OVERNIGHT DETROIT POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING A DEADLY SHOOTING
IN CORK TOWN. POLICE ARE TELLING
US ADORE DAD DRIVER WAS SHOT AND
KILLED INSIDE AN APARTMENT
COMPLEX AND ROSA PARKS AND
BAGLEY WE’RE TOLD THERE WAS SOME
SORT OF AN ARGUMENT THAT BROKE
OUT AND THEN SOMEONE OPENED FIRE
ON THE DRIVER. WE ARE WORKING TO
LEARN MORE INFORMATION FOR YOU
ABOUT THIS INCIDENT THIS
MORNING. TIME NOW IS SEVEN. OH,
TWO AND A TRUCK DRIVER DIES
FOLLOWING AN EXPLOSION DURING A
JET FUELED SEMI TRUCK
PERFORMANCE. VERY SCARY VIDEO.
IT HAPPENED AROUND ONE O’CLOCK
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AT THE
BATTLE CREEK FIELD OF FLIGHT AIR
SHOW AND BALLOON FESTIVAL. THE
AIRSHOW SPOKESWOMAN SAYS THE
SHOCKWAVE JET TRUCK WAS GOING
DOWN A RUNWAY WHEN THE EXPLOSION
OCCURRED. THE DRIVER IS
IDENTIFIED AS 40 YEAR OLD CHRIS
DARNELL. ONE WOMAN IN ATTENDANCE
DESCRIBES HOW DRAMATIC THE SCENE
UNFOLDED. JUST BROKE APART. IT
JUST WAS LIKE PIECES WERE FLYING
EVERYWHERE. AND THEN THERE WAS A
HUGE EXPLOSION. FIRE EVERYWHERE
AND PEOPLE STARTED RUNNING. WOW
THAT IS SO SCARY. THE TRUCK WAS
POWERED BY TWO JET ENGINES AND
REACH SPEEDS TOPPING 300 MILES
AN HOUR. THE AIRSHOW
PERFORMANCES WERE CANCELED FOR
THE REST OF THE DAY YESTERDAY.
BUT WE’LL RETURN TODAY. BATTLE
CREEK POLICE ARE JOINING THE F A
AND INVESTIGATING WHAT WENT
WRONG. OUR OTHER TOP STORY,
DOZENS OF FLIGHTS EITHER DELAYED
OR CANCELED ACROSS THE U. S. THE
FLIGHT TRACKING WEBSITE FLIGHT
AWARE WHICH TRACKS FLIGHTS IN
REAL TIME, REPORTS OVER 3700
DELAYS WITHIN INTO OR OUT OF THE
COUNTRY. 163 FLIGHTS TODAY HAVE
ALREADY BEEN CANCELED. OUR MEGAN
WOODS JOINS US WITH AN UPDATE
FROM DETROIT METRO WE KEPT
CHECKING AND CHECKING. IN FACT,
WHEN WE CHECKED IN, IT WAS FINE
. BY THE TIME WE GOT DOWN TO THE
GATE, IT WAS AN HOUR LATE.
DETROIT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE
A LAYOVER FOR BRENDA MCCORMICK.
SHE’S LEAVING A CONFERENCE IN
MONTREAL AND HEADING BACK HOME
TO WISCONSIN PLANE WAS DELAYED
IN MONTREAL. SO THEREFORE I
MISSED MY CONNECTING FLIGHT. AND
THEY REBOOKED ME ON THE FIRST
AVAILABLE, BUT THAT’S A FIVE
HOUR WAIT, SO I SHOULD BE HOME
NOW. BUT INSTEAD SHE’S STUCK
HERE AT DETROIT METRO AIRPORT.
THEN THERE’S COLIN FUJIAN Z. HE
FLEW FROM GERMANY TO BE BACK
WITH FAMILY IN TIME FOR THE
HOLIDAY. YES I DID HAVE A DELAY
THROUGH AMSTERDAM AIRPORT WAS ON
STRIKE LIKE 24 HOURS AGO. FOR I
DON’T KNOW, HALF A DAY OR
SOMETHING THAT WAS CRAZY. HE
SAYS. HE KNOWS IT COULD HAVE
BEEN WORSE. THERE WERE SOME
EXPECTATIONS THAT IS GOING TO BE
A LITTLE BIT MORE BUSY BECAUSE
IT WAS FOUR OR FIVE OTHER GUYS
WHO WERE FLYING WITH AND MOST OF
THEIR FLIGHTS WERE EITHER
CANCELED AND RESCHEDULED OR JUST
DELAYED. AND THAT WAS WHERE
MEGAN WOODS REPORTING ACROSS THE
COUNTRY. THERE ARE CURRENTLY 190
CANCELATIONS IN AND OUT OF THE
U. S. MORE THAN 450 DELAYS HERE
AT HOME. DETROIT METRO ISN’T
DOING TOO BAD REPORTING ONLY 15
DELAYS AND FOUR CANCELATIONS.
