TOWNSHIP AND THEN SHOOTING HIMSELF I PERRYSBURG, OHIO.
LARRY SPRUILL HAS THE LATEST.
LARRY?
>> Larry: THINGS ARE RUNNING AS NORMAL AS POSSIBLE AT THIS GAS STATION RIGHT NOW.
BUT THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD IS TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
THE SHOOTING HAPPENED AT THIS GAS STATION THIS MORNING.
AND NOW PEOPLE ARE JUST CONCERNED AND WORRIED ABOUT THE CRIME HERE IN THIS AREA.
>> I GOT A PHONE CALL SAYING I NEED TO COM DOWN HERE.
>> Larry: THAT'S HOW TERENCE HALL GOT THE CALL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS BROTHER AND NIECE.
HIS BROTHER RAFAEL HALL, HIS NIECE AND ANOTHER WOMAN WERE HERE AT THIS GAS STATION WHEN SHOT TO DEATH BY THIS MAN, 27-YEAR-OLD GEORGE ANTHONY DAVIS, JR.
DAVIS PULLED UP DRIVING A SMALL SILVER SEDAN WHEN HE PULLED UP TO AN SUV.
DETECTIVES TELL ME THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE SUV HAVE A CHILD TOGETHER AND GOT INTO SOME TYPE OF ARGUMENT WHEN THINGS GOT HEATED.
>> HE PULLS A FIREARM FROM HIS WAISTBAND AND FIRES INTO THE VAN.
THEN HE FIRES TO THE GUY PUMPING THE GAS AND HE GOES BACK TO HIS VEHICLE.
IT APPEARS HE GOT ANOTHER GUN OR HE RELOADED AND CAME BACK AND FIRED MORE INTO THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS THE YOUNG MAN THAT WAS ON THE GROUND.
>> Larry: HALL SAID HIS BROTHER AND NIECE DID NOT DESERVE THIS.
>> IT'S A SHAME YOU CAN'T GO TO THE GAS STATION AROUND THE CORNER OR BEHIND YOUR HOUSE.
>> Larry: AFTER THE SHOOTING, DAVIS DROVE TO HIS COUSIN'S HOUSE AND THEY GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT.
DAVIS SHOT AND KILLED HIM AND DROVE OFF IN HIS CAR.
AND AGAIN, A TOTAL OF FOUR PEOPLE DEAD HERE IN THIS STORY.
BUT COMING UP AT 5:00, I'LL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THE VICTIMS IN THIS CASE.
WE'RE LIVE ON DETROIT'S WEST SIDE, I'M LARRY SPRUILL, LOCAL 4.
>> Karen: NOW BACK TO OUR BREAKING NEWS SITUATION THAT WAS OCCURRING EARLIER.
THE TRENCH COLLAPSE THAT OCCURRED IN STERLING HEIGHTS.
AND LET'S NOW JOIN -- FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
LET'S LISTEN INTO THE PRESS CONFERENCE.
>> YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A WALL SYSTEM SET UP.
DOES IT LOOK LIKE THAT WAS THE CASE HERE?
>> THERE IS NO SHORING ON THE SCENE.
I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OSHA.
AND WHEN THIS IS ALL SAID AND DONE, THEY'LL DO THEIR INVESTIGATION.
STERLING HEIGHTS POLICE DEPARTMENT IS ON THE SCENE AND I DON'T WANT TO PLACE BLAME ANYWHERE.
I WANT TO GET THE BODY OUT SAFELY WITHOUT MEN AND WOMEN GETTING HURT.
>> Reporter: [INAUDIBLE].
>> FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S A GOOD QUESTION BECAUSE I HAD THE SAME QUESTION.
WHERE OUR DPW -- OR I THINK IT WAS THE BOSS THAT WAS HERE, HE STATES HE KNOWS FOR A FACT HE WAS IN THE HOLE WHEN IT COLLAPSED.
>> Jermont: THE TOTAL PEOPLE WORKING ON THIS JOB, HOW MANY, DO YOUKNOW?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
>> Reporter: [INAUDIBLE].
>> WE STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHERE HE'S AT.
HE COULD BE ANYWHERE IN A TEN-FOOT SPAN AT THE BOTTOM OF THAT.
