shooting in broad daylight at Eastern
Market brand new information just in as
police reveal what set it all off
tragedy in south lyon a road worker
killed after being hit by an asphalt
truck were live as we're learning more
about a young life lost too soon we're
gonna begin with a story developing
right now detroit police investigating
not one but two attempted abductions on
Detroit's east side those attacks
happened about two miles from each other
about a half an hour apart take a look
at this map what happened right near the
intersection of eight mile and
Shakespeare as a team girl was walking
to school nearby the other just two
miles away at Nottingham and meringue
let's get to Mar McDonald's she's live
tonight mara are police saying that
these two are connected Kimberly the
short answer is they're not sure they
simply don't know but let me tell you
what we do know we are at the spot here
at Shakespeare and eight mile which is
where the first of these attempted
abductions happen now realize they're
different there are some real
differences here the first one being
what happened here far more aggressive
it was right near this intersection that
the man actually got out of what
witnesses say was a dark colored four
door car and grabbed at the 16 year-old
girl on her way to school he got out his
vehicle he grabbed the teenager by her
arm he tried to pull her to his vehicle
she fought him off and we also had a
civilian who saw the tussle or scuffle
take place assistance a 16 year old and
the 16 year old was able to fight off
the attack or the attacker got in his
vehicle and fled less than an hour later
in about two miles away from Shakespeare
and eight mile another attempted
abduction a black female 11 year old 11
years old who was walking to school in
the area of meringue and Nottingham
about two two miles away from where the
Shakespeare and eight mile incident took
place and as I 11 year I was walking to
school black male and a yellow vehicle
pulled up and as he pulled up he rolled
his window down and ax her to come to
the vehicle that 11 year old she ran and
she went despairing this time the car is
different it's yellow but the
description of the man is this
named black man in his 46 to 200 pounds
dark complexion wearing black pants a
black hat brown shoes and he had a
scruffy beard back here alive Detroit
police way beefing up their presence in
this area and I don't just mean patrols
we've had officers going door-to-door
around here asking people if they'd seen
anything trying to update them on the
situation and the assistant chief was
very clear to me he said we have a
predator out here and we need to find
them
Devon came burly back to you so the
Mauryan are they leading toward these
being connected at all well I think I
asked the assistant chief the same thing
he said if he had to make a call on it
right now
he'd say they weren't connected but that
doesn't mean that they're not
investigating it as a possibility that
they are so that's the simple answer I
guess is what I've got right now can
really doubt you and we're following
breaking news right now coming to the

Craig Bryson with the Oakland County
Road Commission says safety is a big
priority on these job sites we tried to
make sure that they enforce all my OSHA
laws and rules and regulations regarding
safety we strive to do everything we can
to prevent these things from happening
the Ajax contracting company released a
statement about what happened saying
quote in part we are at this time
investigating the facts surrounding the
incident our most heartfelt sympathies
are with the immediate family and
friends as well as the Ajax family of
employees and police say the truck
driver was devastated out on the scene
and they do not believe any foul play
was involved back to you well cocoa in
saying that it was a tragic accident
what is what are the implications now
for the driver of the truck now so
police say the driver was drug tested
just following protocol and they say the
case may still be turned over to the
prosecutor's office let's see all right
Coco now to a deadly shooting today at
Eastern Market police say a worker
spotted two men in the back of a
delivery truck trying to steal meat and
that's when things went sideways rod
Maloney is live there tonight so rod
this happened in broad daylight Eastern
Market is always busy
yes it's always busy here it happened
right here at the corner of the East
freeway Fisher freeway and RIE Appel
there were three trucks that pulled up
here and we're told that it it often
happens here where people just come up
and start opening the backs of trucks
and stealing stuff and in this case one
of the people who owns the company was
watching out for his other driver and
that's when this thing really did get
sad and fatal three trucks from Marshall
Johnson meets a VIP Salani showed up at
Eastern Market around 10:00 a.m. to make
deliveries police tell us these trucks
often become targets for thieves and
that was the case this morning Larry are
known who works at Eastern Market heard
the commotion and went running I ran
over there to go see if I had to get my
hand and then I heard you know the gun
shot and we walked over there and fellas
laying in the street so kind of scary
Detroit police say the trucking company
owner shot the unidentified man in the
head deputy police chief Arnold Williams
says the man allegedly trying to steal
from the truck did have a weapon he
observed someone reaching for something
of what he believed to be a weapon this
is one of the the two individuals who
were committing larceny and when he saw
that he pulled his weapon and fired a
shot the man shot we were told
had a box cutter in his possession the
second man ran from the scene Detroit
police are still looking for him one of
the other meat company employees wound
up shot in the leg the scene was bizarre
because a large group of Troy high
schoolers were at Eastern Market
enjoying a school year and scavenger
hunt only to find a body lying on the
ground near police tape under a tarp
Larry Arnone called it sad nobody should
lose their life for $100 box of meat you
know but ya know like I said he was
trying to defend you know his drivers so
and you know the driver got hurt the
last time
now Detroit police have the trucking
company owner in custody he did have a
concealed carry permit and the gun was
legally registered still there is that
possibility as they've gone and
interviewed him and keep him in custody
that they're going to have a package
send it off to the prosecutor and there
may or may not be charges we'll have to
wait and see reporting live in Detroit
rod Moloney all right rod now we move to
big news today from the NFL starting
next season the league is instituting a
rule in which players will be kept from
kneeling during the national anthem
based on the field commissioner roger
goodell he announced the rule change
today at an NFL owners meeting in
Atlanta and Bernie's here to break it
all down for us well there was obviously
no bigger topic in the NFL last season
than the players protest during the
national anthem today the league
announced their new policy requires all
team personnel on the field to stand and
show respect for the flag and the anthem
and if a player does not want to
participate he can remain in the locker
room we've got highlights and owners
were determined to try to end this scene
from last season if a player is on the
field and doesn't stand for the anthem
his team his team will be fined by the
league and the player will be subject to
discipline from Roger Goodell Goodell
said today this new policy is important
to the sport we want people to be
respectful to national anthem we want
people to stand
that's all personnel and make sure that
they treat this moment in a respectful
fashion all right now the Players Union
said they were not consulted on this
policy they say they will review no word
yet on what disciplined players could
get if they don't stand no word yet on
what kind of fine a team would get if
players on the field don't stand but
this is part of the game day operations
of an NFL team so it is not subject to
collective bargaining according to the
didn't have star no but you do have
players who stay in the locker room for
a lot of different reasons yeah before
the start of the having something
retaping and now there'll be a suspicion
that they're making a play and yeah and
at the NFL as good as they want to look
in this whole thing their TV ratings
were down last year and people didn't
show up there are revenues down the NFL
