live from downtown Detroit local board
News at Noon it starts now
warmest day of the week a little muggy
but we have some improvements and some
changes to discuss Larry a 14-year old
is dead this morning after he was shot
to death inside this home I'll tell you
what police say happened and who was
responsible Plus developing this
afternoon for more members of that youth
soccer team were pulled from a flooded
cave in a second round of rescue
operations in Thailand that story
topping our news at noon thank you for
joining us I'm ever odd Casa me here is
a timeline of the whole situation all
right so as you can see here on June
23rd the 12 boys and their coach were
reported missing
well the next day officials found
evidence that the team had entered the
cave on June 28th rescue attempts were
stopped due to flooding and then on July
2nd the boys and their coach are found
alive food and medical supplies reached
the boys the next day and as of
yesterday four of those boys were
rescued today for more voice were
rescued while four others are and the
coach are still inside of that cave
here's NBC's bill Neely reporting from
Thailand
nightfall here and the operation is over
for today than it has been another day
of success for more boys free that's
eight in all and free by the same team
that did it yesterday the same
extraordinary British led divers who
have this amazing technique where they
actually carry or have a boy underneath
them with another diver behind and all
along the route those boys are supported
by oxygen by blankets anything they need
and the boys themselves are wearing face
masks for two and a half hours remember
these are boys that have never worn face
masks before most of them can't swim a
stroke they can float basic techniques
but this is extraordinary and murky
submerged water so a great success those
boys are now being treated at the
hospital we expect that it will restart
with the same team of 90 divers at
around the same time tomorrow morning
remember five individuals done there
four boys and their coach still to be
rescued a really extraordinary
successful operation already back to you
guys
turning our attention to the forecast
now after a weekend of relief from the
summer heat and humidity man the summer
sizzle is back Brandon as we take a live
look from our Detroit Skycam what a
perfect weekend how hard things are
expected to get though now today
probably getting back into the 90s which
we didn't see it barely saw 80 degrees
Friday Saturday 86 yesterday but we're
almost there now 85 at Metro our
official recording and reporting station
low middle 80s all across southeastern
lower and we look at the winds bringing
in this warm and slightly more muggy air
out of the Southwest anywhere between
five and 15 miles an hour gusting a
little stronger so the humidity is up a
little bit but not having a huge impact
on the heat index so that's some good
news through the afternoon and evening
the humidity does creep up so 85 now on
our way to 91 this afternoon tons of Sun
with just a few wispy high clouds from
this cool front and these showers up
north so we'll be tracking the changes
that bring an end to this short-lived
heat wave coming up all righty Brennan
thank you this afternoon police are
investigating a shooting in Pontiac it
happened right here on the 100 block of
Willard Street near a burn Avenue and
paddock streets layer squirrel joins us
now live from the scene and Larry this
shooting happen around 2:00 4:00 in the
morning what are we learning now well
everyone we know that that shooting
happened inside that house right behind
me now police and neighbors say a 14
year old was shot inside that home now
things have been very emotional and
intense as you can imagine so we were
keeping our distance from both the
family and the home this afternoon but
take a look at the video we shot earlier
this morning from the scene the Oakland
County Sheriff's Office says the
shooting happened around 2:30 in the
morning deputies say the victim died now
the sheriff's office say someone inside
the home had a gun under his mattress
he asked the victim to move from the bed
to another location in the home he told
detectives that's when
the gun went off accidentally hitting
the fourteen-year-old in the chest now I
spoke to several neighbors off-camera
they tell me the teenager was a student
at Pontiac middle school they also told
us the name of that victim but we are
not releasing that name at this time
because police have not released an
information as well now I just spoke to
a neighbor who knew the victim she lived
next door I'm working on that part of
the story all new tonight at 5:00
we're live in Pontiac this afternoon
Larry spruill local four so today kicks
off a big week for president Trump
starting with the announcement of his
Supreme Court pick in the evening the
president is set to tell the nation who
will take the place of retiring Supreme
Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and on
Tuesday Trump heads to Brussels for the
NATO conference there before traveling
to the UK on Thursday next Monday he's
expected to meet with Russian President
Vladimir Putin and all day except for
the president told reporters last night
that he still hadn't made a final
decision I'm very close to making a
decision have not made it official yet
obviously have not made it final
president Trump teasing tonight's
primetime Supreme Court announcement
after some last-minute behind-the-scenes
jockeying at his New Jersey Golf Club
let's say it's the four people but
they're excellent everyone you can't go
wrong
Republicans praising the fort leading
candidates who sources say include
federal appeals court judge Brett
Kavanaugh Amy Kony Barrett Raymond
Catholic and Thomas Hardiman the
runner-up to president Trump's first
pick to the High Court Republicans are
holding four lottery tickets and all of
them are winners Catholic or Hardiman
who he feels will have the best odds of
getting confirmed quickly in those
crucial midterm year I think the
president has to think about who is the
easiest to get confirmed here Democrats
bowing to stonewall any nominee who
would seek to overturn rulings
protecting minority rights I've never
seen a president United States in effect
make himself a puppet of outside groups
and choose from a group of right-wing
fringe ideologues but blocking the
opponent will be near impossible for
Democrats the Senate only needs 50 votes
to confirm a Supreme Court nominee
meaning that if all but one Republican
vote along party lines they will not
need any Democratic support three
Democrats voted in favor of President
Trump's first nominee justice Neel
Gorsuch and newly elected red state
Democrats Senator Doug Jones signaled he
plans to vote independent of a party I
don't think my role is a rubber stamp
for the president but it's also not an
automatic knee jerk know either this as
the Trump administration struggles to
reunite the youngest children separated
from their parents at the border before
Tuesday's deadline the administration
