DETROIT POLICE ON THE SEARCH FOR A MAN CONSIDERED TO BE ARMED AND DANGEROUS. OFFICERS DECLARED A
BARRICADED SITUATION AFTER THEY
BELIEVE THE MAN WENT INSIDE A
FAMILY’S HOME ON THE CITY’S WEST
SIDE. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US
TONIGHT. I’M WILL JONES AND I’M
PAMELA OSBORNE.
>> THAT FAMILY INCLUDES TWO
YOUNG CHILDREN, WAS SENT RUNNING
FROM THEIR HOME ON TRINITY
STREET NEAR EVERGREEN AFTER AN
HOURS LONG STANDOFF. POLICE WENT
INSIDE THE HOME AND FOUND NO ONE
AT ALL. JACQUELINE FRANCIS HAS
BEEN ON THE SCENE FOR HOURS.
JACQUELINE WHAT CAN YOU TELL US
ABOUT THIS MAN THAT POLICE ARE
LOOKING FOR? CHIEF WHITE GOT
RIGHT TO IT.
>> HE SAYS THAT THIS MAN IS PART
OF AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS GROUP,
THAT THEY BELIEVE IS TIED TO TWO
RECENT KILLINGS. NOW, TONIGHT,
WE’RE TOLD THAT MAN WAS TRYING
TO ESCAPE FROM POLICE WHEN HE
RAN UP TO A RANDOM FAMILY’S
HOME, SENDING THAT FAMILY
RUNNING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION
FOR HOURS. WE WATCHED THOSE
PARENTS, THOSE TWO YOUNG KIDS
AND EVEN THE FAMILY DOG WAITING
OUTSIDE WITH OFFICERS WONDERING
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON
INSIDE THEIR HOUSE. FINALLY,
POLICE WENT INSIDE. THAT SUSPECT
WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. SO NOW
THE SEARCH CONTINUES. IT’S A LOT
TO UNPACK THIS STANDOFF STEMS
FROM A RECENT CRIME SPREE
INVOLVING A GROUP THAT DETROIT
POLICE HAVE BEEN TRACKING.
>> THIS IS AN EXTREMELY VIOLENT
GROUP THAT OUR CRIME
INTELLIGENCE PICKED UP ON ON A
PATTERN.
>> CHIEF JAMES WHITE BELIEVES
THE GROUP HAS INFORMATION ON TWO
DEADLY SHOOTINGS, A CARJACKING
AND A NON DEADLY SHOOTING. ONE
OF THE DEADLY SHOOTINGS HAPPENED
DURING AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY AT A
CONEY ISLAND ON THE CITY’S WEST
SIDE. EARLIER THIS WEEK, TAKING
THE LIFE OF A 34 YEAR OLD MAN.
WE BELIEVE THAT THIS GROUP IS
GOOD FOR THAT, OR AT LEAST HAS
INFORMATION ON THAT MURDER
ROBBERY.
>> AND WE ALSO BELIEVE, BASED ON
THE PATTERN AND SOME INFORMATION
FROM OUR CRIME INTELLIGENCE UNIT
, THAT THEY ARE LIKELY TIED TO
THESE OTHER EVENTS THAT I’VE
SPOKE OF. POLICE SAY OFFICERS
SPOTTED THE GROUP’S CAR AROUND
630 SATURDAY EVENING AND A CHASE
ENSUED.
>> THE MEN DUMPED THE CAR ON THE
CITY’S WEST SIDE. TWO GOT AWAY
AS FOR THE OTHER ONE SUSPECT,
WHICH WE WERE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT AND WANTED TO FOCUS ON,
ENTERED A HOME IN THE 17,700
BLOCK OF TRINITY.
>> UPON ENTERING THAT HOME, THE
FAMILY INSIDE OF THAT HOME RAN
OUT. TWO CHILDREN, A HUSBAND AND
WIFE.
>> POLICE SAY IT’S UNCLEAR WHERE
HE WAS ON THE PROPERTY, BUT THAT
HE CHOSE IT AT RANDOM EVERY ONE,
INCLUDING THE FAMILY DOG, MADE
IT OUT SAFELY. THEY’RE HOLDING
UP REALLY WELL.
>> THE OFFICERS DID A FANTASTIC
JOB OF CALMING THEM DOWN, AS YOU
CAN IMAGINE, AND THEY FEEL VERY
SAFE WITH THE OFFICERS RIGHT
NOW. HOURS LATER, POLICE WENT
INSIDE THE HOME AND THE SUSPECT
WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
>> AND SO THE SEARCH CONTINUED
AS. SO WITHIN THE LAST HOUR,
POLICE ESCORTED THE FAMILY BACK
INTO THEIR HOME. THE SEARCH FOR
THE THREE SUSPECTS CONTINUES. NO
NAMES OF THE SUSPECTS WERE
RELEASED TONIGHT, BUT WE EXPECT
TO LEARN MUCH MORE ABOUT THIS
WHOLE SITUATION IN THE COMING
DAYS. REPORTING LIVE IN DETROIT,
JACQUELINE FRANCIS, LOCAL 4.
