POLICE INVESTIGATING A NUMBER OF
FREEWAY SHOOTINGS AND HOPING A
NEW PIECE OF TECHNOLOGY WILL
HELP GET IT TO STOP REALLY GOOD
TO HAVE YOU WITH US ON THIS
MONDAY FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE
I’M DEVIN SCILLIAN KIMBERLY
GILL. STATE POLICE ARE
INVESTIGATING THREE SEPARATE
SHOOTINGS ON LOCAL FREEWAYS AND
JUST THE PAST FEW DAYS FIRST
HAPPENED SATURDAY ON THE
DAVIDSON RIGHT NEAR THE I 75
INTERSECTION. THEN LATE LAST
NIGHT, SHOTS FIRED ON I 96 NEAR
MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD ON
THE WEST SIDE. THEN EARLY THIS
MORNING, A SHOOTING ON I 3 75
RIGHT AROUND DOWNTOWN SHAWN LEY
IS LIVE AT THAT LAST LOCATION
WITH WHAT POLICE ARE SAYING, AND
WHAT’S BEING DONE TO STOP IT,
SEAN? GOOD EVENING, KIMBERLY AND
DEVIN WHERE THE SHOOTING TOOK
PLACE. RIGHT ABOVE 3 75 HERE.
THIS IS AN AREA YOU NEED TO KNOW
THAT THEY’RE COVERED BY LICENSE
PLATE READERS FROM NSP, SO EVERY
PLATE GOING THROUGH ON EVERY
VEHICLE IS BEING RIGHT, WHICH
MEANS INVESTIGATORS ALREADY HAD
THE PLATE OF THE CAR INVOLVED IN
THIS SHOOTING. TAKE A LOOK.
THREE FREEWAY SHOOTINGS IN
DETROIT IN TWO DAYS SATURDAY
FIGHT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD MOVES TO
THE DAVISON NEAR 75, WHERE
SOMEONE OPENED FIRE ON THE
VEHICLE OVERNIGHT ON 96 YEAR.
MLK A SEMI DRIVER FROM GEORGIA,
UNDER ARREST TONIGHT, BELIEVED
TO HAVE BEEN DRIVING HIS RIG
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OPENS FIRE
ON A DRIVER AFTER THE TWO WERE
INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THEN ON
3 75 NEAR DOWNTOWN ACARS SPRAYED
WITH BULLETS AFTER AN INCIDENT
AT THE ANNEX NIGHTCLUB DOWNTOWN
CARRIES OVER ONTO THE FREEWAY A
NIGHT OUT FOR A 27 YEAR OLD
WOMAN RIDING IN THE BACKSEAT OF
A CAR ENDS WITH HER BEING SHOT
TO DEATH. A 30 YEAR OLD MAN
SITTING NEXT TO HER IN THE BACK
SEAT, ALSO SHOT AND IS IN
CRITICAL CONDITION. WE KNOW IT’S
NOT RANDOM, JUST BY THE WAY THAT
THE GUNSHOTS WERE INTO THE CAR
MSP INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING AT
SECURITY CAMERAS IN THE AREA,
BUT THOSE INVESTIGATORS MAY ALSO
GET A LICENSE PLATE NUMBER OF
THE CAR INVOLVED IN THE DEADLY
SHOOTING DRONE FOUR UP OVER THE
AREA OF THE 3 75 SHOOTING
BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT
SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW WHEN
YOU TRAVEL THROUGH AREAS LIKE
THIS OR OTHER PARTS OF THE
STATE. MSP HAS PUT UP LICENSE
PLATE READERS. YOUR PLATE IS
BEING READ NOW IN CASES LIKE
VIOLENCE ON THE FREEWAY THAT
WILL HELP MSP TRACKED DOWN THE
VEHICLE USED IN A FREEWAY
SHOOTING. WE DON’T NEED TO MAKE
A MODEL FROM A WITNESS ANYMORE
OR SOMEBODY SAYS I SAW THIS CAR
. WE’RE ABLE TO USE THAT
TECHNOLOGY TO ACTUALLY PUT CARS
IN THOSE PLACES. BACK HERE LIVE
NOW LICENSE PLATE READERS NOT
USED IN THE DAVIS AND SHOOTING.
WE WERE UP THERE IN PLENTY OF
MSP. THEY’RE INVESTIGATING AN
ARREST WAS MADE IN THE SITUATION
WITH THE TRUCKER. TODAY THEY
WERE ABLE TO ARREST HIM AS WELL.
NO ARRESTS HERE YET, BUT DEVIN
AND KIMBERLY AS YOU KNOW, THE
LICENSE PLATE LEADERS GIVING MSP
CERTAINLY A HEAD START ON
FINDING THE PEOPLE INVOLVED BACK
TO YOU DEFINITELY ARE. WHAT
ABOUT HIM? UNTIL YOU JUST
MENTIONED THEM? SHAWN LEY ON
EVERY FREEWAY IN THE AREA. NOT
YET HERE. 96 SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY.
THEY’VE ALREADY HELPED IN THAT
AREA AS WELL. BUT OTHER AREAS IN
THE STATE AND LIEUTENANT SHAW
FROM MSP SAYS THE GOAL HERE IS
TO GET THEM ALL OVER THE STATE.
OKAY. THANK YOU. OUR OTHER TOP
STORY HERE AT FIVE O’CLOCK GUN
RIGHTS ADVOCATES ARE BLASTING
CALLS FOR SO CALLED GUN FREE
ZONE IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT WAS
FLOATED FOLLOWING THAT WEEKEND
OF VIOLENCE AND GREEK TOWN ON
THE RIVERFRONT. VICTOR WILLIAMS
LIVE WITH THE LATEST ON THIS FOR
US, VICTOR DEVON AND KIMBERLY.
THESE GROUPS ARE TOTALLY AGAINST
GREEKTOWN BECOMING GUN FREE
ZONES. IN FACT, THEY’RE SAYING
THAT THAT WILL MAKE THE SAFETY
ISSUE EVEN WORSE. THE IDEA OF
MAKING GREEKTOWN INTO A GUN FREE
ZONE. UM IS NOT GONNA HELP MAKE
ANYONE SAFER AND IS A
INFRINGEMENT ON PEOPLE’S BASIC
RIGHTS ACTIVISTS GATHER IN
GREEKTOWN SPEAKING OUT AGAINST
WHAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME A
NO GUN ZONE IN GREEKTOWN
REACTIVE MOVE TO COMBAT RECENT
HIKES AND VIOLENCE. I DON’T
BELIEVE THE CORRECT RESPONSE. TO
THE VIOLENCE THAT WE HAVE HAD IN
OUR CITY IS TO DENY BASIC
LIBERTIES THROUGH THE RESIDENTS
. ADVOCATE SCOTTY BOWMAN SAYS.
THIS COULD BE A STRONG
POSSIBILITY AND JUST DAYS
TOMORROW THEY WILL BE VOTING ON
A RESOLUTION. THEY HAVE. THE
STATE OF MICHIGAN CHANGED THE
LAW SO THAT THEY CAN MAKE GUN
FREE ZONES WITHIN THE CITY. I
THINK IT’S BEST TO HAVE
RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERS WHO CAN
ACTUALLY RESPOND AND HELP
PROTECT AND HELP STOP, UM,
ACTIVE SHOOTERS WHEN THEY START
TO, UM, DO HARM TO OTHERS.
ANOTHER SPEAKER INCLUDED
FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR AND ADVOCATE
RICK ACTOR WHO SAYS THERE’S ALSO
CONCERNS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS
BEING DISPROPORTIONATELY
TARGETED BY THESE LAWS. GUN LAWS
TEND TO BE MOST STRINGENT AND
COMMUNITIES OF COLOR IN THE CITY
OF DETROIT. WE HAVE A LONG
HISTORY OF HAVING TO UNDO GUN
LAWS ACROSS THE STATE POLICE
COMMISSIONER WILLIE BURTON SAYS
HE SEES BOTH SIDES BEING A
SUPPORTER OF RED FLAG LAWS, YET
HOPING NOT TO INFRINGE ON
ANYONE’S RIGHTS. DON’T WANT TO
SEE SOMEONE’S CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS BEING VIOLATED. UM, WHICH
STREETS THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO
WALK UP OR WALK DOWN OR
SHOULDN’T WALK UP OR WALK DOWN.
I THINK DETROIT IS FOR EVERYONE.
NO NO CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WERE
ABLE TO COMMENT ON THIS MATTER
TODAY, BUT IT’S GOING TO BE
INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THEY VOTE
TOMORROW. VICTOR WILLIAMS, LOCAL
BOY, IT SURE WILL. AND WE WILL
FOLLOW THAT THEN. ALRIGHT
VICTOR, A MAN WAS INJURED AFTER
SHE SHOT HIMSELF DURING AN ARMED
CONFRONTATION WITH POLICE NEAR
SCHOOL. TWO MEN WERE SPOTTED
WITH A SKI MASK AND GUN THIS
MORNING NEAR ROSS ANNVILLE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THAT’S IN
YPSILANTI TOWNSHIP. WHEN POLICE
APPROACHED THE MEN THEY TOOK OFF
RUNNING. THE MAN CARRYING THE
GUN SHOT HIMSELF IN THE STOMACH
AND THE LEG. THE INJURED MAN WAS
TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE OTHER
IS BEING HELD AT THE WASHINGTON
COUNTY JAIL. GENERAL MOTORS SAYS
IT HAS CUT SEVERAL 100
CONTRACTOR JOBS. THE CUTS ARE
HAPPENING AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS,
INCLUDING THE WAR IN TECH
CENTER. GM IS TRYING TO SAVE $2
BILLION BY THE END OF NEXT YEAR.
THE AUTOMAKER OFFERED VOLUNTARY
BUYOUTS EARLIER THIS YEAR,
SAYING IT WAS ABLE TO SAVE ABOUT
A BILLION DOLLARS FROM THAT.