AND IF YOU’RE DRIVING ANYWHERE
THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND NEED TO
FILL UP YOUR GAS TANK, HERE’S
WHAT YOU’LL BE PAYING
NATIONWIDE, THE AVERAGE COST OF
A GALLON OF GAS CONTINUES ITS
SLOW DECLINE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
DRIVERS PAYING AN AVERAGE OF 4
81 A GALLON HERE IN MICHIGAN
DRIVER’S AT ABOUT 4 95. THAT’S
SEVEN CENTS LESS THAN THIS TIME
LAST WEEK. IN METRO DETROIT
PRICES STILL LITTLE HIGHER AT
505 A GALLON. AND IF YOU’RE
TRAVELING WEST TO GRAND RAPIDS,
MUSKEGON OR HOLLAND, YOU’LL BE
PAYING FOR 85 NORTH OF THAT UP
IN TRAVERSE CITY, THE AVERAGES
OF PENNY HIGHER AT 4 86. AND IF
YOU’RE HEADING ALL THE WAY UP TO
MACKINAW GET READY BECAUSE IT IS
MORE EXPENSIVE THERE ACROSS THE
BRIDGE AT 5 11 A GALLON MICHIGAN
STATE UNIVERSITY WILL BE PUTTING
A STEEL SAFETY BARRIER ALONG A
HALF MILE STRETCH OF THE RED
CEDAR RIVER AFTER THE DROWNING
DEATH OF BRENDAN SANTO. THAT’S
ACCORDING TO THE LANSING STATE
JOURNAL. THE UNIVERSITY
INSTALLED TEMPORARY FENCING
ALONG A PORTION OF THE RIVER
AFTER THE BODY OF SANTO WAS
FOUND IN THE RIVER IN JANUARY.
WORK ON THE PERMANENT FENCING IS
EXPECTED TO BEGIN TUESDAY AND BE
FINISHED. BY THE END OF AUGUST.

AND YOU’RE GONNA I CAN FEEL THE
LOOK. YOU’RE GONNA GIVE ME A
SECOND HERE. BUT THERE’S A LOT
OF EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN
VEGETARIAN BARBECUE RIGHT NOW,
WHICH I KNOW THAT SOUNDS WEIRD,
BUT REALLY GOOD RECIPES FOR THAT
. I WAS JUST WATCHING THEM
GRILLING AND I WAS LIKE, OH,

PERFECT DAY TO GET OUT THERE AND
GRILLED TACO OR RIB PERSON. CAN

OF SUNSHINE, BUT I’M LOOKING FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO
RETURN AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK. WE’LL BREAK DOWN WHEN
THE STORMS MOVE INTO YOUR
NEIGHBORHOOD. YOUR COMPLETE
FORECAST COMING UP IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES.
is vital to our future...
If protecting something We need big ideas.
Like DTE’s CleanVision.
CleanVision is about more than our doubling wind
and solar in just two years.
It means powering a different kind of future.
Cleaner energy, a cleaner environment,
and clearly better tomorrows.
It’s a big transformation, for all the little things.
Because little things really matter.
DTE.
MORNING. MORE POSITIVE. KANSAS CITY STRUCK FIRST YEAR GETTING A KEY DOUBLE TO GET TWO MEN IN,
BUT THE TIGERS WERE ON A
COMEBACK TRAIL BY THE FIFTH.
