LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. AND WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE
BABY BOY IN ST CLAIR COUNTY,
DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE FORM OF
HEPATITIS. GLAD YOU’RE WITH US
AT SIX. THE 11 MONTH OLD IS ONE
OF THREE MICHIGAN NOW INCLUDED.
IN THE CDCS ACUTE HEPATITIS
INVESTIGATION. WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT THAT MYSTERIOUS LIVER
DISEASE IN CHILDREN, FIRST
IDENTIFIED IN THE UK AND HAS NOW
FOUND IN CHILDREN ALL ACROSS
EUROPE, AND HERE IN THE US ARE
MEGAN WOODS SPOKE TO THAT ST
CLAIR COUNTY FAMILY. MEGAN THAT
11 MONTH OLD WAS IN THE HOSPITAL
FOR MORE THAN A WEEK. HOW SCARY
HE WAS. HIS NAME IS FIN RAUL AND
HE’S BACK TO BEING THE HAPPY,
HEALTHY BABY. HE WAS BEFORE HE
CAME DOWN WITH THIS RARE
HEPATITIS, BUT HIS PARENTS SAY
DURING ALL OF THIS, IT WAS
TERRIFYING BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T
KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH BABY
FINN. AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOT
TO THE POINT WHERE WE COULD NOT
WAKE HIM UP AT ALL, AND HE
STARTED THROWING UP SOMETHING
BROWN, KATHLEEN AND BLAKE, RAUL
SAID. IN JUST HOURS. THERE ARE
11 MONTH OLD FINN WENT FROM
BEING HIS REGULAR BUBBLY, ACTIVE
SELF TO THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE.
THE NIGHTMARE DIDN’T END THERE
TUESDAY. MAY 17TH. THEY TOOK
FINN TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM WHERE
DOCTORS RAN TESTS. THEY CAME
BACK, AND THEY WERE LIKE, SO
YOUR SON HAS POSSIBLE LIVER
FAILURE. HIS KIDNEYS ARE
SHUTTING DOWN AND WE’RE
AIRLIFTING YOU TO CHILDREN’S
HOSPITAL BECAUSE HE HAS INTERNAL
BLEEDING SOMEWHERE. AND HE WAS
THROWING UP THE OLD BLOOD IN WAS
TREATED AND WENT HOME. MAY 25TH
HE IS ONE OF THREE MICHIGAN PART
OF CDCS ACUTE HEPATITIS
INVESTIGATION, DR FRANK MCGEORGE
SAYS THERE’S STILL SO MUCH TO
LEARN ABOUT IT. HEPATITIS SIMPLY
IMPLIES INFLAMMATION OF THE
LIVER. IT CAN BE CAUSED BY A
VARIETY OF DIFFERENT THINGS. SO
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR PARENTS
? IF YOU NOTICE ANY YELLOWING OF
THEIR SKIN, YELLOWING OF THE
WHITES OF THEIR EYES OR
DARKENING OF THEIR URINE, YOU
SHOULD HAVE THEM SEEN BY A
DOCTOR. DON’T IGNORE THAT GUT
INSTINCT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE
ONLY THING THAT GOT ME TO THE
HOSPITAL IN TIME. AND AGAIN,
FINN IS DOING MUCH BETTER NOW.
HE HAD A CHECK UP A WEEK AFTER
HE WAS RELEASED FROM THE
HOSPITAL, AND HE HAS A FEW MORE
CHECK UPS IN THE FUTURE. DE’VEON
KIMBERLY, SO SCARY, MEGHAN. BUT
GLAD THAT BABY FINN IS GOING TO
BE OKAY. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS
HEPATITIS A OR B. IT’S NOT
HEPATITIS A. IT’S NOT HEPATITIS
B OR ANY OTHER COMMON HEPATITIS
. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE. OKAY,
MEGAN, THANKS. BUT IT IS ALWAYS
THE BIGGEST PART OF THE SUMMER,
RIGHT 11 DAYS FROM NOW, THE FORD
FIREWORKS RETURNED DOWNTOWN.
THANK GOODNESS CEFTA, A TWO YEAR
HIATUS. ANOTHER BIG CROWD
EXPECTED TO PACK HART PLAZA
METRO DETROITERS ARE GOING TO
NOTICE SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR.
