AND FOR ONE METEOROLOGIST, KIM ADAMS. WE’VE GOT RAIN OUT THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE IS SOME
SNOW AND IT WILL AFFECT US HERE
IN SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN ALL
TIME IT OUT IN THE FORECAST.
ALSO FIRST AND FOR THE SEARCH
FOR A FREEWAY SHOOTER IN DETROIT

A DIFFERENCE IN THIS ONE? AND
HERE’S WILL JONES. PARDON THE
WEEDS. THEY’RE FEEDING THE BEES

A CAMPAIGN. THAT’S ALL THE BUZZ
HERE. LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT
. LOCAL 4 NEWS FIRST AT FOUR
STARTS NOW. GOOD AFTERNOON,
EVERYBODY. I’M KAREN DREW FIRST
OF FOUR. WINTER REFUSES TO
RELEASE US FROM IT’S CHILLY GRIP
. WE’VE CERTAINLY BEEN FEELING
THAT SPRING COLD SNAP HERE IN
METRO DETROIT, BUT IT’S EVEN
WORSE THAN OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE. I WANT YOU TO TAKE A LOOK
AT THIS LIVE PICTURES FROM
MARQUETTE IN THE UPPER
PENINSULA. SOME AREAS COULD GET
AS MUCH AS 18 INCHES OF SNOW.
WE’VE BEEN WATCHING THIS CAMERA
ALL DAY LONG. DEFINITELY DOES
NOT LOOK LIKE MAY 1ST. SO WHAT
CAN WE EXPECT? HARRY KIM ADAMS
IS STANDING BY WITH OUR FIRST
FORECAST, AND WE COULD MAYBE SEE
A LITTLE SNOW. WE WILL SEE A
LITTLE BIT SNOW LATER ON
TONIGHT. NOT LIKE THEY HAVE IN
MARQUETTE. BUT THEY’RE USED TO
IT. THEY EXPECTED MORE THAN WE
DO HERE IN SOUTHEAST LOWER
MICHIGAN. WE’RE NOT THAT TOUGH,
AND WE DON’T WANT TO SEE SNOW.
BUT THAT IS WHAT WE’LL SEE A
LITTLE BIT LATER ON TONIGHT,
ESPECIALLY INTO THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS. WE’LL ZOOM IN RIGHT NOW.
IT IS RAINING IN PARTS OF
PLYMOUTH AND NORTHVILLE. IT’S
LIGHT RAIN, BUT IT’S STILL OUT
THERE AND THEN ALSO IN NEW
BOSTON, JUST SOUTH. OF THE
AIRPORT. IT’S DRY RIGHT NOW AT
AT METRO AIRPORT, BUT DOWNTOWN
DETROIT WILL GET A FEW SPRINKLES
AT SIX O’CLOCK THE METS AT THE
TIGERS IF YOU ARE HEADED TO THE
GAME IT IS SO COLD EVEN THOUGH
TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE FORTIES,
DROPPING INTO THE UPPER THIRTIES
, IT IS GOING TO FEEL A LOT
COLDER THAN THAT VERY DAMP, AND
BY THE END OF THE GAME, THERE
COULD BE SOME LIGHT SNOW YOUR
FORECAST IS COMING UP. ALL
RIGHT. THANK YOU, KIM. TAKE A
LOOK. THIS IS THE AFTERMATH OF
ONE OF TWO FREE FREEWAY
SHOOTINGS UNDER INVESTIGATION IN
DETROIT RIGHT NOW, SO FAR, NO
ONE IS IN CUSTODY IN THE
SHOOTING ON 3 75 NEAR BRUSH
STREET THAT LEFT A 27 YEAR OLD
WOMAN DEAD IN THE 30 YEAR OLD
MAN IN CRITICAL CONDITION.
POLICE SAY FOUR PEOPLE WERE IN
AN SUV AFTER LEAVING THE ANNEX
NIGHTCLUB IN DETROIT WHEN THEY
SAY SOMEONE STARTED FIRING. TWO
OTHERS WERE NOT INJURED. STATE
POLICE ARE USING LICENSE PLATE
READERS TRYING TO GET A LEAD
TOWARDS AN ARREST IN THIS CASE.