>> ALL RIGHT, JACQUELINE, THANK
YOU. BREAKING TONIGHT IN
INKSTER, A 17 YEAR OLD BOY IS
HURT AFTER A SHOOTING THAT TOOK
PLACE THERE. IT HAPPENED AROUND
9:00 TONIGHT IN THE AREA OF
MIDDLEBELT AND GLENWOOD POLICE
SAY THE VICTIM WAS SHOT IN THE
LEG. HE IS EXPECTED TO BE OKAY.
THEY.
>> MORE BREAKING NEWS FROM OUR
NATION’S CAPITAL. A MAJOR
BREAKTHROUGH THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT ON THE NEGOTIATIONS TO
RAISE THE DEBT CEILING. NBC NEWS
REPORTS NEGOTIATOR FOR THE WHITE
HOUSE AND HOUSE REPUBLICANS HAVE
REACHED AN AGREEMENT IN
PRINCIPLE TO RAISE THE DEBT
CEILING AND CAP FEDERAL
SPENDING. THIS COMING JUST DAYS
BEFORE THE US COULD RUN OUT OF
MONEY TO PAY ITS BILLS. HOUSE
SPEAKER KEVIN MCCARTHY BELIEVES
THE DEAL IS FAIR. I BELIEVE THIS
IS AN AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE
THAT’S WORTHY OF THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.
>> IT HAS HISTORIC REDUCTIONS IN
SPENDING, CONSEQUENTIAL REFORMS
THAT WILL LIFT PEOPLE OUT OF
POVERTY INTO THE WORK FORCE,
REIN IN GOVERNMENT OVERREACH.
THERE ARE NO NEW TAXES, NO NEW
GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS. THERE’S A
LOT MORE WITHIN THE BILL. WE
STILL HAVE MORE WORK TO DO
TONIGHT TO FINISH ALL THE
WRITING OF IT.
>> A VOTE ON THE DEAL IS
EXPECTED TO HAPPEN ON WEDNESDAY.
IF APPROVED, THE AGREEMENT WOULD
ALLOW THE COUNTRY TO KEEP
BORROWING MONEY UNTIL 2025. WITH
A BUSY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND IN
DOWNTOWN DETROIT, WE GOT A
PREVIEW OF WHAT THE DETROIT
POLICE IS DOING ON THEIR
SECURITY PLAN.
>> THERE’S A LOT HAPPENING
DOWNTOWN WITH BIG CROWDS COMING
OUT FOR THE ELECTRONIC MOVEMENT
FESTIVAL. POLICE SAY NEW THIS
YEAR, A 12 STEP SECURITY PLAN
HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE. DPD SAYS
THEY’RE UPPING THE POLICE
PRESENCE, BOTH SEEN AND UNSEEN.
STILL IN A PLACE IS A CITYWIDE
CURFEW FOR MINORS FOR THOSE 15
AND UNDER. IT TAKES EFFECT AT 10
P.M. AND 11 P.M. FOR MINORS AGES
16 AND 17. A DRIVER WHO CLAIMS
SHE WAS THE VICTIM OF A HIT AND
RUN ON I-94 COULD BE FACING
CHARGES FOR FIRING HER GUN.
>> THE REPORTED CRASH HAPPENED
LAST NIGHT AROUND 11 ON
WESTBOUND I-94 NEAR I-75. POLICE
SAY THE DRIVER WHO CALLED IN THE
CRASH CLAIMS SHE WAS REAR ENDED
AFTER BOTH CARS PULLED OVER. SHE
SAYS SHE TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE OTHER DRIVER. THAT’S
WHEN SHE SAYS THE CAR
ACCELERATED TOWARDS HER. SO SHE
FIRED A SHOT. POLICE WERE ABLE
TO TRACK DOWN THE OTHER CAR,
WHICH HAD A BULLET HOLE IN THE
HOOD. BUT GET THIS, POLICE SAY
THERE WAS NO CRASH RELATED
DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE. THE
CASE WILL BE HANDED OVER TO THE
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE FOR REVIEW.
A BOIL WATER ADVISORY IS STILL
IN EFFECT FOR SEVERAL METRO
DETROIT COMMUNITIES.
