LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE STARTS NOW. AND WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN HERE AT
FIVE WITH THE WEATHER AND THE
THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS ALL
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN.
TONIGHT. WE HAVE SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS IN EFFECT
AS WE SPEAK, AND WE’RE ALREADY
GETTING SOME DAMAGE REPORTS.
LET’S GET OVER TO BRETT. HE’S
RIGHT OFF THE TOP HERE WITH
WHERE THINGS STAND RIGHT NOW,
BRETT, THESE STORMS ARE CAUSING
SOME DAMAGE. THEY’VE HAD A
HISTORY OF HAIL OF STRONG WINDS
, AND NOW WE’VE GOTTEN OUR FIRST
STORM DAMAGE REPORT IN OUR AREA
TREES DOWN AT GROVER GROVELAND
AND M 15 LIKELY AFFECTING TO SEE
A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THAT, AS WE
HEAD THROUGHOUT THE NEXT COUPLE
OF HOURS. STORM TRACKER FOR
LOOKING VERY BUSY. A NUMBER OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS ALL
OF OAKLAND AND MUCH OF
LIVINGSTON COUNTY UNTIL 5:15
P.M. A GOOD CHANCE THAT THAT
MORNING GETS EXTENDED SOUTHEAST
ALSO GOT ST CLAIR COUNTY UNTIL 5
45 PM BUT THAT WILL ALSO LIKELY
BE EXTENDED. STRONG DAMAGING
WINDS IS THE BIGGEST CONCERN
WITHIN THESE STORMS. AS YOU TAKE
A LOOK AT THE RADAR, YOU CAN SEE
THE DEEPER, DARKER GREENS AND
THE REDS. INDICATIVE OF THE VERY
STRONG WINDS THAT ARE MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA. WE’VE GOT WINS
ESTIMATED ON RADAR UPWARDS OF 60
OR 65 MPH, SO WE’LL HAVE TO
WATCH THIS CLOSELY AS WE HEAD
THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW HOURS.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH
CONTINUES UNTIL NINE P.M. ON TOP
OF THAT AHEAD OF THESE STORMS.
IT’S HOT AND MUGGY. HEAT
ADVISORY UNTIL EIGHT PM WILL
TRACK THESE STORMS AND TALK
ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE RAIN FOR
YOUR THURSDAY COMING UP IN JUST
A BIT. BREAKING RIGHT NOW A
JUDGE HAS RULED TO KEEP A
RESTRAINING ORDER IN PLACE THAT
PREVENTS MICHIGAN COUNTY
PROSECUTORS FROM FILING CHARGES
UNDER MICHIGAN’S 1931 BAN ON
ABORTIONS. THAT RULING CAME FROM
AN OAKLAND COUNTY CIRCUIT JUDGE
WITH IN THE PAST HOUR HERE, MARK
MCDONALD IS I’VE IN PONTIAC MAR
MAR. A BOTTOM LINE HERE. WOMEN
IN MICHIGAN LEGALLY HAVE ACCESS
TO ABORTION SERVICES. KIMBERLY
THAT’S RIGHT. BUT I THINK WE
NEED TO MAKE THIS CLEAR FOR
EVERYBODY AT HOME. THE LEGAL
MECCA NATIONS THAT WE SEE
PLAYING OUT RIGHT NOW IT’S
REALLY DEALING WITH THE HERE AND
NOW UP UNTIL NOVEMBER, WHEN
VOTERS IN THIS STATE ARE GOING
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THEIR SAY
ONCE AND FOR ALL ON WHAT
ABORTION IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE
HERE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE
RULINGS THIS WEEK ON WHETHER
ABORTION IS LEGAL IN MICHIGAN
FIRST, THE MICHIGAN COURT OF
APPEALS ON MONDAY SAID COUNTY
PROSECUTORS COULD PROSECUTE
ABORTION PROVIDERS UNDER A 1931
LAW, WHICH CRIMINALIZES ABORTION
IN MICHIGAN. GOVERNOR WHITMER
THEN WENT TO OAKLAND COUNTY
CIRCUIT COURT, ASKING FOR A
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
AGAINST COUNTY PROSECUTORS FROM
PROSECUTING ABORTION PROVIDERS.