MEANTIME A 37 YEAR OLD GEORGIA
TRUCK DRIVER IS IN CUSTODY THIS
AFTERNOON AFTER ANOTHER INCIDENT
IN THE EASTBOUND LANES OF I 96
NEAR MARTIN LUTHER KING
BOULEVARD. STATE POLICE SAY.
CALLERS REPORTED A CRASH ON
WEBERN STREET BETWEEN A SEMI AND
ANOTHER VEHICLE. THAT DRIVER
FOLLOWED THE SEMI FOR SEVERAL
MILES UNTIL THE GUY IN THE SEMI
WAS ACCUSED OF FIRING SEVERAL
SHOTS AT THE OTHER VEHICLE. NO
ONE WAS INJURED IN THE CASE.
OFFICERS SUSPECT THE SEMI DRIVER
MAY HAVE BEEN INTOXICATED. THE
INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AT THIS
HOUR. GENERAL MOTORS IS
CONFIRMING TO LOCAL 4 IT IS CUT
MORE JOBS IN METRO DETROIT THIS
TIME AROUND, THE AUTOMAKER SAYS
IT’S TERMINATED, QUOTE SEVERAL
100 CONTRACT EMPLOYEES AT
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, INCLUDING
THE WAR IN TECH CENTER. IT’S
PART OF GM’S EFFORTS TO TRIM $2
BILLION FROM ITS BUDGET BY THE
END OF NEXT YEAR, THE NEW
NOTIFICATIONS STARTED GOING OUT
ON SATURDAY. THE ROYAL POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS STILL LOOKING FOR
SUSPECTS AND SOME VANDALISM AT
THE CITY’S JEWISH COMMUNITY
CENTER. THE VANDALISM WAS
REPORTED FRIDAY EVENING AT THE
WOODWARD AVENUE SHOAL AFTER A
PERSON WALKING BY NOTICE THE
GRAFFITI AND WE DID BLUR THE
IMAGES, BUT SOMEONE DID SPRAY
PAINTS A SWASTIKA ON THE WALL.
IT’S BELIEVED IT HAPPENED
BETWEEN NOON ON APRIL 27TH AND
FOUR PM ON APRIL 28TH. SO IF YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE CASE,
PLEASE GIVE ROYAL OAK POLICE A
CALL. HUNDREDS OF OFFICERS ARE
SEARCHING FOR THE SUSPECT IN A
MASS SHOOTING IN TEXAS, BUT SO
FAR THEY TELL US THEY HAVE ZERO
LEEDS. IT’S LIKE THE MAN
SUSPECTED OF BLASTING HIS GUN IN
A NEIGHBOR’S HOME IS LITERALLY
FAMISHED. KIMBERLY GILLARD NOW
JOINS US WITH AN UPDATE IN A
REMINDER OF THE HEARTBREAK
BEHIND THIS SEARCH, KAREN GOOD
AFTERNOON TO YOU, IT REALLY HAS
BEEN A HEARTBREAKING, INTENSE
WEEKEND FOR COMMUNITY NEAR
HOUSTON, TEXAS, POLICE SAY AN
APPARENT DISPUTE BETWEEN
NEIGHBORS TURNED DEADLY FOR FIVE
PEOPLE, INCLUDING AN EIGHT YEAR
OLD LITTLE BOY. WE’RE TOLD ABOUT
250. LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
ARE SCOURING THE AREA AROUND
CLEVELAND, TEXAS. THEY’RE GOING
DOOR TO DOOR CHECKING CARS
TRYING TO FIND 38 YEAR OLD
FRANCISCO OR A PACER. POLICE SAY
THEY FOUND HIS CELL PHONE AND
CLOTHING OVER THE WEEKEND. BUT
HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO TAKE THE MAN
INTO CUSTODY. IT ALL STARTED
LATE FRIDAY NIGHT WHEN NEIGHBORS
ASKED THE ALLEGED GUNMAN TO STOP
FIRING HIS AR 15 IN HIS YARD AS
THEY TRIED TO GET A BABY TO
SLEEP. THE MAN WHO LOST HIS WIFE
AND SON SPOKE TO REPORTERS
THROUGH A TRANSLATOR. AND SO THE
SHOOTING COULD HAVE BEEN EVEN
WORSE, MIRACULOUSLY MANAGED TO
ESCAPE. THERE WERE 10 OF US THAT
SURVIVED, AND TWO PEOPLE WHO
DIED WERE PROTECTING MY 2.5 YEAR
OLD DAUGHTER AND MY ONE MONTH
OLD SON. THEY WILL MAKE HIM
PROTECTED HIM WITH A BUNCH OF
CLOTHING. SO THE MURDERER
WOULDN’T KILL HIM TOO. YEAH IT
CERTAINLY IS TOUGH TO WATCH, BUT
IT’S IMPORTANT TO COMMUNICATE
WITH THESE PEOPLE WERE FEELING
AND HEARING ALL THROUGH BECAUSE
OF THIS NOISE COMPLAINT. THE
POLICE NEED HELP ON THIS CASE.