WEST FROM THERE TO THE KEY. ONE
UP PENINSULA. SNOW FALLING AT
MICHIGAN TECH, ALTHOUGH NOT AS
BAD RIGHT THERE, IF YOU CAN SEE
IT IS STARTING TO FALL, BUT NOT
AS MUCH COVERING THE GROUND. BUT
YOU KNOW, FOLKS IN THE U. P ARE
TOUGHER THAN A $2 STEAK. AS FOR
US DOWN HERE, WE’RE STILL
WAITING FOR THINGS TO GET A
LITTLE BIT BETTER HERE WITH MAY
COME ON. WE CAN’T CATCH A BREAK.
KIM DIDN’T ACTUALLY ANSWER THE
QUESTION. BECAUSE WE’RE NOT HBO

HEAVILY IN THE U. P INCLUDING
MARQUETTE. MARQUETTE’S THE
HEAVIEST AS YOU SAW BY THOSE
LIVE PICTURES, THEY COULD PICK
UP. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS
INLAND NOW BY THE SHORE, NOT AS

SNOW, BUT IT SNOWS ALL THE WAY
DOWN INTO TRAVERSE CITY. SOME
RAIN MIXED WITH SNOW IN ALPINE A

HOW MANY DOGS IN POPULATION HERE

POPULATION. SO MANY DOGS SHOT
DEAD IN THE STREET BY POLICE.
