QUESTIONS THAT INVESTIGATORS ARE
NOW TRYING TO ANSWER, SEAN. SO
MANY QUESTIONS, NOT A LOT OF
ANSWERS RIGHT NOW. THAT FIRST
ATTACK HAPPENED AT SIX IN THE

FIRST VICTIM WAS GOING TO STOP
AND PUT AIR IN HER TIRES. IF YOU
THINK ABOUT THAT, WE’VE ALL DONE
IT. YOUR BACK IS TO EVERYTHING
YOU’RE TOTALLY EXPOSED AND
DEFENSELESS. THAT’S WHEN SHE WAS
ATTACKED. POLICE SAY THE SAME
GUY WITH THE SAME HUNTING KNIFE
WENT TO ST CLAIR SHORES AND
ATTACKED A MAN IN A BUS STOP AT
FIRST LOOKED LIKE A RANDOM
INCIDENTS HERE. TWO DIFFERENT
RANDOM ATTACKS MAY NOT BE AT
ALL. SIX THIS MORNING AT THIS
BELL TIRE ON GRATIOT NEAR 14
MILE IN ROOSEVELT WOMAN MINDING
HER OWN BUSINESS, HER BACK TURN
AS SHE FILLED HER TIRE WITH AIR

VAN DYKEN, NINE MILES BACK IN
ROOSEVELT DON BOYD, LIKE SO MANY

HE WAS OUT ON HIS BIKE, HIS WIFE
RELAYING INFORMATION TO HIM TO
WATCH OUT. MY WIFE SAID SHE WAS
LISTENING TO A POLICE SCANNER OR
KILL YOU. SHE SAID SHE THOUGHT
THE PERSON THAT WAS DID THIS IT
WAS POSSIBLY THE SAME PERSON
THAT STEPS SOMEBODY AT BUS STOP
AT 12 MILES. AND HARPER OVER IN
WARREN ALBERT SPRINGER WATCHED