WE HAVE A BACK TRUCK COME FROM DPW WITH HELP FROM OAKLAND COUNTY'S MUTUAL AID SYSTEM AND SUCK THE DIRT OUT INSTEAD OF HAND SHOVELING IT.
UNLESS IN THE NEXT HALF-HOUR WE FIND WHERE HE'S AT AND CAN HAND DIG HIM OUT, I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE.
>> Reporter: YOU DON'T HAVE A VISUAL?
>> WE HAVEN'T EVEN IDENTIFIED WHERE HE IS IN THE TRENCH.
IT'S ABOUT 4 FEET WIDE AT THE TOP, MAYBE A LITTLE NARROWER AT THE BOTTOM I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S FROM ONE TO FIVE FEET ON TOP OF THE INDIVIDUAL.
THAT INFORMATION, I DON'T HAVE.
THE TRENCH IS ABOUT 18 FEET LONG.
WE'RE CERTAIN HE'S WITHIN A 10-FOOT GAP.
WE HAVE TO TAKE IT SLOWLY AND SAFELY.
>> Reporter: [INAUDIBLE].
>> IT'S TERRIBLE!
IT'S ANOTHER TRAGIC SCENE THAT MEN AND WOMEN HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THEIR DAILY JOBS.
>> Jermont: CHIEF, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> NO PROBLEM.
>> Jermont: AND THERE YOU HAVE IT.
>> Karen: AND THAT WAS JERMONT TERRY REPORTING AS WE HAVE UPDATED THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS LOST HIS LIFE IN THE TRENCH COLLAPSE.
THEY'RE ACTIVELY TRYING TO RETRIEVE THE VICTIM'S BODY FROM THAT COLLAPSE.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS SITUATION AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWING THIS AND HAVE MORE TONIGHT AT 5:00.
>>> WE DO HAVE ANOTHER SITUATION TO SHARE WITH YOU.
U.S. EDUCATION SECRETARY BETSY DeVOS HAS ANNOUNCED HER DEPARTMENT HAS LAUNCHED AN INVESTIGATION INTO MICHIGAN STATE'S TITLE 9 COMPLIANCE LOOKING AT THE REPORTS OF SEXUAL
VIOLENCE AGAINST FORMER EMPLOYEE LARRY NASSAR.
SEVERAL VICTIMS ARE IN ATTENDANCE IN LANSING WHERE A PACKAGE OF BILLS IS BEING INTRODUCED TO INCREASE PROTECTIONS FOR SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT UNDER THE LAW.
ROD MELONI IS THERE WORKING THAT STORY AND WILL HAVE THE LATEST AT 5:00.
>>> CLASSES WILL RESUME WEDNESDAY FOR STUDENTS AT STONEMAN DOUGLAS HIGH SCHOOL IN PARKLAND, FLORIDA, WHERE A GUNMAN KILLED 17 STUDENTS AND STAFF.
NEWS CAMERAS WERE KEPT OUTSIDE AND RECORDED THIS, AN IMAGE OF A BRIGHT RAINBOW IN THE CLOUDS ABOVE THE SCHOOL WHICH APPEARED ABOUT THE SAME TIME THE TEACHERS ARRIVED THIS MORNING.
ON SUNDAY, STUDENTS WERE ALLOWED TO RETURN TO THE SCHOOL FOR AN OPTIONAL ORIENTATION.
FOR SOME, IT WAS TIME TO RETRIEVE THE BOOKS AND BACKPACKS AND OTHER BELONGINGS THEY LEFT BEHIND IN THE CHAOS.
FOR OTHERS, IT WAS A TIME TO SEE THE FENCEDOFF FRESHMEN BUILDING WHERE THE SHOOTING TOOK PLACE AND SHARE DEEP EMOTIONS WITH FELLOW STUDENTS.
>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP TOUCHED ON THE FLOO SCHOOL SHOOTING WHILE MEETING WITH MANY OF THE NATION'S GOVERNORS AND MADE A POINT OF CRITICIZING SOME OF THE DEPUTIES, SAYING HE WOULD HAVE
DONE A BETTER JOB.
