THE PROPER PLACE AND WHERE THIS
MARKER BELONGS. WE’RE MILES AWAY

PLACE THAT YESTERDAY THE NEW
HOMEOWNER MADE A SURPRISING

GRAVESTONE. WELL IT IS HERE WERE
CLAY IS BURIED, AND SOON
THERE’LL BE A NEW ADDITION. THIS
IS JACK CLAY’S GRAVE MARKER
DISCOVERED HERE HIDDEN IN THE
BACKYARD OF THIS DETROIT HOME
RECENTLY, IT WAS OVER. HE WAS
LIKE A LOT OF DEBRIS OVER HERE,
AND JUST YEAH, IT WAS IN A IT
WAS IN THAT BOX. IT’S OVER
THERE, AND I JUST THOUGHT WE
JUST THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MORE
DEBRIS. SORREL THE HOMES NEW
OWNER COULDN’T BELIEVE WHAT HE
FOUND SHOCKED. YEAH YEAH, IT’S
NOT SOMETHING YOU EXPECT TO SEE
IN YOUR BACKYARD. NEVER. RIGHT
SO I NEVER WE’VE NEVER COME
ACROSS ANYTHING LIKE THAT. JUST
WHERE WAS JACK CLAY YESTERDAY
AFTER OUR STORY AIRED. I HEARD
FROM SO MANY OF YOU PROVIDING
INFORMATION ABOUT HIS
WHEREABOUTS, AND THAT LEADS US
HERE. 23 MILES AWAY TO THE
CEMETERY IN CLINTON TOWNSHIP,
THIS UNMARKED GRAVE CLAY’S FINAL
RESTING SPOT. SOMETIMES PEOPLE
THEY JUST DIE, AND THEY LIVED.
AND THE HOUSE AND ABOUT ON THE
HOUSE CAN BE TOO MANY FACTS. THE
CEMETERY LEARNING NOW THAT
CLAY’S GRAVE MARKER HAS BEEN
DISCOVERED, THEY’LL INSTALL IT
FOR THE VETERAN FREE OF CHARGE.
THANK YOU FOR HIS SERVICE TO HIS
COUNTRY FOR THE BETTER AS THEY
GIVE US A 54 COUNTRY AND GIVE US
THE FREEDOM AND EVERY NIGHT WE
ALL KNOW TO HAVE ONE OF VETERANS

HERE LIVE IN DETROIT. SO NOW
WHAT WE HAVE IS WE HAVE THAT
HEADSTONE THAT GRAY BARKER RIGHT
HERE IN THE BACK OF THE OLD NEWS
VAN. WE’RE GOING TO BE BRINGING
THIS UP TO THE CEMETERY IN THE
MORNING. THEY’RE GOING TO HAVE
TO TAKE A WHILE THE GROUND IS
STILL FROZEN IN SOME AREAS.
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO
DO THE INSTALL INTO APRIL. WE’VE
ALSO BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE
VETERANS ASSOCIATION OUT OF
WASHINGTON, D C. THEY ASSURE US
THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON. THE
CEMETERY CAN’T COVER ALL THE
COSTS. THEY WILL STEP IN AND
TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING
FINANCIALLY. WE’RE LIVE HERE
TONIGHT IN DETROIT. HANK
WINCHESTER. HELP ME HANK. BACK
TO YOU. IT’S BEEN FASCINATING,
HANK. GOOD. ANY LUCK TRACKING
DOWN FAMILY? AND DEVIN. I HEARD
FROM SO MANY VIEWERS YESTERDAY,
ALL SCRAMBLING, WORKING TO HELP
US FIND THIS GRAVE SITE, BUT WE
DIDN’T HEAR FROM ANY FAMILY
MEMBERS. OF COURSE, IF THERE ARE
FAMILY MEMBERS OUT THERE,
CONNECT WITH US BECAUSE WE WILL
GET YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE
CEMETERY SO YOU COULD BE THERE.
IF YOU’D LIKE TO BE WHEN THIS
GRAVESTONE GOES INTO THE GROUND.
EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT, HANK. ALL
RIGHT, UPDATING SOME BREAKING
NEWS NOW DETROIT CITY COUNCIL
APPROVING AN AGREEMENT THAT
MOVES FORWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF
THE DISTRICT. DETROIT THE VOTE
SECURES $400 MILLION IN STATE
INCENTIVES THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN
LOST PAST TODAY’S DEADLINE. ROD
MELONI LIVE WITH MORE ON THE
DEAL AND THE REACTION TO IT AS
WELL. WELL YOU KNOW, THIS IS ONE
OF THOSE THINGS WERE IN
GOVERNMENT. THEY SAY YOU DON’T
WANT TO SEE HOW THE SAUSAGE GETS
MADE BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT
HAPPENED HERE TODAY. THEY HAD
SOMETHING LEFT OUT OF THE
AGREEMENT CITY COUNCIL PICKED UP
ON THAT THAT HAD TO BE DROPPED
IN LATER ON. THEY HAD TO TAKE A
BREAK BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ADD
SOME MORE LANGUAGE ABOUT AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER AND THEN COUNCIL
MEMBERS WANTED TO GET SOME
BENEFITS FOR THE CITY OF DETROIT
THAT TURNED OUT WERE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. SO THERE WAS A
LOT OF BACK AND FORTH. IT WAS A
BUMPY RIDE. BUT IN THE END
DISTRICT, DETROIT HAS BEEN GREEN
LIGHTED HERE AT CITY HALL. THIS
PROJECT WILL DO NOTHING TO BRING
PERMANENT JOBS TO YOUNG PEOPLE
HERE IN THE CITY OF DETROIT,
PASSIONS RAN HIGH YET AGAIN IN
THE CITY COUNCIL AUDITORIUM
TODAY, MOST CRUCIAL TO MAKING
THE DEAL WORK. $400 MILLION IN
MICHIGAN STRATEGIC FUND DOLLARS
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN LOST IF THE
CITY DELAYED PAST THIS AFTERNOON
. BY MID AFTERNOON COUNCIL
STARTED WEIGHING IN AND THINGS
THAT IT DIDN’T SEE IN THE FINAL
CONTRACT, AND IT TOOK TWO TRIES
IN A LONG BREAK TO GET A
FINISHED DOCUMENT ADDRESSING
MANY OF THE COUNCIL’S CONCERNS,
A LOT OF UM, HAD TO DO WITH
WHETHER DETROITERS WOULD GET
ENOUGH BENEFIT. COLEMAN YOUNG.
THE SECOND WAS HAPPY AT PAST
MAINLY, HE SAYS, BECAUSE OF THE
NEAR 700 APARTMENTS GOING IN
MORE THAN 100 ARE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
SEEN LUXURY CONDOS WITH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IN IT. I
THINK THAT AMONGST ITSELF IS
RARE, PLUS THE $100 MILLION
COMMUNITY BENEFITS AGREEMENT,
THE LARGEST COMMUNITY BENEFITS
AGREEMENT EVER. SO I THINK WE
HAVE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS GOING
FOR US HERE. THIS AGREEMENT,
PRESIDENT MARY SHEFFIELD WASN’T
FULLY ON BOARD. I THINK IT’S
GREAT FOR OUR CITY. MOST
DEFINITELY, BUT WE HAVE HAD A
LOT OF PROMISES. WITHOUT THE
STRONG GUARANTEES AND
COMMITMENTS FOR ALREADY TRADE
BASE, MINORITY CONTRACTORS AND
BUSINESSES IN THE CITY, AND IT’S
ALL ABOUT INCLUSION FOR ME. IT’S
ABOUT EQUITY, AND IT’S ABOUT
OWNERSHIP. MARY SHEFFIELD SAYS
SHE WANTS TO SEE IF SHE CAN GET
MORE OUT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR
RESIDENTS, PARTICULARLY FOR
BUSINESSES THAT ARE IN
DISADVANTAGE OR CHARACTERIZED AS
DISADVANTAGED. NOW THE OLYMPIA
PEOPLE WERE VERY HAPPY THAT THIS
PAST AND THEY SAID THAT THE NEXT
STEP IS TO GO TO LANSING GET
APPROVAL THERE AND THEN THEY
THINK THEY CAN HAVE SHOVELS IN
THE GROUND. COME JULY. SHOULD
ALL OF THAT GO WELL REPORTING
LIVE LIVE DOWNTOWN ROD MELONI
LOCAL FOOD. OKAY ROD. THANKS
DEVIN. BODY CAM VIDEO SHOWS THE
DRAMATIC MOMENTS. POLICE ENTER
THE COVENANT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
YESTERDAY, RACING TO FIND AND
STOP AN ACTIVE SHOOTER WHO HAD
ALREADY FATALLY SHOT SIX PEOPLE
. INVESTIGATORS ALSO REVEALING
MORE TODAY ABOUT WHAT THEY FOUND
IN THE SHOOTER’S VEHICLE AND
HOME. HORRIFIC SOUNDS OF GUNFIRE
RING THROUGH NASHVILLE’S
COVENANT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS
OFFICERS RACE TO STOP THE
KILLER. POLICE SAY THE 28 YEAR
OLD ATTACKER ENTERED A SIDE DOOR
BLASTING THROUGH WITH A HIGH
POWERED RIFLE ONCE INSIDE, THE
SHOOTER OPENS FIRE, KILLING
THREE CHILDREN AND THREE
STAFFERS. WITHIN MINUTES. POLICE
ARE IN THE SCHOOL. THERE WAS NO
HESITATING. THEY WENT THROUGH
THAT DOOR AND THEY WERE. THEY
WERE LOOKING FOR THE SHOOTER,
AND THEY ENGAGED AS SOON AS THEY
FOUND THE SHOOTER LOCKED. THE
OFFICERS MOVE QUICKLY,
TACTICALLY CHECKING CLASSROOMS
FOR THE SHOOTER. GUNSHOTS
GETTING LOUDER ON THE SECOND
FLOOR 14 MINUTES AFTER THE 1ST
911 CALL THE ARMED ATTACKER IS
FOUND AND NEUTRALIZED BY
OFFICERS REX ENGELBERT AND
MICHAEL COLLAZO. YOU SEE THESE
WELL ORGANIZED, COURAGEOUS YOUNG
MEN GOING RUSHING TO THE SOUND
OF THE GUNFIRE FOUND IN THE
SHOOTER’S CAR, A SERIES OF
WRITINGS ON THE KILLER, THREE
GUNS AND A R 15 RIFLE AND 29
MILLIMETER HANDGUNS WITH 30
ROUND MAGAZINES. POLICE SAY THE
SHOOTER WAS UNDER A DOCTOR’S
CARE FOR AN EMOTIONAL DISORDER
ENFORCEMENT KNEW NOTHING ABOUT
THE TREATMENT SHE WAS RECEIVING.