ERIC HAS HE HAD A TWO OUT SINGLE
TO LEFT FIELD TO BRING HOME
RILEY GREEN, MAKING A 3 TO 2
ROYALS. THAT SCORE GOES
UNCHANGED THE NINTH VICTOR REYES

FIRST HOME RUN OF THE SEASON AND
TIE UP THE GAME. OUR NEXT BATTER
WAS NONE OF THEM RILEY GREEN AND
WE’LL LET DAN DICKERSON TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT. WHILE THE
GREEN FLY BALL CENTER FIELD DEEP
TAYLOR BACK STILL GOING LOOKING
UP. RILEY GREENS FIRST CAREER
HOME RUN IS A WALK OFF. HARD TO
CENTER FIELD. IT DOES NOT GET
MUCH BETTER THAN THAT. RILEY
GREEN HITS IT TO THE DEEPEST
PART OF THE PARK, 432 FT TO
IMPROVE HIS BATTING AVERAGE
ABOVE 300. NEEDLESS TO SAY,
MANAGER A. J. HINCH WAS PROUD OF
HIM. HE JUST GETS GOOD PITCHES
AND GOOD AT BATS, AND HE’S IN A
GOOD PLACE. SELECTIVITY WISE,
AND HE DIDN’T MISS THAT LAST
ONE. THAT’S A THAT’S YOU KNOW,
YOU DON’T SEE THAT A LOT IN MY
SHORT TIME HERE, IT’S NOT MANY
GUYS CAN GO OUT THAT TO THE TWO
THOSE BUSHES. FINAL GAME AGAINST
THE ROYALS IS TODAY. FIRST PITCH

LOT OF THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
WITH THE TIGERS RIGHT NOW. MM
HMM. RECORD BUT RILEY GREEN IS
SUCH A BRIGHT SPOT ON THE FIELD
. ABSOLUTELY GREAT DATA TAKEN
SOME BASEBALL YESTERDAY. TODAY’S
DAY. THERE’S A GAME AT AMERICA
ON THE FOURTH OF JULY, SO IT’S
BEAUTIFUL. IT’S GOING TO BE
BEAUTIFUL. NOT ONLY FOR THAT
GOING TO THE POOL BECAUSE A LOT
OF SUNSHINE JUST REMEMBER YOU
AND I WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS
EARLIER. SPF 30 OR BETTER EVEN
WHEN IT’S NOT AS HUMID OUTSIDE
LIKE WE HAD YESTERDAY WHAT WE’RE
FORECASTING TODAY WITH SUNSHINE
OVER THE FACE NOSE, THOUGH I
DON’T KNOW WHY I SLATHER ON THEM
LIKE THE TIPS OF MY EARS. YEAH
I’LL GET A LITTLE LATE FOR ME,
AND I NOTICED THAT WHEN I PUT ON
THE SUITS, IT’S LIKE I SHOULD
HAVE PUT ON MORE SPF. I’M USING
50. I’M JUST SO WIDE. IT JUST
GOES TO SHOW GOOD REMINDER NOW
THAT WE’RE WELL INTO JULY. TAKE
THAT SUNSCREEN IF YOU’RE
SPENDING TIME OUTSIDE BUT THAT
HEAT AND HUMIDITY FOR SUMMER
RETURNS EARLY NEXT WEEK THIS
MORNING, NOT A BAD START A
LITTLE BIT OF HIGH CLOUD COVER
AND SOME SUNSHINE AS WE’RE
TAKING A LOOK FROM WINDSOR
ACROSS THE RIVER OVER INTO
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. 65 DEGREES
RIGHT NOW. HERE IN DETROIT. 61
IS YOU’RE WORKING INTO HOWELL 63
CHECKING IN THIS MORNING OVER IN
PONTIAC AND 61 OVER AND ADRIAN
ARE DUE. POINTS ARE IN THE
FORTIES AND FIFTIES ARE MEASURED
THE MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE
ATMOSPHERE. WE LOVE THESE
NUMBERS, BUT WE WILL START TO
DIAL UP MORE SUMMER HEAT AND
HUMIDITY BY THE TIME WE GET TO
EARLY NEXT WEEK FRONTAL BOUNDARY
TO THE NORTH FRONTAL BOUNDARY TO
THE SOUTH, WE ARE WEDGED RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT HIGH
PRESSURE OVER CENTRAL ILLINOIS.