AND GOT IT TODAY IT WAS AN
ARGUMENT OVER WHETHER THAT
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER OR T
R O SHOULD REMAIN IN PLACE. THIS
COURT SHOULD MAINTAIN THE
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER IN
THIS CASE. BECAUSE IT PREVENTS
THE KIND OF CHAOS AND CONFUSION
THAT IS RESULTING FROM THE SORT
OF FLIP FLOPS THAT WE’VE SEEN IN
THE QUESTION OF WHETHER ABORTION
IS A PROTECTED RIGHT IN MICHIGAN
. THE ARGUMENT TO GET RID OF
THAT TR OH, THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF REASONS, YOUR HONOR, WHY THIS
T R O MUST BE DISSOLVED. IT MUST
BE DISSOLVED IMMEDIATELY. AND
ITS ISSUES BASED ON THE RULE OF
LAW STARTED DECISIVE. THE LAWS
THAT STANDS IN MICHIGAN RIGHT
NOW. AND THAT THIS COURT IS
BOUND. BY HIGHER COURT RULINGS
AND PRECEDENT THAT IS IN PLACE
RIGHT NOW AND ARGUED THE SORROW
INTERFERES WITH COUNTY
PROSECUTORS ABILITY TO DO THEIR
JOBS AND THAT WHITMER HAS NO
LEGAL CLAIM. THE JUDGE DIDN’T
BUY THE ARGUMENT. THE COURT IS
CONTINUING THE RESTRAINING ORDER
THROUGH A HEARING ON A
PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION. BACK
HERE. LIVE COUNTY PROSECUTORS
THAT CAME TO SUPPORT KEEPING
THAT TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
IN PLACE. OAKLAND WAYNE AND
WASHINGTON OFF THE PROSECUTOR
WHO DID NOT MCCOMB WE’RE LIVE IN
PONTIAC TONIGHT AT THE OAKLAND
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD, LOCAL 4 BACK AND
FORTH HERE, UM ARE WE APPRECIATE
IT SO MUCH? MEANWHILE, OUR OTHER
TOP STORY TONIGHT AND ATTORNEY
SAYS AN ARMED OXFORD SECURITY
GUARD DID NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP
THE SCHOOL SHOOTING AND THOUGHT
IT WAS A DRILL. THAT SECURITY
GUARD HAS NOW BEEN ADDED AS A
DEFENDANT IN THE CIVIL LAWSUIT
IN THIS, LET’S GET TO MEGAN
WOODS AND MEGAN. THEY THINK THE
SECURITY GUARD COULD HAVE
STOPPED THE SHOOTER. THAT’S WHAT
THIS ATTORNEY IS SAYING. JASON
KIMBERLY AFTER WATCHING VIDEO OF
THE SHOOTING AND HOW THE
SECURITY PERSON RESPONDED.
PARENTS OF THOSE CHILDREN THAT
WERE KILLED AS WELL AS THE
CHILDREN THAT ARE TRAUMATIZED.
WATCH THE VIDEO AS WELL. AND
THEY SAY THIS IS ANOTHER
DEVASTATING BLOW. IT’S UM
SIGNIFICANT TO KNOW THAT. HE
COULD STILL BE HERE. IF SOMEBODY
THAT THEIR JOB THAT’S JUSTIN.
SCHILLINGS FATHER, CRAIG
SCHILLING. HE’S SEEN THE VIDEO
THAT PROMPTED HIS ATTORNEY, THEN
JOHNSON TO FILE A MOTION TO ADD
ANOTHER DEFENDANT IN THEIR
LAWSUIT. SHE WAS ARMED. SHE HAD
A GUN. SHE HAD A BODY CAMERA.
JUST WHAT YOU’D EXPECT FROM A
SECURITY PERSON. AND I KNOW THAT
NONE OF YOU HAVE HEARD ANYTHING
ABOUT HER. THERE’S BEEN A LACK
OF TRANSPARENCY. UP UNTIL NOW.
