TONIGHT AND PAUL GROSS IS HERE
WITH THE FIRST FORECAST.
>> IT’S THE WIND CHILL THAT WILL
GET YOU.
IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT TO THE
SOUTH, IT’S IN THE UPPER 20’S
AND YOU CAN SEE THE ARCTIC AIR
FILTERING IN NORTH A SOUTH AND
THE WIND CHILLS ARE IN THE TEENS
AND SINGLE DIGITS IN SPOTS TO
THE NORTH.
SO IT’S GETTING COLD OUT THERE.
WE’RE BASICALLY DRY.
WE HAVE A FEW LIGHT FLURRIES AND
LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS HERE ABOUT
YOU THIS IS NOT CONSEQUENTIAL
STUFF.
IT’S NOT GOING TO CAUSE ANY
PARTICULAR PROBLEMS ON THE
ROADSMENT THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS, WE’LL KEEP DROPPING
THROUGH THE TEENS AND AGAIN,
MOSTLY CLOUDY SKIES, COULD BE A
COUPLE OF FLURRIES IN THERE AND
OVERALL, OVER THE WEEKEND WE’LL

COMES IN AND WIND CHILLS EVEN
BELOW ZERO.
IS THE SOUTH AND NORTHEAST,
SLAMMED, AND WE’LL TALK ABOUT A
FEW FLAKES, WE’LL SEE YOU IN A
FEW MINUTES.
>> Karen: THANK YOU, PAUL.
EVEN IF YOU’VE NEVER WATCHED
TENNIS, YOU’VE PROBABLY HEARD
ABOUT THE CHAMPION’S STRUGGLE TO
STAY IN AUSTRALIA OVER THE PAST
WEEK.
TODAY NOVAK DJOKOVIC’S VISA WAS
REVOKED.
AND IT HIGHLIGHTS THE BATTLES
AND CONCERNS ABOUT SPECIAL
TREATMENT.
DEVIN SCILLIAN JOINS US WITH A
LOOK AT WHAT IT STANDS NOW.
>> Devin: DJOKOVIC IS THE
CHAMPION OF THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN
THE FIRST GRAND SLAM, BUT
ANYBODY’S GUESS WHETHER HE’LL
GET TO PLAY.
IT STARTS ON MONDAY.
WE’RE TOLD HE COULD BE PLACED
BACK INTO IMMIGRATION DETENTION
TOMORROW.
AUSTRALIAN IMMIGRATION MINISTER,
ALEX HAWKE, MADE THE CALL TO
REVOKE THE VISA ON HEALTH AND
GOOD ORDER GROUNDS IS THE WAY HE
PUT IT.
DJOKOVIC IS NOT VACCINATED FOR
COVID-19, BUT WAS GRANTED TWO
EXEMPTIONS TO GET INTO THE
COUNTRY.
SINCE THEN WE FOUND OUT HE WAS
OUT AND ABOUT IN PUBLIC MASKLESS
AFTER A COVID DIAGNOSIS AND
FALSE INFORMATION ON THE TRAVEL
DOCUMENTS.
THE STAR IS WORKING ON APPEAL
THAT WILL BE HEARD TOMORROW.
A FORMER PRO DESCRIBED WHAT
DJOKOVIC IS GOING THROUGH.
>> HE’S VERY MENTALLY STRONG AND
LET’S JUST SAY HE WAS GETTING
READY FOR THE NEW TRIAL AND KNEW
THIS--
YEAH, FOR THE NEW--
WITH HIS LAWYERS GETTING READY
FOR NEW COURT AND HOPEFULLY
HE’LL STILL GET A CHANCE, I’M
HOPING HE’LL GET A CHANCE TO
PLAY, BUT, LOOKING AT IT RIGHT
NOW, THEY’RE COMPLICATING THINGS
AND MAKING IT MORE UNCERTAIN AND
REALLY DIFFICULT.
>> Devin: POLLS SHOW PUBLIC
OPINION IN AUSTRALIA RUNNING
AGAINST DJOKOVIC AFTER THE
STRICT LOCKDOWN POLICIES AND THE
MANY SACRIFICES THAT AUSTRALIANS
HAVE MADE.
IF HE’S DEPORTED HE COULD BE
BANNED FROM THE COUNTRY FOR
THREE YEARS.
WE’LL KEEP TRACKING THIS COURT
BATTLE.
>> Karen: THANK YOU, DEVIN.