STABBING SPREE PERSON NEXT DOOR

SHOP. BACK HERE. LIVE BOTTOM
LINE. MORE IN. POLICE ARRESTED
STABBING SUSPECT HAS BEEN TURNED
OVER TO ROSEVILLE. POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING THE WHOLE THING.
DOES HE? THE STABBING SUSPECT
HAVE A CONNECTION RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE TWO VICTIMS. THAT’S
UNCLEAR TONIGHT TO THE TWO
VICTIMS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH
EACH OTHER AGAIN. WHAT LOOKED
RANDOM. DEVON AND KIMBERLY MAY
NOT BE ALL OF IT UNDER
INVESTIGATION THAT TIME.
EXTRAORDINARY STUFF. ALRIGHT,
SEAN. FOUR FORMER SECURITY
GUARDS WILL FACE TRIAL FOR 2014
DEATHS AT NORTHLAND MALL LUCIUS
HAMBLETON, JOHN C. BREWING GAVIN
KING AND AARON MURRAY WERE BOUND
OVER TO EACH FACE ONE COUNT OF
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER.
MACKENZIE COCHRAN DIED AFTER
BEING PINNED TO THE FLOOR DURING
A STRUGGLE WITH THE SECURITY
GUARDS AT THE NOW CLOSED MALL IN
SOUTHFIELD. WITNESSES SAY HE WAS
YELLING THAT HE COULDN’T BREATHE
. THE FORMER OAKLAND COUNTY
PROSECUTOR DID NOT PURSUE
CHARGES BACK IN 2014, BUT
ATTORNEY GENERAL DANA NESSEL
GAVE THE CASE. ANOTHER LOOK IN
2020. IF CONVICTED, THE SECURITY
GUARDS EACH FACE 15 YEARS IN
PRISON. ROCHESTER HILLS BAND
COULD BE FACING A LOT OF PRISON
TIME FOR THREATENING TO MACOMB
COUNTY JUDGE JAMAAR WARREN IS
SEEN HERE CHARGED WITH A FALSE
REPORT OR THREAT OF TERRORISM.
HE BECAME DISRUPTIVE IN A MOUNT
CLEMENS COURTROOM LAST NOVEMBER
WHILE BEING CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
WITH A DEADLY WEAPON WHEN HIS
HEARING WAS CONTINUED OVER ZOOM
, HE ALLEGEDLY THREATENED TO
SHOOT THE JUDGE. IF CONVICTED.
NOW HE COULD END UP SPENDING 20
YEARS IN PRISON. WE’LL KEEP
FOLLOWING IT. IF THERE ACTUALLY
WERE A BIG BROTHER OF THE YEAR
AWARD, THIS TEAM FROM ALPENA
WOULD HAVE TO BE A LEADING
CANDIDATE. HE USED A SLINGSHOT
TO HELP HIS SISTER ESCAPED
SOMEONE WHO TRIED TO SNATCH HER
FROM HER BACKYARD WILL NOW OWEN
BURNS AND HIS PROUD PARENTS ARE
TALKING ABOUT IT FOR THE FIRST
TIME. WELL, JONES REVIEW IN
SOUNDS LIKE HE’S STAYING PRETTY
HUMBLE ABOUT ALL OF THIS. AND IT
IS CERTAINLY BEING REALLY
COMPOSED ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
MAYBE THAT ABILITY TO STAY
COMPOSED. STAY CALM IS WHY HE
WAS ABLE TO DO WHAT HE DID TO
SAVE HIS SISTER FROM WHO KNOWS
WHAT 13 YEAR OLD OWEN BURNS
USING A SLINGSHOT TO RESCUE HIS
SISTER PLAYING GAMES. I WAS HURT
MY SISTER SCREEN AROUND.
SOMETIMES SHE’S GOING AGAIN.
LIKE 9 10 SECONDS LATER, AND I’M
LIKE, WHAT’S WHAT’S GOING ON. HE
SAYS HE SAW A 17 YEAR OLD BOY
RESTRAINING HIS EIGHT YEAR OLD
SISTER IN THE BACKYARD OF THEIR
HOME IN CHINA LAST WEDNESDAY, HE
FIRED TWICE AT THE TEAM WITH HIS
SLINGSHOT, HITTING HIS TARGET
ONCE IN THE CHEST, AND ONCE IN
THE HEAD. I NEVER HAD GOOD
PRACTICE WITH A SLING SHOT
BEFORE AND I WAS AGAIN I DIDN’T
SHOT I WAS LIKE SEVEN. OH, SKID.
I DID, BUT I WAS NOT THAT GREAT
WITH IT. THEIR MOM MARGARET
BURNS WAS HIT AT HOME FROM WORK
WHEN SHE GOT THE CALL FROM HER
KIDS WERE IN A STATE OF PANIC
AND SCREAMING AND SHE WAS CRYING
AND THE ONLY WORD I COULD MAKE
OUT THE WHOLE CONVERSATION WAS
KIDNAP. BUT THANKS TO OWEN,
TAKING QUICK ACTION WITH THIS
SLINGSHOT, THE LITTLE GIRL WAS
NOT HURT. JUST HAPPY. WE WERE
ABLE TO CELEBRATE HER EIGHTH
BIRTHDAY THAT SATURDAY AFTER I
MEAN, WE COULD HAVE BEEN
CELEBRATING A FUNERAL OR
SOMETHING ELSE. GOOD JOB ON THE
SUSPECT IS IN CUSTODY. HE’S
FACING ATTEMPTED KIDNAPPING AND
ASSAULT AND BATTERY CHARGES. WE
ARE LIVE TONIGHT. WELL, JONES
LOCAL 4 THIS STORY, OKAY, WELL,
THANK YOU. I’LL TAKE IT. ONE
ORGANIZATION IS MAKING SURE COST
DOESN’T KEEP PEOPLE FROM
ASSESSING ACCESSING HIS LIFE
SAVING RESOURCE OVER THE COUNTER
NARCAN COSTS ABOUT $100 A DOSE
SO MORE WAYS TO GET IT FOR FREE
. NO QUESTIONS ASKED, ARE
POPPING UP ALL OVER OAKLAND
COUNTY. MEGAN WOODS JOINS US
LIVE WITH THOSE EFFORTS, MEGAN.
KIMBERLY BETWEEN THIS WEEK AND
NEXT WEEK 30 OF WHAT ARE
REFERRED TO AS SAVE A LIFE
STATIONS WILL BE PUT AT
DIFFERENT LOCATIONS ACROSS
OAKLAND COUNTY. THESE ARE
DIFFERENT AND LESS EXPENSIVE
THAN THOSE NARCAN VENDING
MACHINES. TAKE A LOOK. THIS
STABLE LIFE STATION MAY BE SMALL
, BUT INSIDE, THERE’S MORE THAN
MEETS THE EYE. NASAL NARCAN
AVAILABLE HERE AS WELL AS I
LISTEN, TESTING STRIPS FOR TRANQ
FAN. FENTANYL TESTING STRIPS AND
SAFE PRESCRIPTION PILL DISPOSAL
KITS, THE LIONS OF COALITIONS
FOR HEALTHY COMMUNITIES ARE
STRATEGICALLY PLACING THESE
BOXES AT SHELTERS, GAS STATIONS
, HOTELS AND LIBRARIES IN
OAKLAND COUNTY. WE USED THE DATA
FROM THE MEDICAL EXAMINER IN
RELATIONSHIP TO ACTUAL
FATALITIES THROUGHOUT OAKLAND
COUNTY TO DETERMINE LOCATIONS OF
NEED. THEN WE STARTED HITTING
THE STREETS AND TALKING TO THE
COMMUNITY. WHAT IS IT THAT YOU
NEED? WHERE DO YOU NEED IT? AND
HOW EASY WILL IT BE FOR YOU TO
ACCESS THOSE TODAY? THE FIRST
BOX DELIVERED IN PONTIAC,
OUTSIDE OF HOPE, SHELTERS, THE
ONLY LOW BARRIER SHELTER IN
OAKLAND COUNTY, WHICH MEANS THAT
WE WORK WITH PEOPLE, EVEN IF
THEY DON’T HAVE AN IDEA, CLEAN
BACKGROUND, EVEN IF THEY’RE NOT
SOBER CEO AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
KNOWS THERE’S A GREAT NEED FOR
TOOLS LIKE THIS. WE PROBABLY USE
DARK HAND INSIDE THE SHELTER,
BUT ONCE A MONTH GOAL IS MORE
LIVES ARE NOT JUST SAVED BUT
CHANGED, SO IT’S A COMBINATION
OF A LOT OF THINGS THAT NEEDS TO
TAKE PLACE. AND THIS IS A TOOL
THAT WILL HELP YOU GET TO THE
NEXT SOLUTION. AND WHEN THE
ITEMS IN THOSE BOXES GET LOW,
THE COALITION WILL JUST RESTOCK
THEM. IT’S ALL FUNDED BY THE
OAKLAND COMMUNITY HEALTH NETWORK
. AND IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK
AT AN INTERACTIVE MAP WITH THOSE
LOCATIONS AS WELL AS LOCATIONS
OF THOSE NARCAN WINDY MACHINES
WILL PUT THAT ON
