS PLAYING
OUT. WE’RE ALSO GOING TO SHOW
YOU VIDEO SHOWING OFFICERS
TAKING A LOOK FOR ALL THE
EVIDENCE THEY CAN FIND, BUT
WE’RE NOT SURE WHAT THAT
NEIGHBOR DISPUTE WAS ABOUT.
WHATEVER THE ISSUE WAS, IT WAS
SO BAD TO THE POINT WHERE ONE
PERSON DECIDED TO PULL OUT A
GUN. AND SHOOT THE OTHER RIGHT
HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET
NOW, JUST LIKE YOU SAID, RHONDA
. THIS ALL HAPPENED AT 1 20 AM
RIGHT HERE AND SHARING NEAR

TAKING SHOTS WERE FIRED. WE’RE
TOLD THAT IT TURNED INTO A
BARRICADED GUNMAN SITUATION WITH
THE SHOOTER GOING BACK INTO THE
HOUSE AFTER A BRIEF STANDOFF, HE
WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. THE ONLY
THING THAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE
VICTIM AT THIS POINT IN TIME IS
THAT HE IS AN ADULT MALE IN HIS
TWENTIES, NEIGHBORS HERE WERE
TAKEN BACK BY THE FACT THAT
SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED ON
THE HOLIDAY AND SUCH A TIGHTLY
KNIT COMMUNITY. THIS IS A NICE
AREA. THIS IS A GOOD AREA. KIDS
PLAY UP DOWN THE STREET ALL DAY
ALL DAY AND PLAY OUT HERE
PLAYING. I DON’T THINK NOTHING
OF IT. EVERYBODY DOWN HERE SEEMS
LIKE THEY KNOW EACH OTHER. THEY