ABOUT HER PARENTS FELT THAT SHE
SHOULD NOT OWN WEAPONS. AS IT
TURNED OUT, SHE HAD BEEN HIDING
SEVERAL WEAPONS WITHIN THE HOUSE
CHIEF. DRAKE SAYS THOSE WEAPONS
WERE ALL PURCHASED LEGALLY.
POLICE SAY IT ALL SEVEN WEAPONS
WERE ACTUALLY OWNED BY THE
ATTACKER. THE CHIEF SAYS THE
SHOOTER’S PARENTS WERE AWARE OF
ONE WEAPON BUT BELIEVE THAT IT
HAD BEEN SOLD BACK HERE IN
MICHIGAN. MEANWHILE A GUN REFORM
BILL HAS BEEN MAKING ITS WAY
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE IN
FRANCIS’S TALKING WITH LAWMAKERS
DRIVING THIS CHANGE AND JOINS US
LIVE. LOOK AT WHERE THINGS
STAND. JACQUELINE. KIMBERLY AND
DEVIN, TWO OF THE THREE GUN
SAFETY BILLS HAVE ALREADY MADE
THEIR WAY TO THE GOVERNOR’S DESK
AND THERE JUST AWAITING HER
SIGNATURE, THE THIRD HAVING TO
DO WITH THE RED FLAG LAWS ISN’T
QUITE THERE YET, AND IT’S
TEMPORARILY ON PAUSE WHERE THE
LEGISLATURE IS ON SPRING BREAK.
AS THE NATION GRIEVES THE
TRAGEDY IN NASHVILLE. DEMOCRATIC
LAWMAKERS IN MICHIGAN ARE
POINTING TO PROGRESS MADE IN
LANSING DOING NOTHING IS NO
LONGER ACCEPTABLE BEFORE LEAVING
FOR TWO WEEKS, SPRING BREAK, THE
MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE MADE MAJOR
HEADWAY ON PASSING GUN SAFETY
LAWS. THE BILL PACKAGE INCLUDES
SAFE STORAGE, EXPANDING
BACKGROUND CHECKS AND RED FLAG
LAWS. SENATOR MALLORY MCMORROW
SAYS THE FIRST TWO ARE AS GOOD
AS DONE JUST AWAITING THE
GOVERNOR’S SIGNATURE, BUT THE
THIRD HAVING TO DO WITH RED FLAG
LAWS WILL REQUIRE MORE ACTION
FROM THE LEGISLATURE ONCE THEY
RETURNED FROM BREAK ON APRIL
11TH RED FLAG LAWS WOULD ALLOW
FAMILY MEMBERS AND MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS TO PETITION THE
COURT TO TEMPORARILY BAR SOMEONE
FROM OWNING OR PURCHASING A
FIREARM. WE’VE SEEN THAT RED
FLAG LAWS ARE ONLY AS SUCCESSFUL
AS THERE IS BY OFF FROM LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND
AWARENESS ABOUT HOW TO USE IS
THEM, SO WE’RE JUST GOING
THROUGH TO MAKE SURE EVERY
DETAIL IS RIGHT BEFORE WE PASSED
THE FINAL VERSION. REPUBLICANS
HAVE OPPOSED THE BILLS, ARGUING
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE STOPPED THE
MSU SHOOTER. REPUBLICAN SENATOR
MIKE WEBER SAID THIS ON MARCH
16TH FEAR THE BILLS BEFORE US
MAKE A LOT OF PROMISES. BUT
ULTIMATELY FALL SHORT OF
REDUCING GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR
STATE. MCMORROW SAYS RED FLAG
LAWS WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE
NASHVILLE SHOOTER. WE KNOW THAT
THE SHOOTER HAD FAMILY MEMBERS
WHO KNEW THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE
WHO KNEW THAT THEY WERE
STRUGGLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES WHO COULD HAVE FILED OR
AN EXTREMIST PROTECTION ORDER TO
ENSURE THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE
FIREARMS? WE REACHED OUT TO
REPUBLICANS FOR CURRENT COMMENT
TODAY. NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE AS
WE MENTIONED THE LEGISLATURE IS
ON BREAK REPORTING LIVE IN
DETROIT, JACQUELINE FRANCIS
