THERE’S BEEN ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAS DIED NOW SINCE THIS STARTED.
>> DEVIN THAT’S RIGHT. WE’VE
GOT TWO PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED
OUT HERE BECAUSE OF THIS. AND
THE CHIEF JUST BRIEFED US. AND
I MEAN, EVEN HE SAYS THIS IS
COMPLICATED AND QUITE FRANKLY
DEFIES LOGIC. BUT LET ME TAKE
YOU THROUGH WHAT WE KNOW AT
THIS POINT. FIRST OF ALL, LET’S
GET RIGHT TO THE VIDEO. POLICE
ARE TELLING US THIS ALL STARTED
EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON. OKAY.
YOU HAVE THE MAN INSIDE THIS
BURGUNDY PICKUP TRUCK WHO
SUPPOSED DAZEDLY GOT INTO SOME
SORT OF A FENDER BENDER WITH A
WOMAN DRIVING A SEDAN. OKAY SHE
DOES NOT CALL 911. HE DOESN’T
CALL 911. WHAT SHE DOES IS CALL
HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND THEY
HELP HER START CHASING THIS MAN
DOWN. OKAY, YOU GET TO THIS
INTERSECTION HERE AT BURLINGAME
AND WINDERMERE. THEY ARE
CHASING THE MAN IN THAT MAROON
PICKUP TRUCK. HE FLIES THROUGH
A STOP SIGN, SMASHES INTO THAT
GRAY MINIVAN THAT POOR WOMAN
BEHIND THAT WHEEL OF THAT GRAY
MINIVAN HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH
THIS. AND POLICE CONFIRM IS NOW
DEAD. SO THAT ACCIDENT HAPPENS.
THE PEOPLE WHO WERE CHASING THE
DRIVER OF THAT PICKUP TRUCK ARE
FIRING ON HIM. SHOTS FIRED. HE
GETS OUT OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK,
ARMED HIMSELF AND FIRES BACK. I
COUNTED ON THE GROUND. WE’RE
TALKING A MINIMUM OF 17 SHELL
CASINGS THERE. HE ENDS UP BEING
SHOT AND KILLED. POLICE FOUND
HIM DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
STREET WITH A GUN IN HIS HAND.
MEANWHILE, ABOUT A MILE AWAY
FROM HERE, POLICE BELIEVE THAT
THEY HAVE RECOVERED THE CAR
THAT THAT WOMAN WAS DRIVING IN
THAT FENDER BENDER THAT STARTED
IT ALL. I’VE BEEN TOLD THAT
THAT CAR IS FULL OF BLOOD AND
SHE’S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
LISTEN TO WHAT THE CHIEF HAS TO
SAY.
>> SO IT’S JUST A HORRIBLE CASE
. IT’S SENSELESS. AND WE’RE
GOING TO LOOK INTO IT AND
HOPEFULLY MAKE AN ARREST. IN
FACT, WE ARE GOING TO PUT OUT A
REWARD OF $1,000 FOR ANY
INFORMATION LEADING TO THE
ARREST OF THE SUSPECT THAT WAS
ENGAGED IN THIS INCIDENT. AND
EVEN CALL ONE 800 SPEAK UP FOR
THAT.
>> BACK HERE LIVE, CHIEF
TELLING US THEY’RE LOOKING FOR
THREE SUSPECTS AT THIS POINT
AND THEY’RE WORKING ON A
DESCRIPTION OF A VEHICLE. WHEN
WE GET THOSE BETTER
DESCRIPTIONS OF ALL OF THAT,
WE’LL, OF COURSE, UPDATE IT ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM. WE’RE LIVE
ON DETROIT’S NORTHWEST SIDE.
I’M MARA MACDONALD, LOCAL 4.
>> INCREDIBLE. AND IN THE
MIDDLE OF A RESIDENTIAL
NEIGHBORHOOD AT THAT, MARA, WE
APPRECIATE YOUR STORY AND WE’LL
CHECK BACK IN WITH YOU FOR
UPDATES. ALL RIGHT. NOW THE BIG
BREAKTHROUGHS IN THE UAW
NEGOTIATIONS WITH DETROIT’S BIG
THREE AUTOMAKERS.
>> THE UNION PRESIDENT, SHAWN
FEIN, SAYS THE BREAKTHROUGH
CAME JUST MINUTES BEFORE HIS
LATEST UPDATE TO HIS
MEMBERSHIP.