>> I THINK I -- I REALLY BELIEVE I WOULD RUN IN, EVEN IF I DIDN'T HAVE A WEAPON, AND I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WOULD HAVE DONE THAT, TOO, BECAUSE I KNOW MOST OF YOU.
BUT THE WAY THEY PERFORMED WAS A DISGRACE.
>> Karen: THE PRESIDENT SAID HE DOES NOT WANT ALL TEACHERS TO CARRY GUNS IN SCHOOL BUT SAYS HE WANTS TO ARM THOSE WHO HAVE A NATURAL TALENT FOR CARRYING A WEAPON.
>>> A 13-YEAR-OLD HAS BEEN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH A THREAT AGAINST A MIDDLE SCHOOL IN HURON TOWNSHIP.
PAULA TUTMAN HAS BEEN DIGGING INTO THE RECENT STRING O THREATS.
YOU'VE BEEN DOING RESEARCH TO SHOW THE OTHER SIDE, THAT THE DO OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
>> Paula: HERE'S THE THING.
COUNTIES ARE ABSOLUTELY INUNDATED WITH THREATS!
AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THREATS.
IT TAKES HUNDREDS OF HOURS TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE JUST A SINGLE THREAT.
SO THAT'S ALSO REALLY VERY TAXING ON THE TAXPAYER.
AND HERE'S THE OTHER THING.
IT IS JUST PLAIN ESCOURGE.
>> GOOD MORNING.
THIS MORNING, WE RECEIVED A BOMB THREAT.
>> Paula: THE MILAN SCHOOL DISTRICT IS NOT ALONE.
THREATS OF VIOLENCE ARE HAPPENING AT AN ALARMING RATE.
IT'S STARTLING.
>> IN 2016, WE CHARGE 17 DIFFERENT JUVENILES WITH FALSE REPORT OF TERRORISM, FALL REPORT OF A BOMB THREAT, BOTH FELONIES.
2017, THE EXACT SAME NUMBER, 17 DIFFERENT JUVENILES.
IN 2018, WE'VE ALREADY CHARGED FIVE DIFFERENT JUVENILES AND THREE SINCE STONEMAN DOUGLAS.
AND WHAT'S MAR SCARY IS THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS MORE THAN A DOZEN ACTIVE INVESTIGATIONS OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE, SCHOOL THREATS.
>> Paula: WAYNE COUNTY 44 CHARGES, FROM FALSE REPORT OR THREAT OF A BOMB TO MAKING TERRORIST THREATS.
THESE ARE FELONIES!
THE MALICIOUS TELECOMMUNICATIONS USE CHARGE ARE MISDEMEANOR.
>> DON'T KID AROUND BECAUSE WE DON'T KID AROUND.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
>> Paula: IN OAKLAND COUNTY, 6 COUNTS JUST SINCE THE SHOOTING IN FLORIDA, ONE WITH PAPERWORK STILL ON THE DESK OF WAYNE COUNTY PROSECUTOR JESSICA COOPER TO BE PROSECUTED TODAY.
>> WE ARE NOT KIDDING.
KIDDING IS NOT A DEFENSE.
ONE WAS A MOTHER WHO WAS ANGRY AT THE SCHOOL OR AT A TEACHER AND SHE MADE A THREAT.
>> Paula: THESE ARE A FEW OF THE LOW LIGHTS.
TRISTEN WINEMAN, KEJTS WRIGHT CHRISTIAN ROKE.
AND THEY'RE LEVERAGING THE LAW AS STERNLY AS POSSIBLE.
AND MANY SAY THEY'RE BEING TOO SEVERE WITH JUVENILES.
>> THIS IS MY LITTLE DARLING, HE'S ONLY KIDDING.
>> THE DAYS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SAYING IT'S A KID CRYING OUT FOR HELP OR SOME KID BEING A KID, THOSE DAYS ARE SO LONG OVER WITH, THEY DON'T EXIST ANYMORE.
>> MOST OF THE TIME IN THE JUVENILE FACILITIES, WE'RE GONNA CHARGE THE 20-YEAR FELONY.
>> Paula: YEAH, AND THAT'S THE THING.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 4-20 YEARS.
OAKLAND COUNTY HAS A 100% CONVICTION RATE FOR THESE KINDS OF CHARGES.
