CRASH. SKY FOUR IS OVER THE AREA OF US 23 AT WILLIS ROAD AND YOU CAN SEE MULTIPLE VEHICLES
INVOLVED IN THIS CRASH. WE’RE
TOLD THAT ONE DRIVER WAS BEING
CHASED BY POLICE AND THE DRIVER
WAS GOING THE WRONG WAY BEFORE
IT CRASHED. RIGHT NOW, THE
SOUTHBOUND LANES OF US 23 ARE
CLOSED IN THIS YPSILANTI AREA.
WE DON’T KNOW THE EXTENT OF
INJURIES, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE SEE
THAT THERE ARE AMBULANCES THERE
ON THE SCENE. WE ALSO DON’T KNOW
WHY POLICE WERE AFTER THIS
DRIVER, BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW THIS AND PROVIDE YOU WITH
MORE UPDATES AS THEY COME INTO
OUR NEWSROOM. OUR OTHER TOP
STORY THIS NOON IS ANOTHER TEEN
BECOMES THE VICTIM OF GUN
VIOLENCE IN DETROIT. THE FAMILY
TELLING US THAT A 16 YEAR OLD
BOY WAS KILLED IN A DOUBLE
SHOOTING OVERNIGHT. IT HAPPENED
ON GRIGGS NEAR WYOMING AND EIGHT
MILE ON DETROIT’S WEST SIDE. AND
SHAWN LEY IS THERE AND SEAN, I
KNOW YOU’VE HAD A CHANCE TO TALK
WITH THIS GRIEVING FAMILY.
>> AND THE MORE WE TALK AND TALK
TO NEIGHBORS OUT HERE, ALONG
WITH INVESTIGATORS, WE’RE
LEARNING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN AT
LEAST THREE SHOOTINGS RIGHT IN
THIS AREA IN THE PAST 24 HOURS.
AND THE ONE YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT
WAS OVERNIGHT POLICE
INVESTIGATING AT LEAST THREE
DIFFERENT SCENES OF THIS
PARTICULAR SHOOTING, ENDING HERE
WITH A 16 YEAR OLD. HIS BODY
BEING DISCOVERED RIGHT HERE,
JUST SIX TEEN YEARS OLD, AS
POLICE INVESTIGATE, HIS FAMILY’S
HEARTBROKEN. AND, OF COURSE,
THEY’RE SEARCHING FOR SOME
ANSWERS, AS I WANT TO SAY TO ALL
YOU, YOUNG, YOUNG PEOPLE, THESE
STREETS DON’T LOVE YOU.
>> BE WITH YOUR FAMILY AND BE AT
HOME.
>> THIS HEARTBROKEN GRANDMA SAYS
HER GRANDSON, A 16 YEAR OLD
NAMED SIR SPILLER, WAS SHOT AND
KILLED HERE NEAR GRIGGS AND
CHIPPEWA EARLY THIS MORNING. IT
WAS JUST AFTER 230 THIS MORNING
THAT DETROIT POLICE WERE CALLED
HERE ON A DOUBLE SHOOTING AN
ADULT MALE IN HIS LATE 20S WAS
SHOT. HE WAS TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL WHERE RIGHT NOW POLICE
TELL US HE IS IN STABLE
CONDITION. THE 16 YEAR OLD, HIS
FAMILY TELLS US, WAS SHOT IN HIS
HEAD. HIS MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER
WITH NO INFORMATION TO GO ON
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY. I
HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO THE POLICE.
>> THAT’S WHY I’M HERE. JUST
TRYING TO SEE WHERE THE LAST
PLACE HE WAS, WHERE HE WAS
WALKING. I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
HARD, HARD, REALLY ROUGH
FEELINGS OUT HERE.
>> AND OF COURSE, IT’S A 16 YEAR
OLD SPOKE TO HIS MOTHER, WHO’S
AT HOME RIGHT NOW. SHE DOESN’T
KNOW WHY THE 16 YEAR WHY HER SON
WAS OUT HERE AROUND 11 LAST
NIGHT. NOW, WE KNOW THE POLICE
WERE HERE WITH AN ACTIVE SCENE
AT 230 ON THIS MORNING. BUT WE
BELIEVE FROM NEIGHBORS THAT THIS
ACTUALLY UNFOLDED, RHONDA,
AROUND 11:00. ALSO, WE’RE
DIGGING INTO MORE ABOUT THE
THREE SHOOTINGS IN THIS AREA THE
PAST 24 HOURS. WE’RE GOING TO
GET AN UPDATE FROM POLICE ON
THAT THIS AFTERNOON. WE CONTINUE
TO GATHER VIDEO FROM THIS AREA
AS WELL THAT MIGHT HELP PIECE
TOGETHER WHAT’S GOING ON. BACK
TO YOU. SO MANY GRIEVING
FAMILIES.
>> SEAN, THANK YOU. A FIRE TEARS
THROUGH A SOUTHFIELD STRIP MALL
OVERNIGHT. WE BROUGHT YOU THIS
AS BREAKING NEWS. ALL MORNING
LONG. IT STARTED IN A CLOSED
DOWN BEAUTY SUPPLY STORE, WAS
NOT CURRENTLY IN BUSINESS, BUT
IT WAS A PART OF THE STRIP MALL
OF CONNECTED BUSINESSES. RIGHT
ON TEN MILE AT SOUTH FIELD ROAD.
FIRE CREWS WERE ABLE TO CONTAIN
THE FIRE TO JUST THAT STORE. BUT
OTHER BUSINESSES MAY HAVE
SIGNIFICANT SMOKE DAMAGE. NO ONE
WAS HURT IN THE FIRE. THE CAUSE
IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION.
TOMORROW MARKS A GRIM
ANNIVERSARY IN UVALDE, TEXAS. IT
HAS BEEN ONE YEAR SINCE 19
CHILDREN AND TWO ADULTS WERE
KILLED AND A SHOOTING AT ROBB
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. JAY GRAY IS
IN UVALDE WITH HOW THE COMMUNITY
IS COPING. ONE YEAR LATER.
>> WELL, TOMORROW WILL MARK A
YEAR SINCE THIS TOWN SUFFERED
SUCH AN OVER WHELMING TRAGEDY.
>> 19 CHILDREN, TWO SCHOOL
TEACHERS KILLED AT ROBB
ELEMENTARY HERE IN UVALDE BY AN
18 YEAR OLD GUNMAN. ARMED WITH A
SEMIAUTOMATIC RIFLE BURSTING
INTO THAT SCHOOL. AND OPENING
FIRE IN THE YEAR THAT’S
TRANSPIRED. THERE’S OBVIOUSLY
STILL A LOT OF PAIN. IN FACT,
YOU CAN SEE THE CROSS IS THE
STUFFED ANIMALS, THE FLOWERS
HERE BEHIND US. THIS ALL STARTED
AS A MAKESHIFT MEMORIAL AFTER
THE ATTACK AND HAS NOW GROWN
INTO WHAT IS A PERMANENT MARKER
WHERE A YEAR LATER PEOPLE STILL
GATHER IN THIS COMMUNITY TO
REMEMBER THOSE LOST. BUT THERE’S
ALSO A GROWING FRUSTRATION AND
ANGER HERE. SO MANY OF THE
FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS PUSHING
FOR CHANGE TO GUN LAWS IN TEXAS
, PUSHING FOR AN END TO THE
ONGOING INVESTIGATION. AFTER 12
MONTHS INTO WHAT HAPPENED HERE
AND HOPING AT SOME POINT, AS
CITY LEADERS HAVE TALKED ABOUT
ROBB ELEMENTARY, WHERE THE
SHOOTING TOOK PLACE, WILL BE
TORN DOWN. BUT NONE OF THAT HAS
HAPPENED. AND SO THERE IS A LOT
OF ANGER ABOUT THINGS NOT MOVING
FORWARD HERE LIKE SO MANY HAD
THOUGHT THEY WOULD. AND ONE
THING YOU HEAR FROM THOSE FAMILY
MEMBERS, THOUGH, MANY WHO DROVE
EVERY WEEK TO THE TEXAS
LEGISLATURE LOBBYING FOR CHANGES
TO GUN LAWS, IS THAT THEY’RE NOT
GOING TO GIVE UP THIS FIGHT THAT
THEY WILL CONTINUE HOPING TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEIR LOVED ONES
DIDN’T DIE IN VAIN. THERE ARE NO
REAL PUBLIC REMEMBRANCE IS
SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW. SO THE
DAY A YEAR LATER, AFTER THE
ATTACK. FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE
VICTIMS, THOUGH, DO PLAN TO
GATHER PRIVATE LEE AND SPEND
SOME TIME WITH EACH OTHER. THE
ONLY ONES WHO CAN REALLY KNOW
THE TRUE PAIN OF EVERYTHING THAT
WAS LOST HERE. THAT’S THE LATEST
FROM UVALDE. I’M JAY GRAY. NOW
BACK TO YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT, JAY, THANK YOU.