AND THAT WILL BE METAL
DETECTORS. SHAWN LEY SHOWS US
HOW THESE METAL DETECTORS ARE
DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES YOU’VE
SEEN AT LOCAL SPORTING EVENTS
AND CONCERTS. SEAN WE’RE NOT
ONLY GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW THESE
WORK, WE’RE GOING TO SHOW YOU
HOW QUICKLY THEY WORK. NO MORE
EMPTYING YOUR POCKETS. YOU JUST
WALK THROUGH THIS EVENT COME

HAVE 10 OF THESE MOBILE WEAPON
DETECTORS PAID FOR BY AMERICAN
RESCUE ACT TAX DOLLARS HAVE
ALREADY BEEN SET UP AT THE
MOVEMENT FESTIVAL, THE GRAND
PRIX AND PRIDE EVENTS. THOUSANDS
OF PEOPLE ARE FUNNELED THROUGH
AND THE TECHNOLOGY CAN INSTANTLY
DETECT A WEAPON. THIS PROVIDES
AN ENVIRONMENT OF SAFETY, SO
WHEN PEOPLE GO OUT, CERTAINLY
THEY CAN ENJOY WHAT IT IS. WE
CAN TELL PEOPLE LEAVE YOUR
FIREARMS AT HOME. AND ALSO WE
CAN GET OTHERS TO COME OUT
BECAUSE THEY WILL FEEL SAFE THAT
THEY KNOW THAT THEY’RE DEPLOYED
IN THE COMMUNITY. DPD WILL HAVE
PEOPLE PASSED THROUGH THE
DETECTORS AT THE UPCOMING
FIREWORKS DOWNTOWN. HEY SAYS
EVENTS CAN REQUEST FIREARMS
RESTRICTIONS. CPL HOLDERS WILL
BE ENCOURAGED TO SAFELY SECURE
THEIR WEAPON TO FIND THAT
SOMEONE IS UNLAWFULLY CARRIED.
WE WILL CONSTITUTIONALLY TAKE
THE NEXT STEPS WERE AT BRINGING
KIDS DOWN THE FIREWORKS. THIS IS
GONNA LET PEOPLE YES, IT IS.
THAT IS CERTAINLY WE’RE EXCITED.
BACK TO YOUR LIFE. YOU KNOW, DPD
. THEY CLEARED 30,000 PEOPLE
GOING INTO THE MOVEMENT FESTIVAL
NEAR HART PLAZA, AND THE LINES
MOVED QUICKLY TO PEOPLE CAN GO
THROUGH THESE MACHINES AT ONCE.
YOU DO NOT AGAIN HAVE TO CLEAR
OUT YOUR POCKETS OF YOUR KEYS,
WALLET, SUNGLASSES, THINGS LIKE
THAT GUY’S. THE GOAL HERE,
POLICE SAY, IS TO TAKE AWAY THE
ELEMENT OF GUN VIOLENCE. IF
THERE’S SOME KIND OF DISPUTE,
AND SOMEONE MAY WANT TO SETTLE
THAT DISPUTE WITH A GUN. WE’RE
LIVE TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY LOCAL
FORD BACK TO YOU HATE THAT THESE
THINGS ARE NECESSARY IN THIS DAY
AND AGE BUT SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLER
WAY TO DO IT. ALL RIGHT, SEAN.

JANUARY SIXTH HEARING FOCUSING
ON PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ATTEMPTS TO
PRESSURE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT
MIKE PENCE IN THE REJECTING THE
2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
RESULTS. MIKE PENCE MADE IT
CLEAR THAT HE WOULDN’T GIVE IN
TO DONALD TRUMP’S SCHEME. DONALD
TRUMP TURNED THE MOB ON HIM. THE
COMMITTEE REVEALED NEW DETAILS
THAT PENCE REMAINED IN AN
UNDERGROUND SECURE LOCATION
INSIDE THE CAPITAL FOR MORE THAN
FOUR HOURS THAT DAY. AT TIMES,
PENCE’S LOCATION IN THAT BUNKER
WAS JUST ABOUT 40 FT, AWAY FROM
THE RIOTERS WHO WOULD STORM
THEIR WAY INSIDE THE CAPITOL AND
HAVE BEEN CHANTING THEIR WISHES
TO HANG THE VICE PRESIDENT. THE
COMMITTEE QUESTION KEEP PENCE
ADVISORS. WHO WARNED THE VICE
PRESIDENT THAT HE HAD NO
AUTHORITY TO OVERTURN THE
ELECTION. THE VICE PRESIDENT’S
FIRST INSTINCT HERE IS SO
DECISIVE ON THIS QUESTION.
THERE’S JUST NO WAY THAT THE
FRAMERS OF THE CONSTITUTION WHO
DIVIDED POWER AND AUTHORITY WHO
SEPARATED IT OUT. WHO UM, HAD
BROKEN AWAY FROM GEORGE THE
THIRD AND DECLARED HIM TO BE A
TYRANT. THERE WAS NO WAY THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE PUT IN THE HANDS
OF ONE PERSON THE AUTHORITY TO
DETERMINE WHO WAS GOING TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