AND ADULTS, IT IS NO JOKE.
IT'S NO JOKE FOR JUVENILES EITHER.
BY THE WAY, IF YOU ARE A JUVENILE, THEY'VE GOT SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA SPECIAL FOR YOU.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT AT 6:00.
>> Karen: COMING UP "FIRST AT 4," DRAMATIC VIDEO RELEASED OF A FIRE AT A MAJOR U.S. AIRPORT.
WHAT IGNITED INSIDE SOMEONE'S BAG THAT LED TO CHAOS.
>> Ben: SUNSHINE IS OUT AND TEMPERATURES IN THE 50s ACROSS THE BOARD.
AND IT GETS WARMER TOMORROW.
WILL WE SET A RECORD?
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT COMING UP.
>> Karen: CONSTRUCTION WORKER TRAPPED AFTER A TRENCH COLLAPSED HAS DIED.
IT HAPPENED ABOUT 2:00, BETWEEN 18 AND 19 MILE ROADS.
THE WORKER PART OF A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR'S CREW.
HIS BODY HAS NOT YET BEEN LOCATED.
THE STRETCH OF SOUTHBOUND MOUND ROAD WIL ♪♪ >> Nick: A MENTORING PROGRAM YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE, AND IT'S ALL ROLLED INTO ONE.
>> Karen: WE'RE ON TOP OF STORIES MAKING HEADLINES AROUND THE WORLD THIS MONDAY.
THE SUPREME COURT REFUSES TO HEAR AN APPEAL FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP TO END THE DACA PROGRAM.
THE COURT SAID TODAY IT WILL STAY OUT OF THE DISPUTE FOR NOW, MEANING PARTICIPANTS WILL ABLE TO RENEW THAT YOU ARE STATUS.
THIS LESSENS PRESSURE ON CONGRESS.
>>> A DIET THAT COULD HELP REDUCE DEPRESSION.
RESEARCHERS FOUND PEOPLE WHO FOLLOWED THE SO-CALLED DASH DIET TO REDUCE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE WERE LESS LIKELY TO DEVELOP DEPRESSION OVER TIME.
IT'S RICH IN VEGGIES, FRUITS, AND WHOLE GRAINS, AND LIMITS SUGAR AND PROCESSED FOODS.
BEN IS BACK, AND SO IS THE SUN.
>> Ben: YEAH.
50-DEGREE TEMPERATURES IN FEBRUARY.
>> Karen: I'M LOVING IT AND TOMORROW WILL BE NICE TOO.
>> Ben: WARMER THAN TODAY.
TEMPERATURES THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE MID TO UPPER 30s.
SO WE'RE WELL ABOVE THAT.
52 AT METRO.
AND 40s OUT THERE.
BUT THERE'S SUNSHINE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
WE'LL KEEP THE SKIES CLEAR TONIGHT.
SO THAT MEANS THINGS WILL GET CHILLY BUT THEY'LL STAY ABOVE NORMAL INTO TOMORROW.
NOT MUCH TO LOOK AT SATELLITE AND RADARWISE.
RAIN IS OUT TO OUR SOUTH AND EAST.
AND THERE'S NOTHING COMING DOWN THE PIKE AT LEAST FOR NOW.
THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION WILL BE ROLLING IN HERE ON WEDNESDAY.
THAT'S GOOD NEWS FOR AREA RIVERS.
MOST OF THOSE HAVE RECEDED.
WE'VE STILL GOT AN ISSUE IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY, HURON RIVER IN HAMBURG TOWNSHIP, THAT'S UNDER A FLOOD ADVISORY UNTIL FRIDAY.
AND WE WAIT UNTIL WEDNESDAY FOR THE NEXT CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION.
THIS WILL BE RAIN.
THE COLD FRONT SINKS DOWN CLOSE TO US AND PIVOTS AROUND. THAT WILL KEEP SHOWERS AROUND AT LEAST OFF AND ON THROUGH THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY.
ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES IN FROM THE SOUTH.
THIS ONE IS PACKING MORE MOISTURE.
AND BY 7:00 A.M. ON THURSDAY, MAY SEE A COUPLE SPRINKLES AROUND.