SEVERAL CHARGES, INCLUDING FIRST
DEGREE HOME INVASION THAT

TAKE A LOOK OUTSIDE AND GET A
CHECK OF THE WEATHER WITH
METEOROLOGIST BRANDON RUE, WHO
IS SAYING THAT IT’S GETTING
HOTTER AND HOTTER OUT THERE THIS
NOON, IT WILL BE IN STEAMY AS
WELL. THE MORNING. RAIN WON’T
HELP ADDING TO THE HUMIDITY, BUT
LET’S CHECK IN DIDN’T GET A
WHOLE LOT OF RAIN REPORTS BUT
OUR BUDDY STEVE SOBEL, AND
FARMING TIN SHARING ABOUT 0.43
INCHES OF RAIN THIS MORNING,
MORENCY. GOT THE MOST THAT WE
SAW ANYWHERE 1.23 INCHES. MOST
OF US DID SEE A LITTLE ABOVE A
QUARTER OF AN INCH. YOU CAN SEE
HERE UP IN PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN
WAYNE COUNTY, ABOUT A HALF AN
INCH PARTS OF MACOMB COUNTY INTO
OAKLAND COUNTY. A HALF AN INCH
OR A LITTLE BIT MORE. NOT
EVERYBODY SAW MORE THAN A
QUARTER OF AN INCH, BUT EVERY
LITTLE BIT IS HELPFUL AND WE
AVOIDED THE SEVERE STUFF. NOW
IT’S UPPER SEVENTIES LOW
EIGHTIES. THE HEAT INDEX IS A
GOOD 2 TO 5 DEGREES. WARMER THAN
THE AIR TEMPS AND WE ARE GOING
TO GET INTO A LITTLE SUNSHINE AT
TIMES TODAY AS NUMBERS SHOOT UP
TO 90 THAT COULD FEEL CLOSER TO
TRIPLE DIGITS, SO THE HEAT
RELATED STRESS IN PLAY THIS
AFTERNOON WE’LL TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK AT STORM CHANCES. WE HAVE A
FEW COMING UP. OKAY THANK YOU.
BRANDON, NOW TO THE FOURTH OF
JULY HOLIDAY WEEKEND, IT IS NOW
OVER AND IT’S TIME FOR MANY
FAMILIES TO TRY AND GET THEIR
WAY HOME IF THEY HAVEN’T ARRIVED
ALREADY, WHICH HAS BEEN PRETTY
TRICKY WITH AIR TRAVEL THESE
DAYS HERE AT HOME METRO AIRPORT
RIGHT NOW IS SEEING AN INCREASE
OF DELAYS WITH 41 FLIGHT DELAYS
AND TWO CANCELATIONS. TOM
COSTELLO HAS A NATIONAL LOOK AT
FOURTH OF JULY TRAVEL. WITH SO
MANY AMERICANS EAGER TO TAKE TO
THE SKIES OVER THE HOLIDAY
WEEKEND, JUST BACK OUT AND ABOUT
AND WANTS TO GO SEE THEIR FAMILY
AND IT’S CAUSING A LOT OF
DISRUPTION. AIRPORT SECURITY AND
AIRLINES STILL STRUGGLING TO
KEEP UP WITH POST PANDEMIC
RECORD BREAKING DEMAND. KEEP
LOOKING AT T S A GO ON. OH MY
GOD. NOW I GOTTA GET THROUGH.
THERE’S EVERYONE’S TIRED OF
TAKING THE ROAD TRIPS BECAUSE OF
THE GAS PRICES, SO I HAVEN’T
NOTICED THAT A LOT, SO I’VE HAD
TO ACTUALLY DELAY FLIGHTS AND
CHANGE THEM OVER THE ENTIRE JULY
4TH WEEKEND AND THE US UPWARDS
OF 1700 FLIGHT CANCELATIONS MORE
THAN 19,000 DELAYS, BUT THAT’S
ACTUALLY AN IMPROVEMENT FROM THE
MEMORIAL DAY MELTDOWN AT THE
START OF THE SUMMER. AND ALMOST
HALF THE CANCELATIONS WE SAW
OVER THE JUNETEENTH FATHER’S DAY
HOLIDAY WEEKEND LAST MONTH, SOME
PASSENGERS WERE SURPRISED BY HOW
SMOOTHLY THINGS WERE GOING THIS
WEEKEND. WE WERE ANTICIPATING
THERE TO BE A LITTLE BIT CRAZY,
BUT SO FAR IT HASN’T BEEN BAD.
ALSO OUT WITH TRAVELERS OFF DUTY
DELTA PILOTS IN THE MIDST OF A
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION PICKETING,
THEY SAY OVER EXHAUSTION FROM
OVERTIME, THE FLIGHT ATTENDANTS
UNION IN FULL SUPPORT. PICKETING
IS ABOUT RAISING THE STANDARDS
FOR AVIATION WORKERS JOBS
GETTING US THE RESOURCES THAT WE
NEED TO DO OUR WORK. DELAYS AND
CANCELATIONS ARE NOT JUST
AFFECTING DOMESTIC PASSENGERS.
IT’S BEEN AN ONGOING TROUBLE
MESS FOR THOSE FLYING OVERSEAS
THIS SUMMER, WITH STRIKES IN
BELGIUM, FRANCE AND GERMANY. AS
PILOTS, AIRPORT STAFF AND CABIN
CREWS DEMAND SALARY HIKES AND
THE UK IS EXPERIENCING THE WORST
OF IT. LONDON’S BUSIEST AIRPORT
. HEATHROW AIRLINES TO CUT
FLIGHTS DUE TO OVERWHELMING
PASSENGER NUMBERS BACK HERE IN
THE U. S EXPERTS SAY IF YOU’RE
PLANNING A TRIP THIS SUMMER,
PREPARE FOR SKY HIGH PRICES.
PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PAY
WHATEVER IT TAKES RIGHT NOW IN
THE AIRLINES ARE PRICING THOSE
FLIGHTS ACCORDINGLY AS WELL.
THANK YOU TWO TIME. CASTELLO
MEANWHILE, LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT
THE VERY LATEST AS IT RELATES TO
GAS PRICES ACROSS THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN RIGHT NOW, ON AVERAGE,
IT’S $4.93 A GALLON THAT’S
AVERAGE ACROSS THE WHOLE ENTIRE
STATE, AND IT IS DOWN 10 CENTS
FROM LAST WEEK. BUT HERE IN
METRO DETROIT, WE’RE STILL OVER
