DOWN DETROIT. FOR NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. HE WAS ONE OF TWO TEENAGERS SHOT THE NIGHT OF THE
TREE LIGHTING IN DOWNTOWN
DETROIT TONIGHT. HE’S OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL BUT STILL FACING A LONG
ROAD TO RECOVERY. 10 DAYS HAVE

VICTOR WILLIAMS TONIGHT LIVE AT
CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL. THE TEAM
JUST RELEASED A FEW HOURS AGO.
AND YOU WERE THERE, VICTOR. YES
THAT’S RIGHT. THIS WAS QUITE THE
EMOTIONAL REUNION, BUT WE SAW
THAT TEAM WILL OUT OF CHILDREN’S
HOSPITAL RIGHT INTO THE CARE OF
LOVED ONES, MANY OF THEM STILL
ASKING A LOT OF ANSWERS. IT’S A
BLESSING THAT HE’S STILL HERE
WITH US TODAY TO SHOOT COULD
HAVE BEEN VERY WELL TURNED
ANOTHER FOOT COMMUNITY
ACTIVISTS, OLIVER AGAIN IS HAPPY
TO BE WALKING OUT OF THE
HOSPITAL WITH THIS 15 YEAR OLD
NEPHEW, ONE OF THE TEENS SHOT
AFTER DETROIT’S BUSY TREE
LIGHTING CEREMONY. HE GOT SHOT
IN THE NECK, SO HE STILL HAS
FRAGMENTS BETWEEN HIS 4TH AND
5TH VERTEBRAE IN HIS BACK, ONE
BULLET WAS ONLY 3.5 CENTIMETERS
FROM HITTING A MAIN ARTERY. I
DON’T WANT TO SEE IT HAPPEN TO
ANYBODY ELSE. NO ONE WANTS TO
SEE THIS HAPPEN. ANYBODY ELSE
ESPECIALLY DOWNTOWN, WHERE
FAMILIES ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES
, AND APPARENTLY, IT STARTED
WITH AN ALTERCATION THAT LED TO
SHOTS BEING FIRED. FAMILY
MEMBERS WANTED TO BE KNOWN THAT
THE TEENAGE VICTIMS WERE JUST
THAT VICTIMS OF GANG VIOLENCE.
THEY WERE A GANG, BUT NOT MY SON
AND HIS LITTLE FRIENDS. THEY
REALLY GOOD. SCHOOL KIDS, YOU
KNOW, GO TO SCHOOL. THEY PLAY
BASKETBALL. WHAT TEAM IS
SUPPOSED TO DO A GROUP OF MEN
THAT HAD BEEN SEEN WALKING
AROUND DOWNTOWN AND ONE OF THEM
HAD ENDED UP COSTING ONE OF HIS
FRIENDS AND WITH MY NEPHEW THEN
TURNED AROUND AND SEE WHAT WAS
GOING ON WITH THEIR FRIEND.
THAT’S WHEN THE SHOTS RANG OUT.
HIS FATHER WHO DID NOT WANT TO
GO ON CAMERA QUESTIONS WHY
POLICE WEREN’T ABLE TO PREVENT
THE SHOOTING. AND WHY THE
ACCUSED SHOOTER’S STILL HAVE YET
TO BE CAUGHT WONDERING WHERE
WERE ALL THE COPS AT THE WAY? IT
WAS BUSY DOWN THERE THAT DAY,
BUT THESE GUYS WERE ALL OVER THE
INTERNET. UH HUH. SAYING THAT
THEY WERE GOING TO DO THIS JUST
TO PUT FACES UP AND SAY WE HAVE
PEOPLE OF INTEREST. THAT’S NOT
ENOUGH WHEN IT HAPPENED IN
DOWNTOWN DETROIT, OF ALL PLACES
EITHER WAY, GANTZ NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THOUSANDS STRONG IS
ADDING TO CRIME STOPPERS IS
REWARD IN HOPES OF FINDING
JUSTICE. WHATEVER CRIME STOPPERS
IS PUTTING UP. 1000 STRONG.