THE ATTORNEY SAYS THAT SECURITY
GUARD TOLD INVESTIGATORS WHEN
SHOTS WENT OFF. SHE WAS CONFUSED
AND THOUGHT IT WAS A DRILL, AND
THAT VIDEO SHOWS HER WALKING
DOWN THE HALLWAY PASSING ALREADY
SHOT. TATE MERE LOOKED AT TATE
SHE THOUGHT, BOY, THIS ALICE
DRILL. THERE’S REALLY USING GOOD
MAKEUP, BUT THE CHILLING DETAILS
REVEALED. DON’T END THERE. SHE
WENT TO THE BATHROOM DOOR. SHE
PULLED THE DOOR OPEN. AND THEN
ALL YOU SEE IS HER SHUTTING THE
DOOR WHEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR. YOU
CAN TELL BY THE VIDEO. THAT
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A SHOT. I
COULDN’T HEAR IT. THERE’S NO
SOUND ON THESE. BUT ULTIMATELY
WE SEE KEEGAN RUNNING OUT. IT’S
SHATTERED KEEGAN’S MOTHER,
MEGHAN GREGORY, IT WAS ABSOLUT
PUNCH TO THE GUT. SHE SAYS THEY
HAVEN’T BEEN THE SAME SINCE
SEEING THAT VIDEO AND WE’RE
STILL LEARNING MORE ABOUT THAT
SECURITY PERSON ATTORNEY SAYS
THE JUDGE STILL HAS TO APPROVE
THIS AND MAKE A DECISION AND
THEY’RE HOPING FOR NEXT WEEK.
OXFORD COMMUNITY SCHOOLS DID
RELEASE A STATEMENT AND WE’LL
HAVE THAT ON CLICKONDETROIT.COM
BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT JUST
ANOTHER DEVASTATING BLOW AS YOU
SAY, MEGAN. THANK YOU. DETROIT
POLICE CHIEF JAMES WHITE SAYS
HIS OFFICERS MAY HAVE SAVED THE
LIFE OF A SUSPECT THEY SHOT LAST
NIGHT AFTER THE SUSPECT PULLED A
GUN ON THEM. THIS HAPPENED ON
THE SOUTHWEST IN SOUTHWEST
DETROIT. WHEN OFFICERS
APPROACHED A PERSON THEY KNEW TO
BE A GANG MEMBER, AND THEY SAY
THEY SAW A GUN AFTER A FOOT
CHASE THE SUSPECT HOP DEFENSE
AND REACHED FOR THE GUN. CHIEF
WHITE SAYS AN OFFICER SHOT THE
SUSPECT THREE TIMES, THEN
IMMEDIATELY TRIED TO HELP HIM.
WHAT’S YOUR THREAT WAS STOPPED.
HE ADMINISTERED FIRST AID, WHICH
IS PART OF HIS TRAINING AND
OTHER OFFICERS ON THAT SCENE
ADMINISTERED FIRST DATE. WHICH I
BELIEVE THE QUICKNESS OF THE
FIRST EIGHT, AIDED AND SAVING
THE SUSPECT’S LIFE. HE WAS
CONVEYED TO AN AREA HOSPITAL
WHERE HE IS NOW IN CRITICAL
CONDITION. BUT MY UPDATE THIS
MORNING IS THAT HE’S LIKELY TO
SURVIVE, WHICH IS A GREAT GREAT
THING. AND THE CHIEF SAYS THE
SUSPECT WILL BE FACING CHARGES
AFTER HE RECOVERS. BUT THOSE
CHARGES STILL YET TO BE
DETERMINED. TONIGHT WE’RE
GETTING OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE
MAN ACCUSED OF SHOOTING EIGHT
PEOPLE DURING A BIRTHDAY PARTY
ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE, WINSTON
CURTLY JR FACES 20 CHARGES,
INCLUDING MURDER. MALONEY IS
FOLLOWING THIS STORY FOR US
TONIGHT. PROSECUTORS SAY HIS
HOUSE WAS FULL OF GUNS. ABOUT A
DOZEN OF THEM KIMBERLY, AND IN
FACT, IT’S THE DETROIT SHOOTING
. THAT IS REALLY RAISED A LOT OF
EYEBROWS HERE AT THE DPD. THE
CHIEF HAD A PRESS CONFERENCE ON
MONDAY TO CRYING THE SHOOTING
AND SIMILAR VIOLENCE. AND TODAY
THE MEN ARRESTED IN THIS CASE
DIDN’T FACT MAKE IT TO COURT.
YOU SAY YOUR NAME AGAIN, PLEASE.
