HURT. GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M KAREN DREW FIRST AT FOUR OLD MAN. WINTER IS ABOUT TO PROVE HE’S
NOT DONE WITH US. YET IT’S
GETTING COLDER AND RAIN IS
TURNING TO ICE AND SNOW OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS. HERE’S A LOOK
OUTSIDE AT THE CURRENT
CONDITIONS. THAT’S DOWNTOWN
DETROIT, MOUNT CLEMENS AND ARBOR
AND WE ARE WATCHING THE ROADS
FOR YOU ON THE LOWER RIGHT OF
YOUR SCREEN. YOU CAN SEE I 75
SOUTH AT SQUARE LIKE RIGHT NOW.
WE ARE ALSO TRACKING WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORIES. LET’S CHECK
IN WITH METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS,
KIM WELL, LET’S START WITH THE
GOOD NEWS AND THAT IS IF YOU
TRAVEL IN THE EARLY PART OF THE
COMMUTE THIS EVENING, YOU’LL BE
JUST FINE. THERE ARE A COUPLE
AREAS THAT ARE JUST STARTING TO
GET SOME LIGHT FREEZING DRIZZLE
BUT MOST OF SOUTHEAST LOWER
MICHIGAN IS STILL DRY. IF YOU’RE
TRAVELING UP INTO THE THUMB,
DIFFERENT STORY, THERE’S A LOT
OF SNOW UP THERE AND ALSO SOME
ICE AS WELL. BUT HERE IN METRO
DETROIT, WE’RE JUST LOOKING AT
SOME VERY, VERY LIGHT, ICY
CONDITIONS IN PARTS OF MACOMB IN
MACOMB COUNTY, AND THEN WE’LL GO
IN A LITTLE BIT TIGHTER FOR YOU
HERE SO YOU CAN SEE IN ROMEO.
THIS IS VERY LIGHT FREEZING
DRIZZLE SOME OF IT NOT EVEN
REACHING THE GROUND YET, BUT
OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS,
THINGS WILL START GETTING GOING
A LITTLE BIT HEAVIER. AS WE LOOK
BACK OUT TO OUR SOUTHWEST, WE DO
HAVE JUST SOME MOISTURE STARTING
TO WORK ITS WAY IN. BUT THE
FIRST HALF OF THE EVENING
COMMUTE DOES LOOK LIKE IT
SHOULDN’T BE TOO MUCH OF A
PROBLEM. WE ARE STILL UNDER A
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UNTIL
FOUR AM WILL EXPECT ANY OF THE
FREEZING DRIZZLE THAT FALLS IN
THE NEXT FEW HOURS TO CHANGE
OVER TO SNOW LATER ON TONIGHT,
TEMPERATURES RIGHT AT THAT
FREEZING LINE, SO WE’LL TALK
ABOUT THE FULL FORECAST COMING
UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. AND IF
YOU WANT TO KEEP A RADAR IN THE
PALM OF YOUR HAND, ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS GO TO YOUR FAVORITE APP
STORE TYPE IN WDIV’S AND
DOWNLOAD THE 4WARN WEATHER APP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. KIM OUR
OTHER TOP STORY AT THIS HOUR IS
THE VERY LATEST INFORMATION ON
THE DEADLY CAMPUS SHOOTINGS AT
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. WE
ARE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE
GUNMAN, THE WEAPONS HE WAS
CARRYING, AND NOTES FOUND ON HIS
BODY. INVESTIGATORS DID HOLD A
BRIEFING THIS MORNING. SHAWN LEY
WAS THERE AND JOINS US NOW. SO
SEAN, WHAT STOOD OUT TO YOU IN
THIS BRIEFING? I’LL TELL YOU
WHAT. KAREN GOOD EVENING FROM
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY. THE
BIG HEADLINE HERE WOULD BE THAT
NOTE THAT WAS IN THE WALLET OF
THE SHOOTER, HANDWRITTEN NOTE
SAYING HE WAS TARGETING MICHIGAN
STATE UNIVERSITY FOR KEYHOLE
RIGHT BEHIND ME HERE, BUT ALSO
ANOTHER LIST OF LOCATIONS AND
PEOPLE THAT HE WAS ALSO LIKELY
TARGETING. THERE’S EVERYTHING WE
KNOW RIGHT NOW. MSU POLICE.