THEY ABSOLUTELY DO BECAUSE THEY
HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THE SUSPECT
IS. THERE IS A REWARD BEING
OFFERED RIGHT NOW. IT’S UP TO
ABOUT $80,000 AND WE’LL, OF
COURSE, HAVE ANOTHER UPDATE WHEN
YOU JOIN US FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT
FIVE. WE APPRECIATE IT. THANKS.
WELL THE AMERICAN BANKING SYSTEM
IS TRYING TO LIMIT THE FALLOUT
OF ANOTHER COLLAPSE, THIS TIME
INVOLVING FIRST REPUBLIC BANK.
JPMORGAN CHASE HAS BOUGHT MOST
OF THE BANK’S ASSETS. THE FDA C
STEPPED IN OVER THE WEEKEND TO
CLEAN UP THE MESS IN COORDINATED
THE SALE. MANY FIRST REPUBLIC
CUSTOMERS STARTED MOVING THEIR
MONEY TO LARGER AND SAFER BANKS
AFTER THE COLLAPSE OF SILICON
VALLEY AND SIGNATURE BANKS
EARLIER THIS YEAR. NOW IT’S 84
BRANCHES IN EIGHT STATES ARE
PART OF CHASE. TREASURY
DEPARTMENT RELEASED A STATEMENT
TODAY SAYING THE BANKING SYSTEM
REMAINS SOUND AND RESILIENT.
FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
FAILED TO GET A MISTRIAL IN THE
SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE THAT HE’S
FACING RIGHT NOW IN NEW YORK,
HIS ATTORNEY ARGUED THE JUDGE
HAD ALREADY MADE UNFAIR RULINGS
TO HIS CLIENT. BUT THE JUDGE
REJECTED THE REQUEST. THEN THE
CROSS EXAMINATION CONTINUED FOR
E. JEAN CARROLL, WHO SAYS TRUMP
RAPED HER BACK IN THE 19
NINETIES IN A DEPARTMENT STORE
DRESSING ROOM. THE 79 YEAR OLD
SAYS SHE DIDN’T REPORT THE
ASSAULT BECAUSE SHE IS A MEMBER
OF THE QUOTE. SILENT GENERATION
CONDITIONED TO NOT COMPLAIN. AND
SHE WAS ASHAMED OF WHAT
HAPPENED. CAROL IS PURSUING A
CIVIL CASE ALLEGING SEXUAL
ASSAULT AND DEFAMATION FOR HOW
THE FORMER PRESIDENT HAS
PUBLICLY DENIED HER CLAIMS. THE
SMELL OF FRESHLY CUT GRASS MIGHT
NOT BE AS STRONG IN THE CITY OF
FERNDALE THIS MONTH. THE CITY IS
TAKING PART IN A NO MO MAY BUT
RESIDENTS ON BOARD WITH THIS
CAMPAIGN, LET’S BRING IN WHILE
JONES. HE’S BEEN IN FERNDALE
THIS AFTERNOON, GETTING SOME
REACTION WELL, FOR THOSE WHO
MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PROGRAM
KIND OF EXPLAIN WHAT’S GOING ON
HERE. A LOT OF REACTION ON BOTH
SIDES OF THIS ISSUE. THERE’S A
GROWING MOVEMENT ACROSS THE
COUNTRY FOR PEOPLE TO PUT OFF
CUTTING THEIR GRASS FOR THE
MONTH OF MAY, AND FOR THE FIRST
TIME FERNDALE IS PARTICIPATING.