CURRENTLY JUNIOR WINSTON, CURTLY
JUNIOR IS 36 YEARS OLD. HE
APPEARED IN 36TH DISTRICT COURT
THIS MORNING DETROIT POLICE
SAYING THEY TOOK HIM INTO
CUSTODY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING ON COLE STREET ON
DETROIT’S WEST SIDE AFTER A WELL
ATTENDED BIRTHDAY PARTY FILLED
THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH PARKED
CARS. IT’S SO ANGERED CURRENTLY
HE STARTED AN ARGUMENT A VERBAL
ARGUMENT, AND THEN HE ALLEGEDLY
STARTED SHOOTING A RIFLE AT A
CROWD, LEAVING BODIES EVERYWHERE
. A NEIGHBOR WANTING TO STAY
ANONYMOUS, TELLING LOCAL
FOREIGNERS. WHO’S HE? JUST
RANDOM CAME OUT AND JUST STARTED
SHOOTING ACROSS THE STREET.
SOUNDS LIKE WE WAS IN WORLD WAR
THREE. THAT’S HOW LOUD GUNSHOTS
WOULD PEOPLE DIED. A WOMAN 39
YEAR OLD TO WAKA THROUGH KILLED
OF DETROIT. AND THIS MAN 38 YEAR
OLD ANDRE WILLIS OF DETROIT DIED
OF THEIR WOUNDS. SIX OTHERS
ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL. ONE
CRITICAL DETROIT POLICE SAYING
THIS WHOLE THING PRECIPITATED
BECAUSE CARS WERE BLOCKING THE
DRIVEWAY HERE BUT MAKING THIS
INFINITELY MORE DANGEROUS,
POLICE SAY IS THAT CURRENTLY HAD
ANOTHER 10 WEAPONS. BESIDES THE
ONE IN HIS HANDS, THEY WERE
POSITIONED BY ALL OF THE WINDOWS
IN THE HOUSE TODAY, THE WAYNE
COUNTY PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE
CHARGED CURRENTLY WITH TWO
COUNTS OF FIRST DEGREE MURDER,
SIX COUNTS OF ASSAULT WITH
INTENT TO MURDER. TWO OF
DISCHARGING A WEAPON AT A
BUILDING AND 10 COUNTS OF FELONY
FIREARM. THE JUDGE ENTERED A NOT
GUILTY PLEA FOR CURTLY.
PROSECUTOR KIM WORTHY MAKING IT
A POINT TO SAY THAT THE SHOOTING
WENT WAY BEYOND THE PALE. IN
FACT, SHE SAID IN A STATEMENT.
IT’S CLEAR THAT IT’S BEEN FOR
SOME TIME THAT ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING IS SACRED WHEN IT COMES
TO GUN VIOLENCE THESE DAYS, AND
IT IS ALSO APPARENT THAT THERE
WAS LITTLE POLITICAL WILL TO
CONTROL THE MECHANISMS BEHIND IT
BACK TO YOU WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
FOR CURRENTLY IN COURT? OKAY? HE
HAS A PROBABLE CAUSE HEARING ON
THE 18TH OF AUGUST, AND THEN HE
COMES BACK FOR HIS PRELIM ON THE
25TH. THAT’S WHERE WE WILL
LIKELY HEAR MORE EVIDENCE THAT
WE HAVEN’T HEARD SO FAR IN THE
CASE, AND WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
IT RIGHT. WE APPRECIATE IT. GOP
SIT DOWN AND LANSING TODAY AS
MEMBERS GET READY FOR THE
GENERAL ELECTION. THE REPUBLICAN
UNITY LUNCHEON FEATURED MATT
COOPER, NO CANDIDATE FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL, AND CHRISTINA
KARAMO, WHO’S RUNNING FOR
SECRETARY OF STATE TUTOR. DIXON
ALSO THERE AND SHE SPOKE ABOUT
HER HISTORIC NOMINATION IN THE
WINNERS RACE AND WE MADE HISTORY
IN THIS STATE LAST NIGHT. I’M
NOT SURE IF EVERYBODY TOTALLY
REALIZES WHAT WE DID, BUT WE
NOMINATED THE FIRST FEMALE GOP
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN THE
STATE. AND OF COURSE, THAT MEANS
IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME EVER
THAT TWO WOMEN COMPETE AGAINST