>> YEAH, HE CALLED GM HAS NOW
AGREED IN WRITING TO PLACE
THEIR ELECTRIC BATTERY
MANUFACTURING UNDER OUR
NATIONAL MASTER AGREEMENT.
>> WE’VE BEEN TOLD FOR MONTHS
THAT THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. WE’VE
BEEN TOLD THE EV FUTURE MUCH
MIGHT BE A RACE TO THE BOTTOM.
AND NOW WE’VE CALLED THEIR
BLUFF. WHAT THIS WILL MEAN FOR
OUR MEMBERS AND FEIN IS CALLING
THIS A TRANSFER NORMATIVE WIN.
>> AND BECAUSE OF THAT, THE UAW
DID NOT EXPAND ITS STRIKE. NO
NEW PLANTS BEING TARGETED THIS
TIME AROUND. THAT’S A CHANGE
FROM THE LAST COUPLE OF
FRIDAYS. THAT LEAVES AROUND
25,000 UAW WORKERS WALKING THE
PICKET LINES AT VARIOUS PLANTS
FOR GM, FORD AND STELLANTIS.
THE STRIKE IS NOW MOVING INTO
ITS FOURTH WEEK. REACTION HAS
BEEN COMING IN SINCE FEIN’S
ANNOUNCEMENT JUST AFTER 2:00
TODAY. SEAN LEY LIVE AT
SOLIDARITY HOUSE ON DETROIT’S
EAST SIDE. SEAN CLEARLY HE LEFT
IT LEFT US WITH THE IMPRESSION,
THOUGH, THAT THERE IS STILL A
LOT OF WORK AHEAD FROM FIVE
THIS MORNING.
>> YEAH, A LOT OF WORK AHEAD.
BUT DEVIN SOURCE WAS TELLING ME
SINCE 5:00 THIS MORNING THAT
BIG TIME PROGRESS WAS BEING
MADE AT EARLY MORNING HOURS ALL
THROUGHOUT THE DAY. AND THAT’S
WHAT SEAN FEIN WAS TALKING
ABOUT. I CAN ALSO TELL YOU HOW
THE UAW WAS ABLE TO GET GM TO
GIVE UP THAT HUGE CONCESSION.
ABSOLUTELY HUGE WHEN IT COMES
TO EV BATTERY PRODUCTION. TAKE
A LOOK.
>> OUR STRIKE IS WORKING, BUT
WE’RE NOT THERE YET.
>> UAW PRESIDENT SEAN FEIN
SAYING ALL SIDES ARE MAKING BIG
PROGRESS WHILE STILL PUTTING
PRESSURE ON GM AND STELLANTIS
SAYING THEY’RE LAGGING BEHIND
FORD FOR WAGE INCREASES,
OFFERING 20, FORD OFFERING A
23% INCREASE. FEIN SAYS MORE
WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE
PRESSURE ON GM TODAY WAS
TREMENDOUS. FEIN THREATENING TO
STRIKE GM’S MASSIVE ARLINGTON,
TEXAS, SUV PLANT. 5000 WORKERS
MAKING HIGH END ESCALADES AND
YUKONS. TO AVOID THAT, GM GAVE
IN MAKING BATTERY PRODUCTION.
NOW ALL UAW. FEIN SAYS THE WIN
IS MAKING A COMPANY SAY YES
WHEN THEY WANT TO SAY NO IN
JUST THREE WEEKS, WE HAVE MOVED
THESE COMPANIES FURTHER THAN
ANYONE EVEN THOUGHT WAS
POSSIBLE.
>> LOOKING AT PROFIT SHARING
ALL THREE COMPANIES WANTED
CONCESSIONS ON PROFIT SHARING,
AND WE SAID, HELL NO. NOT ONLY
DID WE BEAT BACK FORD’S
CONCESSIONARY PROFIT SHARING
FORMULA, WE MADE ENHANCEMENTS.
WE’VE BEEN VERY CAREFUL ABOUT
HOW WE ESCALATE THIS STRIKE
BACK. AND WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS
STRATEGY TO INCREASE PRESSURE
ON THE COMPANIES, NOT TO HURT
THEM FOR ITS OWN SAKE, BUT TO
MOVE THEM.
>> MOVE THEM INDEED. ALL RIGHT.
BACK HERE LIVE, IF YOU’RE
READING THE TEA LEAVES ON THIS
, NO NEW STRIKES CALLED. I’M
ALSO TOLD DEVIN TALKS ARE GOING
TO CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE
WEEKEND. WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT.