THE GOAL IS TO SAY, BE
ENVIRONMENT. NO MORE MAIZE
UNDERWAY IN FERNDALE MORE THAN
400 PEOPLE HAVE REGISTERED WITH
THE CITY, ACCORDING TO CITY
OFFICIALS, SOME PUTTING SIGNS IN
THEIR YARDS, LETTING THEIR
NEIGHBORS KNOW THEY’RE
PARTICIPATING DOESN’T HAVE A
YARD SIGN. BUT SINCE HE HAS
TAKEN PART, I THINK IS FANTASTIC
. IT’S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR
RESIDENTS LIKE ME TO SAVE A
LITTLE GAS, LITTLE TIME ON THE
YARD WORK, AND IT’S EXCELLENT
FOR SUPPORTING THE POLLINATORS
EARLIER THIS YEAR FROM DALE CITY
COUNCIL UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE
NO. MO MAY RESOLUTION. THE
NEIGHBORING ROYAL OAK HAS ALSO
ADOPTED. IT’S A CONSERVATION
INITIATIVE. THAT ENCOURAGES
PEOPLE TO STOP MEOWING OR NO
LESS OFTEN FOR THE MONTH OF MAY
TO CREATE HABITATS AND PROVIDE
RESOURCES FOR BEES AND OTHER
EARLY SEASON POLLINATORS. IT’S
REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
POLLINATORS ARE ON THE DECLINE
RIGHT NOW, AND YOU KNOW, THAT’S
THAT’S REALLY TRAGIC POLLINATORS
, PARTICULARLY BEES AND
BUTTERFLIES, YOU KNOW THAT’S
WHERE OUR FOOD SUPPLY COMES
FROM. CITY OFFICIALS SAY NO MO
MAY ALSO REDUCES COMPACTION OF
SOIL FROM LAWNMOWERS AND ALLOWS
GREATER INFILTRATION OF
STORMWATER CUTS DOWN ON FOSSIL
FUEL EMISSIONS AND NOISE
POLLUTION. SOME QUESTIONS FROM
PEOPLE WHO ARE PERHAPS A LITTLE
BIT CONCERNED THAT, UM, YOU KNOW
, ALLOWING GRASS TO GET THAT
LONG COULD CREATE A SPREAD OF
WEEDS. OR PERHAPS INFESTATION OF
RATS OR OTHER VERMIN. WHEN RUDY
MAYNOR IS NOT WALKING HIS DOG,
HE’S USUALLY TAKING CARE OF HIS
YARD. JUST LIKE MY TO BE, YOU
KNOW, LIKE, LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING
ON GOOD HOUSEKEEPING. HE SAYS
HE’S NOT PARTICIPATING IN NO MO
MAY HE’S CONCERNED ABOUT HOW
HIGH THE GRASS AND WEEDS WILL
GROW IN HIS NEIGHBORHOOD, AND I
THINK IT SHOULD BE IN A MORE
RURAL AREAS. NO MOMENT IS
STRICTLY VOLUNTEERING. CODE
ENFORCEMENT STANDARDS FOR GRASS
AND WEEDS WILL BE SUSPENDED FOR
MAY ONLY ENFORCERS WILL BE BACK
ON THEIR BEAT IN JUNE. SO IF YOU
KNOW, UM GRASSES LONG AND WEEDS
ARE GROWING ON JUNE, 1ST QUOTE
ENFORCEMENT TEAM WILL HEAD OUT.
THEY’LL CHECK OUT THE AREA. YOU
HEARD THAT THE CODE ENFORCERS
WILL BE OUT CHECKING YARD TO
MAKE SURE SURE THEY’RE IN GOOD
CONDITION. THEY’RE GOING TO LOOK
AT THE GRASS, BUT HEY, YOU’RE
JUST GONNA GET A WARNING. FIRST
YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GET FINE
RIGHT AWAY. ONCE THEY GIVE YOU
THAT WARNING. IF YOU DON’T TAKE
CARE OF YOUR YORK THEN YOU WILL
GET FINE. LIVE IN FERNDALE.
WELL, JONES LOCAL 4. ALRIGHT NO