TODAY ONLY LOCAL 4 CAMERAS WERE
INSIDE THE ACTIVE SHOOTING
TRAINING FOR THE PORT HURON
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THEY’RE LEARNING LIFE SAVING
TACTICS, NOT BECAUSE OF THE
OXFORD TRAGEDY, BUT THAT’S LED
TO CHANGES IN THE LESSON PLAN.
>> ONE THING ABOUT THE WAY HIGH
SCHOOLERS ROTATE THROUGH
CLASSES?
THAT’S EXACTLY THE SITUATION FOR
STAFFERS IN THE PORT HURON
SCHOOL DISTRICT TODAY AS THEY
WERE TAUGHT ACTIVE ASSAILANT
RESPONSE TRAINING.
>> WE REMEMBER THE DAY OF
TRAINING LIKE THIS WHERE IT WAS
LOCK THE DOOR, GET IN THE
CORNER, PRAY.
>> SCENARIOS NO ONE WANTS TO
THINK ABOUT, BUT MOST EVERYONE
IN OUR REGION IS.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE GETS
INTO A SCHOOL AND DELIBERATELY
TRIES TO HARM ANYONE THEY CAN.
>> I THINK THAT OXFORD BROUGHT
IT TO THE FOREFRONT OF
EVERYBODY’S MIND.
I THINK IT’S ALWAYS BEEN THERE
AND PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS COULD HAPPEN AT OUR SCHOOL,
BUT THIS HAPPENING 45 MINUTES
AWAY FROM US.
>> THE PORT HURON SCHOOL
DISTRICT OFTEN DOES REFRESHERS,
BUT THIS HALF DAY SESSION WAS
THE DEEP DIVE AS THE FOURTH
LARGEST EMPLOYER OF ST. CLAIR
COUNTY, 800 EMPLOYEES ROTATED
SPACE TO SPACE SOME DIALED IN
VIRTUALLY, BUT THE GOAL WAS TO
GET EVERY STAFFER UP TO SPEED
WITH TOOLS AND OPTIONS.
>> NOT JUST THE TEACHERS, BUT
EVERYONE, EVERY SECRETARY, EVERY
CUSTODIAN, EVERY PARA EDUCATOR
AND TEACHER AND WILL ALL RECEIVE
THE SAME SAFETY TRAINING.
>> THERE ARE MANY ACTIVE KIND,
BUT THIS ACTIVE ASSAULT
ASSAILANT AART, IT’S BY THE
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT AND THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THE MESSAGE IS LARGELY THE SAME,
BUT THERE ARE DIFFERENT TACTICS
AND TOOLS.
CHANGEABLE AND ADJUSTABLE FOR
THE REASON OR SPECIFIC
FACILITIES AND INCLUDES A FOCUS
ON FIRST AID AND EVEN
HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT OPTIONS.
>> SOMETIMES WE HAVE TO FIGHT
BACK AND THAT’S A SCARY THING TO
TALK TO SOME STUDENTS ABOUT
BECAUSE THEY DON’T REALIZE THAT
THEY CAN FIGHT BACK.
>> I FELT LIKE IT JUST GAVE YOU
THE MINDSET TO THINK ABOUT WHAT
YOU COULD BE IN, AND HOW YOU
WOULD BE BEST PREPARED TO KEEP
EVERYONE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE.
>> THE PORT HURON POLICE
DEPARTMENT LIAISON ACTUALLY
TAUGHT SEVERAL SESSIONS TODAY,
INCLUDING ONE TO STUDENTS THIS
MORNING BECAUSE A TEACHER WANTED
HER STUDENTS TO HAVE THE TOOLS.
>> AND THE KIDS ACTUALLY STARTED
LOOKING AROUND FOR THINGS THAT
THEY WOULD PUT IN FRONT OF THE
DOOR.
THEY LOOKED AROUND AND SAW SOME
FILING CABINETS THAT WERE HEAVY
AND SAYING, HEY, YOU GUYS ARE
GOING TO PUSH THOSE IN FRONT OF
THE DOOR AND THESE PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO WORK ON GETTING THE
WINDOW OPEN IN CASE WE HAVE TO
ESCAPE AND OTHER KIDS STARTED
GRABBING THINGS AROUND THE ROOM
AND THEY WOULD USE THAT STUFF TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.
>> THE STAFFERS WERE TAUGHT A
LOT OF DIFFERENT OPTIONS, BUT
ONLY ONE, ONE, WAS TAKEN OFF THE
TABLE.
DO NOTHING.
EXPERTS SAY THAT IS NOT AN