>> THE GREAT LAKES WATER
AUTHORITY SAYS THE FIRST ROUND
OF TESTING CAME BACK CLEAR FOR
THE CITY OF WAYNE AND PARTS OF
ROMULUS. WESTLAND AND INKSTER.
WATER OFFICIALS ISSUED THE
ADVISORY DUE TO A LOSS IN WATER
PRESSURE. THE ADVISORY REMAINS
IN EFFECT UNTIL A SECOND ROUND
OF TESTING RETURNS CLEAR DATA
THAT’S SET TO BE FINISHED
TOMORROW. REMEMBER, UNTIL THEN,
YOU HAVE TO BOIL YOUR WATER FOR
ONE MINUTE, LET IT COOL OR YOU
NEED TO BE USING BOTTLED WATER.
YOU DO NEED THAT FOR DRINKING
WATER, MAKING ICE BRUSHING YOUR
TEETH, WASHING YOUR DISHES AND
FOR YOUR PET’S WATER BOWL. A
BEAUTIFUL DAY ACROSS METRO
DETROIT AND IT CONTINUES
TONIGHT.
>> THOUSANDS GATHERING IN HART
PLAZA FOR THE MOVEMENT FESTIVAL.
YOU’RE LOOKING LIVE AS THE PARTY
IS STILL GOING ON UNTIL
MIDNIGHT. WE HAVE TIME TO GET
THERE IF WE WANT TO. I KNOW.
>> I MEAN, I CAN’T HEAR IT, BUT
I IMAGINE IT’S A HECK OF A GOOD
TIME OUT THERE. LET’S TURN OUR
ATTENTION OVER TO RON HILLIARD.
HE’S GOT A LOOK AT OUR HOLIDAY
FORECAST. AND HEY, HOW’S IT
GOING TO BE TONIGHT IF WE DECIDE
TO SKIP OUT THERE?
>> WELL, IT’S GOING TO BE PRETTY
NICE. I WAS JUST THINKING LIKE
WE NEED AN AUDIO WITH THAT, YOU
KNOW, SOME AUDIO. COME ON. WE
NEED SOME NICE WEATHER OUT
THERE. AND WE HAVE IT. WE HAVE A
FEW CLOUDS ROLLING IN. THAT’S
OKAY. WE DON’T HAVE ANY RAINFALL
WITH IT. SO THOSE CLOUDS MAKING
THE CLOUDS MAKING THE SKIES
PARTLY CLOUDY TO MOSTLY CLOUDY,
DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU ARE
TONIGHT. BUT FOR THE MOST PART,
THAT’S GOING TO CLEAR ON OUT.
YOU CAN SEE MORE OF THAT ACTION
IS MOVING UP IN OUR DIRECTION.
THE RAIN, THOUGH, IS GOING TO
STAY TO OUR SOUTH. SO WHAT WE
HAVE OUT THERE TONIGHT, ALL
ACROSS THE AREA, WE HAVE MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES THE FARTHER NORTH
YOU GO, BUT THEN YOU START TO
GET PARTLY CLOUDY. FAIR
CONDITIONS AS YOU GET FARTHER
TOWARD THE SOUTH BECAUSE ALL
THOSE CLOUDS, THOUGH, ARE MOVING
UP FROM THE SOUTH. SO WHAT WE
HAVE TONIGHT ACROSS THE STATE
AND ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES
REGION, MOSTLY NICE CONDITIONS.
AGAIN, THE FARTHER NORTH YOU GO,
THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GOING TO SEE
THOSE CLEAR SKIES. YOU MIGHT
EVEN SEE THE STARS AS YOU GET UP
INTO THE BAY REGION. SO TONIGHT,
ACROSS OUR AREA, HERE’S ANOTHER
LOOK AT IT. WE’LL CHECK IT HERE.
BUT I KNOW THEY’RE MOVING DOWN
THERE AND JAMMING. VERY NICE IN
HART PLAZA RIGHT NOW. THE
TEMPERATURE COMING IN AT AROUND
60 DEGREES IN DETROIT. YOU’RE
CLOSER TO AROUND 50 DEGREES
ALREADY WITH 51 IN ANN ARBOR, 52
IN PORT HURON. STILL HOLDING ON
FARTHER TOWARD THE SOUTH. OF
COURSE, 61 IN ADRIAN. THOSE
WINDS VERY LIGHT TO ABOUT CALM.
SO TONIGHT WE HAVE NEAR NORMAL
TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA
WILL BE IN THE LOWER 50S, CLOSER
TO THE CITY, UPPER 40S IN SOME
OF THE SUBURBS. IS WARM WEATHER
COMING UP, THOUGH. SO IF YOU
WANT THE LATEST INFORMATION YOU