THAT’S GONNA KEEP US HIGH AND
DRY. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE TODAY
THAT NORTHEASTERLY FLOW KEEPING
US ON THE LOW OUR HUMIDITY SIDE
OF THINGS FOR ANOTHER DAY. BUT
THEN WE GO INTO MONDAY AND
TUESDAY AND I AM LOOKING FOR
THUNDERSTORMS TO RETURN TO THE
FORECAST. THE STORM PREDICTION
CENTER HAS PLACED A GOOD CHUNK
OF SOUTH EASTERN MICHIGAN AND
THE GREEN. THAT’S A MARGINAL
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THAT’S
ONE OUT OF FIVE ON OUR SEVERE
WEATHER SCALE. I DO THINK GUSTY
WINDS OVER 60 MILES AN HOUR,
INHALE TO ONE INCH OUR PRIMARY
THREATS TOMORROW AS WELL AS SOME
HEAVY RAINFALL AND WE COULD USE
SOME RAIN. BUT REALLY THE TIMING
OF THIS NOT REAL CONDUCIVE FOR
ANY KIND OF TORNADO THREAT WITH
THUNDERSTORMS BY EARLY TUESDAY
MORNING, SO ENJOY THAT SUNSHINE
TODAY A LITTLE BIT OF HIGH CLOUD
COVER FROM TIME TO TIME,
ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THIS
AFTERNOON. MAINLY CLEAR SKIES
TONIGHT GIVES WAY TO MORE
SUNSHINE ON MONDAY. ENJOY IT. WE
ARE DRY FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE
FOURTH OF JULY ON MONDAY, GRAB
THE SUNGLASSES AND THAT
SUNSCREEN CLOUDS START TO
INCREASE THOSE AS WE GO TOWARDS
67 O’CLOCK MONDAY EVENING, NOT A
WASHOUT. DON’T CANCEL THE PLANS
. THOSE THUNDERSTORMS COME LATE
MONDAY NIGHT OVERNIGHT INTO
EARLY ON TUESDAY MORNING. SEVEN
O’CLOCK TUESDAY MORNING AS WE’RE
HEADING BACK TO WORK RADAR,
MAYBE A LITTLE NOISY WITH
SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
ON THE FORECAST. I DON’T THINK
IT’S A WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM
THREAT, NEVERTHELESS, WITH THE
DEVELOPING COMPLEX, THE MODELS
ARE SHOWING WELL OFF TO OUR WEST
. WE ARE GOING TO BRING IN THOSE
THUNDERSTORMS LATE MONDAY NIGHT
INTO TUESDAY, AND I’M KEEPING
MORE CLOUD COVER AROUND FOR
TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY
TUESDAY EVENING, ALTHOUGH OUR
LATEST RUNS HERE ARE MODELS
START TO BREAK UP THAT CLOUD
COVER A LITTLE BIT, BUT HOLD ON
TO THAT UMBRELLA. THOSE
THUNDERSTORMS STICK AROUND FOR
THE MAJORITY OF NEXT WEEK, SO
ENJOY THE SUNSHINE AND LOWER
HUMIDITY AS WE HEAD THROUGHOUT
THE DAY. WE’RE IN THE MID
SIXTIES BY EIGHT O’CLOCK THIS
MORNING, UPPER SEVENTIES BY
LUNCHTIME, MID EIGHTIES,
ABUNDANT SUNSHINE. BY THE TIME
WE GET TO LATE THIS AFTERNOON,
WE’RE BACK INTO THE SIXTIES
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT AND THEN UPPER
EIGHTIES TO NEAR 90 DEGREES
TOMORROW FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
ISOLATED LATE DAY THUNDERSTORMS
, ESPECIALLY AFTER SUNSET, WITH
BETTER CHANCES FOR STORMS FOR
EVERYBODY ON TUESDAY, AND THEN
WE KEEP THOSE CHANCES OF SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
FORECAST WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY
WITH DRY OR OTHER WAY WHETHER I
SHOULD SAY ON THE WAY AS WE GO
FROM FRIDAY AND IN THE FIRST
HALF OF NEXT WEEKEND GRAND PRIYA
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, BRIAN
STILL TO COME. FIREWORKS
DISPLAYS ARE A STAPLE FOR THE
FOURTH OF JULY, BUT NOT EVERYONE
FEELS COMFORTABLE WITH THEM
COMING UP NEXT, HOW ONE
COMMUNITY IS LIGHTING UP THE
SKIES WITH A VERY DIFFERENT KIND
OF DISPLAY THIS YEAR. GET READY
