COOL OVER IN MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP. SIMILAR CALLS WERE RECEIVED ABOUT HURON HIGH SCHOOL IN ANN
ARBOR AND RENAISSANCE HIGH IN
DETROIT. POLICE RESPONDED.
DISTRICTS DID THEIR EMERGENCY
PROTOCOLS, AND IN EACH CASE, NO
REAL THREAT WAS UNCOVERED. THE
GOAL OF SO CALLED SWATTING IS TO
SEND POLICE OR SWAT TEAM TO A
CERTAIN LOCATION. NOW, HERE’S A
LIST OF THE REST OF THE
DISTRICTS THAT WE HAVE CONFIRMED
WERE AFFECTED TODAY. THEY WERE
SPREAD OUT ALL ACROSS THE STATE.
FEDERAL AGENTS FROM THE ATF ARE
ALSO INVOLVED IN THE
INVESTIGATION AS OFFICERS TRIED
TO TRACK DOWN WHO’S MAKING THE
CALLS FOR POSSIBLE CRIMINAL
CHARGES. MICHIGAN’S ATTORNEY
GENERAL, DANA NESSEL, WARNS THE
SWATTING HALLS CAN SEND YOU TO
JAIL FOR 93 DAYS FOR A
MISDEMEANOR. AND IF THINGS GET
DANGEROUS, YOU COULD GET UP TO
15 YEARS FOR A FALSE REPORT THAT
ENDS IN DEATH. SHAWN LEY PICKS
UP OUR INVESTIGATION OF THE
CALLS TONIGHT. AT FIVE MEANTIME
, MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN TRACKING
THIS STORY ON CLICKONDETROIT.COM

SALT TRUCK OVER ON DIXIE HIGHWAY

THREE ASPIRING RAPPERS WHOSE
BODIES WERE FOUND IN HIGHLAND
PARK, MICHIGAN. STATE POLICE

DEATH FOR ARMANI, KELLY, DANTE

INVESTIGATORS SAY THEY EACH DIED
FROM MULTIPLE GUNSHOT WOUNDS.
THEY WERE FOUND LATE LAST WEEK
AFTER BEING IN THE BASEMENT OF
AN ABANDONED BUILDING IN
HIGHLAND PARK. ADVANTAGED A FEW
WEEKS EARLIER. STATE POLICE ALSO
BELIEVE THEY KNOW THE MOTIVE FOR
THE KILLINGS. BUT THEY’RE NOT
SHARING DETAILS RIGHT NOW, ONLY
SAYING THIS WAS NOT A RANDOM
CRIME WILL BRING YOU MORE
INFORMATION AS SOON AS IT’S
AVAILABLE. ALRIGHT IN YOUR FIRST
FORECAST. OH WHAT A DIFFERENCE A
WEEK MAKES RIGHT SEVEN DAYS AGO
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT BITTER
COLD. TODAY WE HAVE HIT THE 50
DEGREE MARK. THE SUNSHINE
DOESN’T HURT EITHER. LET’S CHECK
IN WITH METEOROLOGIST CAME OUT
AND LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE SMILING
TODAY THEY ARE BUT YOU KNOW, IT
DEPENDS ON WHERE THEY LIVE. SO
IF YOU’RE ON THE EAST SIDE
YOU’RE HAVING A GRAND AFTERNOON
WAS SUNSHINE TEMPERATURES IN THE
FIFTIES. IF YOU’RE ON THE WEST
SIDE, YOU’RE LIKE, WHAT IS SHE
TALKING ABOUT? IT’S CLOUDY AND
30 DEGREES HERE. WE HAVE A
STRONG COLD FRONT COMING THROUGH
RIGHT NOW. BACK BEHIND IT.
TEMPERATURES ARE ONLY IN THE
THIRTIES 37 IN PONTIAC 38 IN HOW
39 FLINT 38 IN LAPEER AND THEN
ON THE WEST SIDE. WE’RE IN THE
FIFTIES BECAUSE THAT FRONT HAS
NOT COME THROUGH YET. SO IT’S 18
18 DEGREES WARMER RIGHT NOW THAN
IT WAS 24 HOURS AGO IN DOWNTOWN
DETROIT, BUT ONLY FIVE DEGREES
WARMER IN PONTIAC. YOU CAN SEE
HOW THE VISIBLE SATELLITE WE
DON’T SHOW YOU THIS A LOT. BUT
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE FROM
SPACE. YOU CAN SEE THE CLOUDS
BACK OUT TO THE WEST. AND THEN
WHAT YOU SEE HERE IN BLACK.
THAT’S ACTUALLY CLEAR SKIES, SO
LOTS OF CLOUDS IN ASSOCIATION
WITH THAT FRONT AND THAT’S WHY
THE WEST SIDE IS GETTING ALL
THAT STARTED. THE EAST SIDE IS
GETTING ALL THAT SUNSHINE AND
THE WARMER TEMPERATURES
TEMPERATURE TREND OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS, THOUGH WE TAKE
ANOTHER RUN AT THE FIFTIES ON
THURSDAY, I’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT
COMING UP IN THE FORECAST.

THROUGHOUT A MAJOR PORTION OF
TURKEY AND PARTS OF SYRIA AS

LIVED IN THAT COUNTRY, PART OF
SYRIA THAT WAS HIT IS PACKED

MULTIPLE PROBLEMS IN THAT AREA.

CONTEXT HERE. TURKEY’S PRESIDENT
