NEWS STARTS NOW, WITH THE
BREAKING NEWS ALERT THAT
BREAKING NEWS COMING UP AT
ATLANTA, WHERE POLICE ARE
SEARCHING FOR A SUSPECT IN A
MASS SHOOTING. ONE PERSON IS
DEAD FOR OTHERS INJURED. HERE’S
WHAT WE KNOW. RIGHT NOW. THE
SHOOTING TOOK PLACE AT A MEDICAL
BUILDING IN MIDTOWN ATLANTA. IT
HAPPENED ON WEST PEACHTREE
STREET. IF YOU KNOW THE CITY
THAT’S THE COMMERCIAL AREA WITH
MANY OFFICE TOWERS AND HIGH RISE
APARTMENTS. AT LEAST IDENTIFY
THE SUSPECTS AS 24 YEAR OLD DION
PATTERSON, WHO WAS REPORTEDLY
GOING TO THE OFFICE FOR A MENTAL
HEALTH CHECK. THEY WARNED HE
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ARMED AND
DANGEROUS. SO FAR, WE HAVEN’T
HEARD ABOUT A SPECIFIC MOTIVE.
ONE MAN WAS JUST TRYING TO GO TO
A NEARBY WHOLE FOODS WHEN HE GOT
CAUGHT IN THAT SCARY SCENE. ALL
OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS PUSHING US
OUT OF THE BUILDING, PUSHING
FURTHER BACK INTO THE STREETS,
TELLING US TO GET AWAY FROM THIS
BUILDING WHERE THE ACTIVE
SHOOTER WE’RE AT AND JUST
TELLING US TO GET BACK. GET BACK
SHOOTER. IT’S AN ACTIVE SHOOTER.
RIGHT NOW. POLICE DON’T SEEM TO
HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE THE SUSPECT
MIGHT BE A SHELTER IN PLACE
ORDER IN THE AREA HAS BEEN
LIFTED. REPORTERS ON THE SCENE
SAY THERE MAY BE A CAR JACKING
THAT’S ACTUALLY CONNECTED TO
THIS CURRENT MANHUNT IN THE
SUSPECT MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
LEAVE THE IMMEDIATE AREA UPDATES
ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES AS THEY
CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TONIGHT AT
FIVE, ALSO FIRST AT FOUR, THE
FAMILY OF AN EIGHTH GRADER SUING
A DETROIT CHARTER SCHOOL
ALLEGING SHE WAS STRIP SEARCHED
OVER CLAIMS SHE WAS CARRYING A
VAPE PEN IN HER UNDERWEAR. THE
SUIT TARGETS THE GEORGE CROCKETT
ACADEMY UNDER TROY’S WEST SIDE
AND SOME OF ITS EMPLOYEES, IT
ALLEGES ANOTHER STUDENT WITH
KNOWN ANIMOSITY TOWARD THE
EIGHTH GRADER MADE THE CLAIM.
THEN SCHOOL STAFF FORCED THAT
EIGHTH GRADER TO STRIP DOWN TO
HER UNDERWEAR WITHOUT CALLING
HER MOTHER AT ANY POINT IN THE
PROCESS. WE DID REACH OUT TO
GEORGE CROCKETT ACADEMY FOR
REACTION. WE’RE WAITING TO HEAR
BACK WE’LL HAVE AN UPDATE ON
THIS CASE WHEN YOU JOIN US AT
SIX. DETROIT LAUNCHING A NEW
PROGRAM TO RULE THOSE DEAD AND
DANGEROUS TREES FROM YARDS. IT’S
TAKING NEARLY $9 MILLION IN
BUDGET SURPLUS TO FUND THE DEAD
DANGEROUS AND DISEASE TREE
PROGRAM, PEOPLE CAN REPORT
PROBLEMS ON THEIR PRIVATE
PROPERTY AND HAVE THEM TRIMMED
OR REMOVED AT NO COST THE CITY
THINGS THAT CAN TARGET 1500
TREES PAYING FOR TREE REMOVAL
OUT OF POCKET CAN GET REALLY
EXPENSIVE. RIGHT NOW. IT’S JUST
A PILOT PROGRAM, BUT THE CITY
COUNCIL HOPES IT CAN BECOME
PERMANENT. IN OUR FIRST FORECAST
, SHOWERS ARE ENDING SOMETHING
NEW JUST POPPED UP FORWARD.
METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS IS HERE
TO BRING US UP TO DATE. SO WHAT
CHANGED JUST WITHIN THE LAST FEW
MINUTES, THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FROST
ADVISORY. IT’S NOT FOR ALL OF
SOUTHEAST LOWER MICHIGAN. BUT IT
IS FOR ANYWHERE YOU SEE PICTURED
HERE IN BLUE, WHICH INCLUDES
WASHING ALL OAKLAND, LIVINGSTON
AND GENESEE COUNTIES UNTIL NINE
A.M. TOMORROW. IT DOES NOT
INCLUDE THE EAST SIDE, MCCOMB,
WAYNE OR ALSO DOWN INTO MONROE.
SO HOPEFULLY YOU HAVEN’T PLANTED
THOSE FLOWERS YET. TEMPERATURES
WILL BE DROPPING DOWN INTO THE
THIRTIES, POSSIBLY EVEN LOWER
THAN THIS. BUT ON THE EAST SIDE,
WE’RE GOING TO STAY IN THE
FORTIES, SO THAT’S WHY IT
DOESN’T INCLUDE WAYNE AND ALSO
MACOMB COUNTIES. HIGH
TEMPERATURES, THOUGH WE WON’T
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT FROST FOR
VERY MUCH LONGER BECAUSE WE ARE
HEADED TOWARDS A BIG WARMING
TREND BY THE WEEKEND. WE’RE BACK
INTO THE SEVENTIES, BUT WE’LL
TALK ABOUT THE CHANCES FOR RAIN
OVER THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS IN THE
FORECAST. ALRIGHT, THANK YOU,
KIM. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE
WE’RE ALL BECOMING THOSE LIKE
JUNIOR PROFESSORS AS WE SPEND
TIME TRACKING INFLATION,
INTEREST RATES AND ALL THOSE
OTHER ECONOMIC INDICATORS. IT IS
ALL PART OF AN UNDERSTANDING OF
THE ECONOMY AND WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO OUR BANK ACCOUNTS.
GIL HERE NOW WITH ANOTHER BIG
DECISION FROM THE FED TODAY, AND
WE GOT THIS NEWS JUST A SHORT
TIME AGO. WE DID GOOD AFTERNOON
TO YOU, KAREN. THE FED HAS BEEN
LOCKED IN A BATTLE WITH
INFLATION FOR MONTHS NOW TRYING
TO BRING DOWN PRICES WITHOUT
PUSHING THE UNITED STATES INTO A
RECESSION PRICES HAVE BEEN
DROPPINGBUT NOT FAR ENOUGH FOR
THE FEDS. SO TODAY, REGULATORS
RAISED A KEY INTEREST RATE A
QUARTER POINT, PUSHING IT TO THE
HIGHEST LEVEL IN 16 YEARS. BUT
THIS TIME THE FED IS CHANGING
ITS LANGUAGE WHEN IT COMES TO
WHETHER THE HIKES WILL CONTINUE.
IT NOW SAYS IT WILL CONSIDER A
RANGE OF FACTORS TO DETERMINE A
FUTURE HIKES. MIGHT BE NEEDED.
YOU’VE SEEN HOW THE RATE
INCREASE TRICKLES DOWN TO US
WITH HIGHER INTEREST ON THINGS
SUCH AS NEW MORTGAGES, NEW AUTO
LOANS AND CREDIT CARDS.
INFLATION PEAKED AT 9.1% LAST
JUNE AND WAS DOWN TO 5% IN MARCH
, BUT THAT’S STILL ABOVE THE
FED’S TARGET RATE OF 2% AS THE
MARKETS CLOSED. LET’S SEE HOW
WALL STREET IS REACTING. STOCKS
HAVE BEEN HOLDING STEADY RIGHT
AFTER THE FED’S ANNOUNCEMENT.
AND AS WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW
YORK STOCK EXCHANGE RIGHT NOW,
THE BIG BOARD YOU CAN SEE THAT
THE DOW IS DOWN 270 POINTS.