BUT AS WE GET INTO THE EVENING HOURS OF THURSDAY, THAT CHANGES OVER TO SNOW AND LOOKS LIKE WE COULD SEE ACCUMULATIONS SNOW TOWARD THE TAIL END OF THURSDAY.
LET'S GET THROUGH NICE DAYS BEFORE THAT.
33 TONIGHT FOR THE LOW AND LOOK AT THE HIGHS TOMORROW.
AND KEEP IN MIND, OUR RECORD HIGH IS 63 TOMORROW.
WE'RE GONNA GET AWFULLY CLOSE TO THAT.
CALL IT 59 IN ROMULUS, 59 IN THE CITY.
LIKELY SEE 60s IN OUR SOUTH ZONE.
BLISSFIELD, LAMBERTVILLE, MORENCI.
AND WE'LL BOOST THE NUMBERS SOUTH OF DETROIT.
NORTH WILL BE UPPER 50s.
AND MID TO UPPER 50s ON TUESDAY.
AND WE'LL CLOSE THE BOOKS ON FEBRUARY AS WE HEAD TOWARD WEDNESDAY.
53 DEGREES AND COOLER WITH THE RAIN.
NUMBERS WILL KEEP GOING DOWN.
RAIN TURNING TO SNOW ON THURSDAY.
THE WEEKEND IS LOOKING GOOD.
WE'LL CLIMB OUT OF THE HOLE OF 39 ON FRIDAY.
BUT THAT'S AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND ALL GRAVY FROM THERE.
SUNSHINE AND MILD TEMPERATURES ON A NICE WEEKEND AHEAD.
KAREN?
>> Karen: STILL AHEAD, MISSING ON PURPOSE.
THE REASON A COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER LEFT THIS ONE SHORT, INSTEAD OF SETTING A NEW RECORD FOR CONSECUTIVE FREE THROWS MADE AT HIS SCHOOL.
MONICA LEWINSKY WEIGHS I

THIS IS GET A LOT OF ATTENTION ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
IN A NEW ESSAY FOR "VANITY FAIR," MONICA LEWINSKY SAID THE ME TOO MOVEMENT HAS FORCED HER TO CONFRONT THE POWER DYNAMICS OF HER 1990s AFFAIR WITH THEN-PRESIDENT CLINTON.
I SEE HOW PROBLEMATIC...
>> Karen: FILMMAKER KEVIN SMITH GETTING A LOT OF ATTENTION TODAY.
HE SURVIVED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK AND TWEETED OUT THIS PICTURE THIS MORNING.
THE PHOTO SHOWS HIM IN A HOSPITAL BED EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED.
HE HAD 100% BLOCKAGE OF HIS LAD ARTERY, THE WIDOWMAKER.
HE WENT TO THE HOSPITAL IN BETWEEN SHOWS AND IT SAVED HIS LIFE.
>>> THEY HAVE RELEASED SECURITY PICTURE OF A VAPE PEN CATCHING FIRE.
THE BAG CLEARED SCREENING AND THEN CAUGHT ON FIRE.
THE FIRE ONLY LASTED ABOUT A MINUTE BEFORE TSA AGENT EXTINGUISHED IT.
NO ONE WAS HURT IN THE INCIDENT.
INVESTIGATORS HAVE RULED IT AN ACCIDENT.
THE LITHIUM ION BATTERY IS BELIEVED TO BE THE CAUSE.
>>> ON SUNDAY IN A GAME, HE WAS FOULED AND WENT TO THE LINE KNOWING HE WAS TIED WITH FORMER IOWA PLAYER CHRIS STREET FOR THE MOST CONSECUTIVE FREE THROWS MADE.
HE MISSED THE SHOT ON PURPOSE.
HE DID SO BECAUSE STREET DIED IN A CAR CRASH BACK IN 1993.
HE FELT HE SHOULD NOT BREAK THE RECORD AND FOULED AGAIN SHORT TIME LATER AND MADE BOTH FREE THROWS.
HE IS ALSO A WINNER!
>>> IT RARELY SNOWS IN ROME, BUT THEY GOT TWO INCHES OVERNIGH >> Sandra: IS YOUR FAMILY'S CLUTTER AND MESS CAUSING YOU LOTS OF STRESS?