LANSING POLICE. THE FBI,
UPDATING THE DETAILS TODAY OF
MONDAY’S HORRIFIC SHOOTING AT
MICHIGAN STATE. NEW DETAILS WITH
POLICE SWARMING THE CAMPUS,
HELPING THE VICTIMS AND
SEARCHING FOR THE GUNMAN. POLICE
GOT A TIP THAT THE SUSPECTED
SHOOTER WAS WALKING MORE THAN
THREE MILES OFF CAMPUS. MSP
CLOSED IN CALLED OUT TO THE MAN,
HE SAID NOTHING WE’RE TOLD AND
ENDED THE ORDEAL BY SHOOTING
HIMSELF. HE WAS IDENTIFIED AS
ANTHONY MCCRAY. WE LEARNED TODAY
THAT LEASE OPEN MCRAE’S WALLET
FINDING A HANDWRITTEN NOTE WHERE
MCCRAY SAID HE WOULD SHOOT UP
MSU. BUT ALSO NAMED OTHER
TARGETS. A CHURCH MEIJER
WAREHOUSE WHERE HE ONCE WORKED A
FAST FOOD PLACE A DISCOUNT
STORE. POLICE BELIEVE MCRAE WAS
PLANNING TO TARGET ANYONE WHO HE
FELT DISRESPECTED BY HE HAD HAD
CONTACT WITH SOME OF THOSE
PLACES. UM HE WAS AN EMPLOYEE OF
THE MIRE WAREHOUSE AT ONE TIME.
UH IN A COUPLE OF OTHER
BUSINESSES, IT APPEARS THAT HE’D
HAD SOME ISSUES WITH THE
EMPLOYEES THERE WHERE HE WAS
ASKED TO LEAVE. SO IT LOOKS LIKE
HE POSSIBLY A MOTIVE FOR THAT
WAS HE JUST FELT SLIGHTED, AND
THAT’S KIND OF WHAT THE NOTE
INDICATED. BACK YOUR LIFESTYLE
IS THE FIRST INDICATION OF
POSSIBLE MOTIVE HERE FEELING
SLIGHTED BY OTHERS DIFFERENT
PLACES HE WOULD GO CHURCH, HIS
FORMER EMPLOYER, EVEN PERHAPS
HERE AT MSU CARE, AND YOU WERE
THE FIRST TO SAY THAT HE WAS
PERHAPS TRYING TO GET A JOB
HERE. THAT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO
DO WITH ALL OF THIS. LOOK, YOU
MENTIONED THOSE GUNS. WE WERE
ABLE TO CONFIRM YESTERDAY AT
FIVE O’CLOCK THAT HE HAD TWO
GUNS ON HIM WHEN HIS REMAINS
WERE FOUND. BOTH ARE NINE
MILLIMETERS HANDGUNS, ALSO A BIG
PACK OF AMMO IN HIS BACKPACK.
BOTH THOSE HANDGUNS WERE LEGALLY
PURCHASED, BUT WERE NOT
REGISTERED MUCH MORE COMING UP
AT FIVE. BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT WE
APPRECIATE YOU DOING ALL THIS
DIGGING INTO THE STREET. THANK
YOU, SEAN. WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER
UPDATES FOR YOU. THE FIVE
STUDENTS WHO WERE INJURED REMAIN
IN SPARROW HOSPITAL AT THIS
HOUR, FOUR LISTED IN CRITICAL
WITH ONE BEING UPGRADED TO
STABLE BERKEY HALL. ONE OF THE
SHOOTING SCENES WILL BE CLOSED
THE REST OF THE SEMESTER. THE
OTHER SHOOTING SCENE, THE MSU
UNION IS STILL BEING EVALUATED.