SHAWN LEY, LOCAL 4, BACK TO
YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, SHAWN, WE WILL
WATCH NEXT WEEK WITH GREAT
EAGERNESS.
>> KIM?
>> WELL, WHAT IS JUSTICE FOR
FAMILY? TOUCHED BY MURDER FOR
MORE THAN 30 YEARS AFTER AN
OAKLAND COUNTY TEENAGER KILLED
HIS STEPMOTHER, HE’LL SOON BE
RESENTENCED. THE CASE IS BEING
IMPACTED BY COURT RULINGS THAT
MANDATORY SENTENCES OF LIFE
WITHOUT PAROLE FOR JUVENILES
ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE
VICTIM’S FAMILY ISN’T HAPPY
ABOUT THE RESENTENCING. AND
TALK TO OUR MEGAN WOODS ABOUT
THIS VERY COMPLICATED CASE.
MEGAN
>> KIMBERLY, COMPLICATED IS THE
PERFECT WORD TO DESCRIBE IT. SO
THE RESENTENCING HEARING IS ON
TUESDAY AND SEVERAL OUTCOMES
CAN COME OF THAT. BUT THAT’S
EXACTLY WHAT HELEN ROBERTS
BAZETTA FAMILY IS WORRIED
ABOUT. TAKE A LISTEN IN.
>> YOU KNOW, MY AUNT WAS ROBBED
OF HER LIFE, BUT HE’LL GET OUT
AT WHAT, THE AGE OF 58 AND HAVE
THE POSSIBILITY TO GO ON AND
LIVE.
>> TRISH HEKKER WAS JUST 14
WHEN SHE WAS IN A SEARCH PARTY
FOR HER AUNT, HELEN ROBERTS
BAZETTA. THAT WAS 1983. HELEN’S
BODY WAS FOUND BY HUNTERS FIVE
YEARS LATER. JOSEPH BAZETTA AND
HIS WIFE MICHELLE WERE
SENTENCED TO LIFE FOR THE
BLUDGEONING AND STRANGULATION
DEATH OF HIS STEPMOTHER, HELEN
.
>> WE’VE ALWAYS FOLLOWED THE
CASE VERY CLOSELY. WHEN
MICHELLE GRANDIS CAME UP FOR
PAROLE, WE WERE THERE FOR
OBVIOUSLY OBJECTING, BUT SHE
HAS BEEN PAROLED. SO NOW THIS
IS THE NEXT STEP. I GUESS.
>> BUT IT DOESN’T MAKE THE
PROCESS ANY LESS PAINFUL.
>> YOU KNOW, THE REASON WHY THE
ORIGINAL JUDGE GAVE HIM THAT
SENTENCE WAS BECAUSE OF THE
HEINOUS NATURE OF THE CRIME.
NONE OF THAT HAS CHANGED. SO
YOU KNOW, WE’RE WE’RE VERY
HOPEFUL OF COURSE, WE DON’T
KNOW WHAT THIS JUDGE WILL RULE,
BUT WE’RE VERY HOPEFUL THAT HE
WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE
MAXIMUM SENTENCE, WHICH WE
UNDERSTAND TO BE 60 YEARS, EVEN
WITH THAT SENTENCE, HE WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR PAROLE AFTER 35
YEARS.
>> AND THAT’S IN 2024. BUT THE
JUDGE HAS THE OPTION TO GIVE
EVEN LESS TIME.
>> AND I REALLY, TRULY WORRY
BECAUSE THE REASON WHY HE
KILLED HER WAS BECAUSE SHE WAS
INTERFERING IN HIS LIFE. WHAT
IS HE GOING TO DO TO THE NEXT
PERSON WHO INTERFERED IN HIS
LIFE?
>> WE DID REACH OUT TO JOSEPH’S
ATTORNEY AND SHE DECLINED TO
MAKE ANY TYPE OF STATEMENT. AND
AGAIN, THAT RESENTENCING
HEARING IS ON TUESDAY IN THE
AFTERNOON OVER ZOOM. REPORTING
LIVE, I’M MEGAN WOODS, LOCAL 4.
>> OKAY, MEGAN, THANK YOU.