WE’RE GOING TO MATCH IT JUST
HOPING FOR SOME JUSTICE THAT
THESE GUYS ARE CAUGHT AND TAKEN
OFF THE STREET AND THINGS OF
THAT NATURE. NOW THE OTHER TEAM
THAT WAS SHOT IS EXPECTED TO BE
OKAY. DPD IN THE MEANTIME, IS
SAYING THAT THIS IS AN OPEN
INVESTIGATION THAT THEY ARE
TAKING VERY SERIOUSLY AS FAR AS
ANYONE WHO WAS OUT THERE DURING
THAT TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY. YOU
GUYS ARE AS TO CONTACT CRIME
STOPPERS AND LEAVE AN ANONYMOUS
TIP AT 1 800 SPEAK UP. VICTOR
WILLIAMS, LOCAL 4 SOMEONE DOES
EXACTLY THAT. ALL RIGHT, VICTOR.

TO BE A SELF INFLICTED GUNSHOT
WOUND. STILL SO MANY QUESTIONS
TONIGHT. POLICE IN MURFREESBORO
SAY THEIR INVESTIGATION LED THEM
TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS SOME
SORT OF A DOMESTIC DISPUTE THAT
THE TWO GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT
BEFORE BOTH OF THEM DISAPPEARED
. BUT WE STILL DON’T KNOW HOW
EXACTLY CASA DIED OR WAS KILLED
HERE. THAT’S SOMETHING WE’RE
WORKING AND WAITING TO FIND OUT
ABOUT. I SHOULD ALSO MENTIONED
THERE WAS ANOTHER WOMAN, A THIRD
WOMAN, A PASSENGER IN THAT CAR.
SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL.
POLICE ARE QUESTIONING HER AND
HOPES OF TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF
ALL OF THIS, BUT HOW DO YOU
REALLY WHEN THERE IS A LITTLE
GIRL WHO WILL NEVER SEE HER
MOTHER AGAIN REPORTING LIVE IN
DETROIT AND PAMELA OSBORNE LOCAL
4 SUCH A HORRIFIC STORY, PAMELA,
WE APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. TWO
FORMER MEMBERS OF THE OXFORD
SCHOOL BOARD, CLAIMING TODAY
OFFICIALS AT OXFORD HIGH
ACTUALLY IGNORED A POLICY AIMED
AT PREVENTING THE MASS SHOOTING
THAT KILLED FOUR STUDENTS. ONE
YEAR AGO. FORMER BOARD PRESIDENT
TOM DONNELLY. AND FORMER
TREASURER CORY BAILEY. SE THE
DISTRICT FAILED TO FOLLOW A
THREAT ASSESSMENT POLICY THAT IT
ADOPTED WAY BACK IN 2004. THEY
CLAIM THAT POLICY WOULD HAVE
CALLED FOR THE CONFESSED SHOOTER
IN THE CASE, ETHAN CRUMBLEY TO
BE SENT HOME RATHER THAN BEING
SENT BACK TO CLASS OVER THE
DISTURBING WRITINGS AND DRAWINGS
THAT HE DID JUST HOURS BEFORE
THE SHOOTING, DOLLY AND BAILEY
SAID THEY FELT PRESSURED TO STAY
SILENT ABOUT THE ISSUE. THAT’S
WHY THEY ULTIMATELY RESIGNED.