TODAY’S MOVE WAS WIDELY EXPECTED
IN MOST COMPANIES HAVE BEEN
TURNING IN BETTER PROFITS THAN
ACTUALLY FEARED. SO KAREN, WE’RE
STILL GATHERING MORE REACTION TO
THE HIKE, AND WE’LL HAVE A
REPORT FROM WASHINGTON WHEN YOU
JOIN US FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT
FIVE. UNTIL THEN, WE’LL SEND IT
BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, KIM. A
MASSIVE MANHUNT IS OVER AFTER
THE ARREST OF THE SUSPECT IN A
SHOOTING THAT LEFT FIVE PEOPLE
DEAD IN TEXAS IN THE END,
FRANCISCO OROPEZA DIDN’T GET
VERY FAR. HE WAS FOUND LAST
NIGHT, HIDING IN A CLOSET IN A
HOME ABOUT A 20 MINUTE DRIVE
FROM THE SHOOTING SCENE. WE’RE
TOLD AN ANONYMOUS TIP LED POLICE
TO HIS HIDING PLACE FOR OTHER
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED IN
CONNECTION WITH HIS TIME ON THE
RUN. HE’S ACCUSED OF KILLING
FIVE PEOPLE, INCLUDING A NINE
YEAR OLD BOY. AFTER OROPEZA WAS
ASKED TO STOP SHOOTING A GUN IN
HIS YARD LAST FRIDAY NIGHT.
THAT’S A BIG NEWS FROM THE FDA.
THE AGENCY JUST APPROVE THE
WORLD’S VERY FIRST VACCINE FOR
THE RESPIRATORY VIRUS. R S V.
MEDICAL MILESTONE HAS BEEN 60
YEARS IN THE MAKING. THE NEW
SHOT IS APPROVED FOR ADULTS, 60
YEARS AND UP IN THE LATE STAGE
CLINICAL TRIAL. THE SINGLE DOSE
VACCINATION LOWER THE RISK OF
SYMPTOMATIC ILLNESS BY 83% AND
SEVERE ILLNESS BY 94. THE CDC
ADVISORY PANEL WILL MEET IN JUNE
TO DISCUSS HOW THE SHOT SHOULD
BE USED. THE GOAL IS TO HAVE THE
VACCINE AVAILABLE BY THIS FALL
BEFORE THE NEXT RSV SEASON.
SOMETIMES A SCHOOL PROJECT IS SO
INTERESTING. WE’VE GOT TO SHARE
IT WITH YOU. SO TAKE A LOOK AT
THESE SALMON. THEY ARE RAISED IN
A CLASSROOM AND TROY. IT’S ALL
PART OF A PROGRAM TO HELP THE
ENVIRONMENT, BUT IT BRINGS UP A
LOT OF QUESTIONS. PAULA TOPPLING
OVER LARSON MIDDLE SCHOOL IN
TROY AND PAULA. HERE’S WHAT I’M
WARNING IF THE SALMON RETURNED
TO THE WATERS OF THEIR BIRTH
SPAWNED, THEN THAT’S GOT TO BE
CONFUSING TO THESE FISH, RIGHT?
YEAH I HAVE NO IDEA HOW ON EARTH
THEY WOULD MAKE IT A LONG, LONG
LAKE. OKAY? NO THAT’S A JOKE. SO
THESE ARE CHINOOK SALMON, AND
THEY ARE GOING TO BE RELEASED
INTO THE CLINTON RIVER. TOMORROW
THEY HAVE BEEN LOVINGLY RAISED
BY STUDENTS. SO TECHNICALLY, YES
, INDEED. THIS IS THE PLACE OF
THEIR BIRTH. SO, HMM. LOVINGLY
CARED FOR SINCE THEY WERE EGGS
AND HATCHED AND THEN TEENY, TINY
LITTLE FISH. THE SALMON DIDN’T
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HUNGARY.
CRUSTACEANS MEANS SALAMANDERS,
POLLUTION OR ACCIDENTAL HUMAN
DESTRUCTION. THEY’VE BEEN
CAREFULLY RAISED BY STUDENTS.