WELL, NOW WE HAVE AN UPDATE ON
THE CASE OF A DETROIT
FIREFIGHTER WHO POSED NAKED AT
WORK AND SHARED PHOTOS ON
SOCIAL MEDIA. HE’S BACK ON THE
JOB AND THE CITY IS DEFENDING
THAT DECISION. AN WE, OF
COURSE, CAN’T SHOW YOU THE
PHOTOS IN THEIR ENTIRETY, BUT
THEY’RE EXPLICIT ENOUGH THAT
SOME FIREFIGHTERS TELL LOCAL 4
THEY’RE FRUSTRATED AND
EMBARRASSED. THE FIREFIGHTER IS
BACK ON THE JOB. THE MAYOR’S
OFFICE SAYS HE WAS SUSPENDED
FOR 29 DAYS WITHOUT PAY AND IT
BELIEVES THAT DISCIPLINE WILL
ENSURE HE DOESN’T VIOLATE THE
DEPARTMENT’S SOCIAL MEDIA
POLICIES. AGAIN WHAT IT FEELS
LIKE FALL AND THE CALENDAR SAYS
OCTOBER FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE,
IT’S TIME FOR SOME THRILLS AND
CHILLS.
>> MAYBE A COUPLE OF SCREAMS
THROWN IN.
>> WELL, METRO DETROIT DOES NOT
DISAPPOINT WHEN IT COMES TO
HAUNTED HOUSES AND SPOOKY
ATTRACTIONS. WE SENT PRIYA MANN
TO SEE IF SHE COULD HANDLE SOME
HALLOWEEN THRILLS FOR THIS
ASSIGNMENT.
>> WE’RE TAKING OUR CUE FROM
HORROR FLICKS. YOU DON’T WANT
TO PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR
SURROUNDINGS. OH, MY GOD.
>> BECAUSE THE WHOLE I HAVE SO
MUCH BUILT UP IN ME THAT I JUST
HAVE TO LET OUT ALL AT ONCE ON
THESE PEOPLE.
>> ACTOR DYLAN BURBY NICKNAMED
HIS CHARACTER BUGSY. HOW DO YOU
SCARE PEOPLE? CAN YOU SHOW US
ANYTHING? OH, NO, NO. OTHERS
LIKE SMILEY THE CLOWN HAVE A
DIFFERENT APPROACH.
>> I LIKE TO RING BELLS AND I
LIKE TO PLAY WITH KNIVES AND BE
CHILDLIKE SO WE CAN HEAR YOU
COMING. YES, YOU CAN HEAR ME
COMING. AND THEN COME FOR THE
POUND IN ITS 24TH SEASON,
EREBUS IN PONTIAC OFFERS
36,000FT█ !S OF TERROR.
>> THE COOL THING IS OUR WHOLE
THING IS TIME TRAVEL. SO I CAN
TAKE YOU FROM OUTER SPACE TO
ANCIENT EGYPT. AND IT ALL MAKES
SENSE BECAUSE IT’S A DIFFERENT
TIME PERIOD.
>> AND NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE,
WE’RE GOING TO BE SCARED.
>> YOU GOT IT. IT’S CALLING THE
SCREAM MACHINE IN ITS NEW
LOCATION, WAITING FOR THE NEXT
SEASONS OF FEAR.
>> THE FOLKS OVER AT THE SCREAM
MACHINE IN TAYLOR FIRST OPENED
THEIR HAUNTED ATTRACTION IN
2001 WITH ACTOR DRIVEN THRILLS.
>> SPOOKY SEASON IS OFFICIALLY
UPON US.
>> IT’S TIME TO FEED THE
MACHINE. FOR PEOPLE TO FEEL
THAT EMOTION IS JUST
INCREDIBLE.
>> TO MAKE SOMEONE FEEL
SOMETHING.
>> AND WE LEAVE YOU WITH ONE OF
EREBUS NEWEST ATTRACTIONS.
ENTER.
>> WHAT IS THIS? WE HAVE THE
STRONG MANKIND. OKAY, THAT’S A
STRONG YOU ARE.
>> WHAT HAPPENS? OH, LOOK OUT
IN PONTIAC.
>> I’M PRIYA MANN, LOCAL 4.
OKAY
>> THAT’S KIND OF A CLOSE CALL
IF YOU’RE NOT READY FOR THAT
THING COMING AT YOU.
>> OH, GOODNESS. I’M SO GOOD
WITH THAT.
>> ALL RIGHT. RIGHT NOW, KIM
ADAMS WORKING ON A VERY
FALL-LIKE FORECAST. KIM?
>> YEAH, IT SURE IS GOING TO
START FEELING MORE LIKE
HALLOWEEN AROUND HERE. WE’VE
GOT SOME RAIN JUST OUT TO OUR
WEST. SO IF YOU’RE ON THE EAST
SIDE AND IT’S NICE AND DRY NOW,
