SUN AND CLOUDS. EVEN WARMER IN

IT’S ALL COMING UP. BRANDON
THANK YOU. A MAN HAS BEEN
ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO A
SHOOTING AT LEGENDS OF MOTOR AND
ROYAL HOTEL. ONE OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES WAS SHOT AND KILLED BY
HER EX HUSBAND. LATER THAT SAME
DAY, HE TURNED HIMSELF INTO
POLICE. THIS MARKS THE THIRD
DEADLY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASE
WE’VE SEEN IN THE PAST TWO
WEEKS. DR SHARMAN DAVENPORT’S IS
THE CEO OF TURNING POINT A
SHELTER IN MACOMB COUNTY AND
SAYS THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND
MORE. THERE’S BEEN AN INCREASE
IN THE FREQUENCY OF DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE AND THE INTENSITY SO
WITH THAT, YOU KNOW, SO
IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE RECOGNIZE
WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON. DOMESTIC
VIOLENCE IS PERVASIVE. IT’S
DANGEROUS AND IT CAN BE LETHAL.
EXPERTS SAY SOME KEY WARNING
SIGNS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
INCLUDES SHOWING EXTREME
JEALOUSY, CONTROLLING FINANCES
AND PREVENTING OR DISCOURAGING
YOU FROM SPENDING TIME WITH
OTHERS. A FIVE YEAR OLD IS
RECOVERING AFTER DETROIT POLICE
SAY HE WAS SHOT IN THE HAND
WHILE IN A HOME WITH ADULTS.
THIS HAPPENED AROUND 10 O’CLOCK
YESTERDAY MORNING AND BURLINGAME
STREET, THE BOY’S MOTHER CALLED
911 WHILE AT WORK AFTER HEARING
HER SON WAS SHOT AT THIS TIME.
IT’S UNCLEAR IF THE CHILD GOT A
HOLD OF THE GUN AND SHOT HIMSELF
OR IF ONE OF THE SEVERAL ADULTS
WHO ARE INSIDE THE HOME WE’RE
HANDLING THE GUN ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT THE LITTLE BOY, PLEASE.
CHIEF JAMES WHITE SAYS THE BOY
IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER. IN
LANSING, MICHIGAN. MOTHER IS
LOOKING FOR ANSWERS AFTER HER
DAUGHTER WAS LEFT ASLEEP IN A
CLASSROOM AND DIDN’T COME HOME
FROM SCHOOL. THIS HAPPENED
EARLIER THIS MONTH ON TANNA
MILLMAN SAYS, THREE OUT OF HER
FOUR CHILDREN RETURNED HOME ON
THE BUS. BUT THEN SHE REALIZED
HER FIVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER
WASN’T THERE. WHEN SHE GOT TO
THE SCHOOL, SHE NOTICED HER
DAUGHTER WAS STILL NAPPING. AND
THE TWO SECRETARIES WERE STILL
THERE AT THE DESK, SO THEY ENDED
UP TAKEN TAKING ME TO HER
CLASSROOM WHERE THEY TURNED THE
LIGHT ON AND WE JUST SEE HER
SLEEPING AT HER DESK, AND I WAS
JUST LIKE, WHAT THE HECK? THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF JACKSON,
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND OTHER STAFF
HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE
MOTHER. THE DISTRICT SAYS THEY
WILL HELP TRANSFER THE STUDENT
TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL IF
REQUESTED. REPUBLICAN
PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS ARE
VOICING THEIR SUPPORT FOR DANIEL
PENNY. PENNY IS THE MARINE
VETERAN WHO WAS SEEN ON VIDEO
PINNING AN AGITATED BLACK SUBWAY
PASSENGER AND A FATAL CHOKEHOLD
IN NEW YORK CITY FOR THE
GOVERNOR, RANDY SANTOS IS URGING
THE NATION’S SHOW SUPPORT FOR
PENNY, ANOTHER REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE, BUT BECCA’S WANI HAS
DONATED $10,000 TO PENNY’S LEGAL
DEFENSE FUND. PENNY’S LAWYERS
SAY HE STEPPED IN TO PROTECT
HIMSELF AND OTHERS FROM JORDAN’S
NEELY, WHO THEY SAY IT WAS
AGGRESSIVELY THREATENING
PASSENGERS. NEELY’S DEATH HAS
SPARKED PROTESTS IN THE CITY
LEADERS STAND SIDE BY SIDE FOR A
FAMILY PHOTO TODAY WHILE
ATTENDING THE G SEVEN SUMMIT IN
JAPAN. THE PHOTO INCLUDED
UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR
ZELENSKYY. WHO ARRIVED TO THE
SUMMIT ON SATURDAY. THIS YEAR’S
SUMMIT FOCUSED ON RUSSIA’S WAR
ON UKRAINE AND MANAGING
RELATIONS WITH CHINA. ATTENDING
DEMOCRACIES USED THE SUMMIT TO
ANNOUNCE NEW SANCTIONS AGAINST
MOSCOW AND VOWED TO SUPPLY MORE
WEAPONS, MILITARY ASSISTANCE AND
CASH TO UKRAINE. THE SUMMIT WILL
CONCLUDE TODAY AS THE LEADERS
PARTICIPATE IN THEIR FINAL
MEETINGS. AND WHILE BUYING
HUSBAND WAS AWAY, SPEAKER OF THE
HOUSE, KEVIN MCCARTHY SAID THE
WHITE HOUSE HAS MOVED BACKWARDS
AND DEBT CEILING NEGOTIATIONS.
THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPEAKER IS
PUSHING FOR CONGRESS TO SPEND
LESS MONEY IN THE NEXT FISCAL
YEAR DUE TO INFLATION AND THE
PRE EXISTING DEFICIT. AND
UNFORTUNATELY THE WHITE HOUSE
MOVED BACKWARDS, AND I THINK
THAT BERNIE SANDERS, THE
SOCIALIST WING OF THEIR PARTY
HAS HAD REAL EFFECT ON THE
PRESIDENT, ESPECIALLY WITH HIM
BEING OUT OF THE COUNTRY. I
DON’T THINK WE’RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD TO THE
PRESIDENT CAN GET BACK IN THE
COUNTRY. THE U. S RISKS A
DEFAULT AND ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE
IF CONGRESS FAILS TO RAISE THE
BORROWING LIMIT BY THE JUNE 1ST
DEADLINE. IN THE WAKE OF THE
COVID 19 PANDEMIC. THE WORLD
HEALTH ORGANIZATION SAYS IT IS
NOW CREATING A GLOBAL NETWORK TO
HELP ALERT PEOPLE OF FUTURE
INFECTIOUS DISEASE THREATS. IT’S
CALLED THE INTERNATIONAL
PATHOGENS SURVEILLANCE NETWORK,
THE WHO SAYS IT’S BASED ON
GENOMICS AND WOULD ALLOW
COUNTRIES TO SHARE INFORMATION
ON A CENTRAL PLATFORM. THE
ORGANIZATION CALLS THE GOAL OF
THE NEW NETWORK AMBITIOUS AND
AIMS TO GIVE EVERY COUNTRY
ACCESS TO PATHOGEN GENOMIC