THE MSU CAMPUS RESUMES STANDARD
OPERATIONS TODAY, BUT CLASSES
REMAINED CANCELED. TILL NEXT
MONDAY. THE MICHIGAN STATE AND
MICHIGAN MEN’S BASKETBALL GAME
WILL BE PLAYED AS SCHEDULED
SATURDAY AT EIGHT P.M. IN ANN
ARBOR. DETROIT HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT IS BEING REMEMBERED
TODAY BY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND
STUDENTS AT NORTHWESTERN HIGH
SCHOOL. YOU MAY RECALL CARTIER
WOODS WENT INTO CARDIAC ARREST
DURING A BASKETBALL GAME AND
LATER DIED. HIS FUNERAL WAS HELD
THIS AFTERNOON AFTER THE
SERVICES CASKET TRAVELED PAST
THE HIGH SCHOOL PULLED BY A
HORSE DRAWN CARRIAGE. WOODS WAS
JUST 18 YEARS OLD. WELL FOLKS IN
VAN BUREN TOWNSHIP OF BREATHING
ASIDE RELIEF TODAY AFTER A TRAIN
DERAILMENT STOPPED TRAFFIC. IT
WAS QUITE A MESS, BUT IT HASN’T
LED TO MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS.
ABOUT SEVEN CARS DERAILED ON
HERE ON DR BETWEEN MARTINSVILLE
AND HAGGERTY ROADS. FOUR WAS
OVER THE SCENE THIS MORNING.
SEVERAL CARS CARRY COAL ONE WAS
CARRYING HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
NOW. LUCKILY THE VAN BUREN FIRE
TO SAYS THAT CAR WAS NOT
IMPACTED AND HAD NO LEAKS. THE
TRAIN IS OPERATED BY NORFOLK
SOUTHERN, THE SAME COMPANY
BEHIND THE MORE SERIOUS
DERAILMENT IN OHIO LAST WEEK.
RIGHT NOW, HAGGERTY ROAD HAS
REOPENED, BUT HERE ON RIVER
DRIVE DOES REMAIN CLOSED. SHORT
TIME AGO, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
GAVE HIS FIRST EXTENDED COMMENTS
ON THE FLYING OBJECTS THAT HAVE
BEEN SHOT DOWN IN THE UNITED
STATES AND CANADA. HIS STATEMENT
DIDN’T LAST LONG, ABOUT EIGHT
MINUTES. THE PRESIDENT REPEATED
SOME INFORMATION DESIGNED TO
REASSURE AMERICANS I WANT TO BE
CLEAR. WE DON’T HAVE ANY
EVIDENCE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A
SUDDEN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF
OBJECTS IN THE SKY. WE’RE NOW
JUST SEEING MORE OF THEM
PARTIALLY BECAUSE THE STEPS
WE’VE TAKEN TO INCREASE OUR
RADARS AND NARROW OUR RADARS.
AND WE HAVE TO KEEP ADAPTING OUR
APPROACH TO DELAY TO DEALING
WITH THESE CHALLENGES. PRESIDENT
ALSO SAID THE THREE OBJECTS SHOT
DOWN, INCLUDING THE ONE OVER
LAKE HURON. WE’RE NOT TIED TO
CHINA’S SPY BALLOON PROGRAM AND
ARE LIKELY FROM PRIVATE ENTITIES
EXACTLY WHERE THEY CAME FROM
STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. WE
ARE GETTING A PEEK INSIDE A
SPECIAL GRAND JURY THAT
INVESTIGATED FORMER PRESIDENT
DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES IN
CONNECTION TO THE 2020
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. IN
GEORGIA. NEWLY RELEASED EXCERPTS
SHOW. THE GRAND JURY BELIEVES
ONE OR MORE WITNESSES COMMITTED
PERJURY. IT IS URGING LOCAL
PROSECUTORS TO BRING CHARGES THE
FORMER PRESIDENT NEVER TESTIFIED
, WHICH MEANS HE IS NOT AMONG
THOSE WHO MAY HAVE PERJURED
THEMSELVES. STILL THE CASE POSES
SOME LEGAL CHALLENGES FOR TRUMP
AS HIS ACTIONS WERE SO PUBLIC,
INCLUDING THAT RECORDED PHONE
CALL TO GEORGIA’S SECRETARY OF
STATE, WHERE TRUMP ASKED HIM TO
FIND THOUSANDS OF VOTES. THE
FULTON COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY
WILL MAKE THAT FINAL CALL ON ANY
POTENTIAL CRIMINAL CHARGES.