AFTERNOON THAT WE HAVE IN THE
FORECAST. SUNSHINE THOUGH,
RETURNS AND WE WARM THINGS BACK
UP FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. YOU
CAN SEE THE FILTERED SUNSHINE
OUT THERE. THAT’S NOT CLOUD
COVER AS MUCH AS IT IS UPPER
LEVEL SMOKE THAT WE’RE
CONTENDING WITH. 71 DEGREES HERE
IN THE CITY AND WE’RE STILL
GOING TO HOLD ON TO THOSE HAZY
CONDITIONS GIVEN THAT WE ARE
STILL DEALING WITH A THICK LAYER
OF SMOKE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
COMING FROM THE ALBERTA
WILDFIRES. AND SO THAT’S DRAPING
THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
UPPER MIDWEST AND OFF INTO THE
NEW ENGLAND STATES. TEMPERATURES
RIGHT NOW MAINLY IN THE 70S, 71
AT METRO AIRPORT, 72 AT CITY

CLEMENS, UP TOWARDS SANDUSKY. SO
THE REST OF THE DAY, WE ARE
GOING TO CLIMB CLOSE TO 80
DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON AND WE
WILL HOLD ON TO SUNSHINE. BUT A
FEW MORE CLOUDS MIX IN TOMORROW
WITH SOME TUMBLING TEMPERATURES.
JUST HOW COOL IT’S GOING TO GET.
WE’LL TIME IT OUT FOR YOU COMING
UP NEXT.

MEDIA FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL.

RISK OF MENTAL HEALTH HARM FOR
KIDS. WHAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH
LEADER IS RECOMMENDING READING
ALL PARENTS SHOULD DO ABOUT IT.