HERE’S SOME OF TODAY’S NEWS
CONFERENCE AND REACTION FROM THE
FAMILIES OF TWO STUDENTS WHO
WERE KILLED LAST NOVEMBER. 30TH
TOM AND I WOULD LATER LEARN THAT
THE SCHOOL HAD NOT PUT THIS
PLAYBOOK TO PRACTICE AT ANY OF
OUR BUILDINGS. WE HAD BEEN
INFORMED THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE
FOR SAFETY HAVE RAISED CONCERNS
OVER THE LACK OF TRAINING FOR
QUITE SOME TIME. BUT THOSE
CONCERNS WERE IGNORED WITHOUT
FULL TRANSPARENCY. HOW CAN WE
PREVENT ANYTHING? IT’S BEYOND
AGONIZING FOR US TO HAVE TO
WAIT. FULL YEAR TO HAVE THE
DETAILS OF WHAT LED UP TO THIS.
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR CHILDREN? I
THINK THIS IS HOPEFULLY GOING TO
KIND OF BREAK THE DAM DOWN A
LITTLE BIT AND GET SOME WATER
FLOWING. BECAUSE NOTHING’S
REALLY BEEN FLOWING. IN A
STATEMENT RELEASED TONIGHT, THE
OXFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS
QUOTE MR DONNELLY IS CORRECT AND
ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE DISTRICT
HAD APPROPRIATE SAFETY POLICIES
IN PLACE SINCE 2004. HE ALSO
CONFIRMED THAT MULTIPLE STAFF
MEMBERS RECEIVED THREAT
ASSESSMENT TRAINING BEFORE THE
NOVEMBER 30TH TRAGEDY. MANY OF
THE BOARD MEMBERS ALLEGATIONS
SHOW A MISUNDERSTANDING OF THE
FACTS. THE DETAILS REGARDING THE
TRAINING AND USE OF THREAT
ASSESSMENT PROCEDURES IN ADVANCE
OF THE NOVEMBER 30TH TRAGEDY
WILL BE DISCUSSED AT LENGTH BY
MEMBERS OF THE STAFF WHO
IMPLEMENTED THE POLICIES. PRIOR
TO NOVEMBER, 30TH. 2021 INTO THE
STATEMENT, IT CONCLUDES BY
SAYING THE DISTRICT WILL FULLY
DISCLOSE ALL RELEVANT
INFORMATION IN UPCOMING LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS. MEANTIME THERE ARE
PLANS TO BUILD A MEMORIAL IN
HONOR OF HANNAH SAINT JULIANA
AND HER FELLOW CLASSMATES WHO
WERE KILLED IN THE SHOOTING PLAN
. HANNAH’S FAMILY ANNOUNCED THAT
PLAN TO BREAK GROUND ON HANNAH’S
GARDEN NEXT SPRING, WILL BE
LOCATED AT THE SEYMOUR LAKE
TOWNSHIP PARK IN OXFORD. THE
GARDEN WILL BE DIVIDED INTO FOUR
SECTIONS, ONE FOR EACH OF THE
TEAMS. THE PLAN CALLS FOR A
CENTRAL PLAZA WITH FOUR
PAVILIONS, WATER FEATURE
BOARDWALK AND FORESIGHTED
SCULPTURE HONORING EACH TEAM WHO
LOST THEIR LIFE THAT DAY. JUST
HOURS THE SCHOOL SHOOTER WILL BE
BACK IN COURT FOR A MONTHLY
HEARING TO DECIDE WHETHER HE
SHOULD BE KEPT AT OAKLAND COUNTY
JAIL OR MOVED TO A JUVENILE
FACILITY. ETHAN CRUMBLY, HAS A
HEARING. BY LAW EACH MONTH
BECAUSE OF HIS AGE. LAST MONTH,
A 16 YEAR OLD, OF COURSE,
PLEADED GUILTY TO ALL 24 CHARGES
AGAINST HIM, INCLUDING MURDER
AND TERRORISM. DETROIT POLICE
ARE LOOKING FOR A MAN WANTED FOR
SHOOTING AND KILLING ANOTHER
MAN. FOLLOWING AN ARGUMENT OVER
OF ALL THINGS AND ELEVATOR IN
GREEKTOWN HAPPENED SUNDAY AROUND
TWO IN THE MORNING ON THE EIGHTH
FLOOR OF THE 400 MONROE