THREE SCHOOLS OF THE CHOICE
SCHOOL DISTRICT HAVE BEEN
PARTICIPATING IN THE SALMON IN
THE CLASSROOM PROJECT. THIS IS
LARSON MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND WITH
THE GUIDANCE FROM THE D, N, R,
AND SOME SERIOUS PERSEVERANCE
AFTER THE IDEA WAS HATCHED FOUR
YEARS AGO AND THEN STALLED BY
COVID THIS YEAR, STUDENTS HAVE
HAD THE ABILITY TO DO THEIR PART
TO BRING CHINOOK SALMON ALL OF
THEIR IMPORTANT PHASES IN ORDER
TO BE RELEASED INTO THE WILD.
THEY START OFF AT THE ID EGG
STAGE WHERE IT IS JUST EGGS AND
YOU CAN SEE LIKE THE EYES OF THE
FISH, AND THEN THEY MOVE ON TO
THE SAC FRY STAGE AND THEN ONCE
THEY’RE SACK IS GONE. THEY ARE
CALLED PAR AND THAT WHEN WE
STARTED FEEDING THEM, AND THEN
ONCE THEY GROW UP A LITTLE BIT,
THEY BECOME SMALL, AND THAT IS
WHEN WE WILL BE RELEASING THEM
TODAY, LOTS OF SALMON CENTRIC
ACTIVITIES. WHICH OF THESE TWO
SMELL LIKE THAT. THERE’S A LOT
OF EXCITEMENT AHEAD OF
THURSDAY’S BIG RELEASE TANK HAS
BEEN AT 52 F ALL YEAR, SO EVERY
DAY WE’RE BRINGING IT DOWN A
DEGREE OR TWO, SO THAT WILL HELP
BECAUSE OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE
TO TAKE SOME TIME TO ACCLIMATE
THEM TO THE TEMPERATURE JUST TO
RELEASE THESE FISH THAT WE HAVE
RAISED LITERALLY SENSE LIKE THEY
WERE BORN AND JUST CREATE THIS
WHOLE CYCLE. IT WOULD. IT’S SO
COOL. THESE YOUNG GIRLS WILL
SPEND UP TO TWO MONTHS IN THE
WATERS OF THE CLINTON RIVER
BEFORE MAKING IT TO LAKE ST
CLAIR TO GROW. LOTS OF
CHALLENGES, THOUGH THESE ARE
GOOD EATING TO A LOT OF SPECIES
, BUT FOR THOSE FISH LINKS THAT
ACTUALLY SURVIVED TWO YEARS OR
MORE, THEY WILL SPAWN COMING
BACK TO THE WATER’S NOT IN WHICH
THEY WERE HATCHED, BUT THE
WATERS IN WHICH THEY FOUND THEIR
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPRINT, THEY CAN
EVEN SMELL WHERE THEY WERE, LIKE
BIRTHDAY FROM AND SWIM BACK AND
SPAWN. BECAUSE WE’RE RELEASING
THEM. IN THIS PHASE, THEY’LL
REMEMBER TO COME BACK TO RIVER
BENDS PARK WHERE WE RELEASED
THEM IN LIKE 23 YEARS WHEN THEY
TURN BROWN ER, THEY’RE GOING TO
COME BACK BECAUSE THEY GET A
SIGNAL IN THEIR MINDS THAT IT’S
TIME TO RESPOND. OH MY GOSH,
THIS IS SCIENCE NIRVANA. HOW
ABOUT THAT? THAT FRY SACK. I HAD
NO IDEA THAT THE FISH WERE
ACTUALLY ABLE TO FEED THEMSELVES
IN THE EARLY STAGES. SO NOW
THEY’RE IN THE SMALL FACE.
TEACHERS ARE GETTING THEM READY
FOR THEIR GREAT BIG JOURNEY.
FIVE PM AT RIVERBEND PARK. I
THINK THAT’S IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP
PUBLIC IS INVITED TO COME OUT
AND WATCH ABOUT 200 SMALTZ.
THAT’S THE STAGE OF THE SALMON
ACTUALLY GET RELEASED. SO CUTE
LITTLE FACES, KAREN. I JUST HOPE
THEY DON’T END UP AS SUSHI. OH
WE’RE NOT GONNA THINK THAT WAY.
NOT AT ALL. BUT WHAT A COOL
STORY THE DIFFERENT STAGES AND
HOW THEY’RE ABLE TO MANEUVER
THEIR WAY THROUGH THE WATER. I
HAD NO IDEA HOW THAT WORKED