TEACHERS ARE COMING OFF SOME
REALLY TOUGH YEARS BECAUSE OF
COVID AND WITH THE TEACHER
SHORTAGE. WE KNOW SOME EDUCATORS
ARE REALLY STRUGGLING WITH
PURPOSE AND BANDWIDTH. SO TODAY
POLITICS WOMAN VISITED THE
ROSEVILLE COMMUNITY SCHOOL
DISTRICT WHERE TEACHERS HAVE
REDISCOVERED WHERE THE STRENGTH
COMES FROM, AND IT TURNS OUT
THEIR SUPERPOWER IS THEIR
STUDENTS. OKAY GET READY,
EVERYBODY. THIS IS AT LEAST A
FOUR TISSUE STORY. BUT DON’T
WORRY. THESE ARE THE KINDS OF
TEARS THAT ARE GOING TO MAKE YOU
HAPPY. THE CAMPAIGN STARTED AS
AN IDEA. TEACHERS WRITING NOTES
TO THEIR STUDENTS WONDERING WHY
YOU’RE HERE? YEAH THEY WANTED
THE STUDENTS TO KNOW HOW THEY
ARE INSPIRED BY THE YOUNG GUNS
THEY TEACH, DO WHAT WE DO, AND I
PICKED YOU AND THIS IS WHAT
HAPPENED WHEN THE CAMERAS
ROLLED. YOU ARE IT’S SUCH A
BRIGHT GIRL. I THINK THAT YOU
ARE PRETTY AWESOME. AND I THINK
YOU AND YOUR PARENTS SHOULD BE
PROUD. IMAGINE BEING THE
INSPIRATION FOR THOSE WHO
INSPIRE AND IN TURN, CREATING A
CYCLE OF INSPIRATION. YOU LIGHT
UP OUR CLASSROOM WITH YOUR
KINDNESS AND YOU’RE GOING TO
MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
THIS YEAR, I CAME BACK WITH A
POSITIVE ATTITUDE, KNOWING
EXACTLY WHY I’M HERE. I’M HERE
FOR THE STUDENTS, AND THAT’S
WHEN I DECIDED THAT ALL OF US
NEEDED THIS ROSEVILLE MIDDLE
SCHOOL AND THE ROSEVILLE
COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT. YOU
CAN FEEL THE LOVE AND
ADMIRATION. GO GET THIS EVERY
DAY. YOU DON’T GET IT EVERY DAY.
AND THEY NEED HIM NOW I’M GOING
TO CRY. THEY NEED TO HEAR IT.
THEY NEED TO KNOW THAT WE CARE
ABOUT THEM. WE LOVE THEM. WE’RE
HERE EVERY DAY FOR THEM. IT’S A
SENSE OF HOPE. YOU KNOW THAT WE
CAN GET BETTER AND THINGS ARE
GOING TO GET BETTER. YOU INSPIRE
MISS MORE AND I TO COME TO WORK
EVERY DAY. I JUST FEEL LIKE IT
WAS REALLY SWEET BECAUSE I HAVE
NO MR EARL SINCE SIXTH GRADE,
AND LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT
EVERYTHING WITH EACH OTHER, IT
WAS SWEET. BECAUSE, LIKE MISS
BAKER. LIKE I GO TO HER FROM
LIKE EVERYTHING LIKE THE SWEET
WORDS BEING SPOKEN FROM THE
HEART OR THE KINDS OF WORDS THAT
WE SO DESPERATELY NEED SPOKEN IN
THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY
RIGHT NOW, LIKE UM, TALK TO
MYSELF AND BE LIKE, HOW CAN I
GET GOING TO SCHOOL? AFTER THAT?
I WAS LIKE, OKAY. TIME TO GO TO
SCHOOL. I GOT TO SEE THIS BOILS
LIKE I HAVE TO. I HAVE TO. IT’S
A MUST. THAT VIDEO IS ACTUALLY
GETTING A LOT OF ACTION ON
SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT NOW, FOR ALL
THE RIGHT REASONS, BECAUSE
THEY’RE SPREADING VERY IMPORTANT
WORDS AND THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
OF JOY AT A TIME. HONESTLY, WE
COULD REALLY USE IT. PAULA
TUTMAN FOUR LOCAL THE
APPRECIATION CAMPAIGN WAS
ACTUALLY TO START TWO YEARS AGO
BUT WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF COVID
TURNS OUT THAT BECAUSE OF COVID,
