LIVE DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE STARTS NOW. NEW AT FIVE VIDEO GOING VIRAL OF A MAN
OPENING FIRE ON A HOUSE. 478
PAGES LONG WHAT’S REALLY IN IT?
HOW MICHIGAN’S NEW BUDGET IS
GOING TO IMPACT EVERYTHING FROM
GETTING KIDS TO READ TO FIXING
THE ROADS? AND A NEW LEADER FOR
THE RED WINGS. TURNS OUT, STEVE
I. ZERMAN DIDN’T HAVE TO LOOK
ALL THAT FAR FOR THE TEAM’S NEXT
COACH. AND WE ARE GOING TO BEGIN
HERE AT FIVE WITH THE WEATHER
AND STORMS MOVING THROUGH METRO
DETROIT RIGHT NOW WE DO NEED THE
RAIN. WE KNOW THAT. BUT THIS
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, MAYBE NOT THE
BEST OF TIMING. NO, NOT AT ALL.
LET’S GET RIGHT OVER TO PAUL FOR
THE LATEST, AND THE MOST NOTABLE
WEATHER RIGHT NOW IS JUST NORTH
OF I 69. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
LAPEER COUNTY RIGHT HERE. THAT’S
THIS STORM RIGHT HERE. SOLID
DOWNPOURS, TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS.
WE GOT SOME LIGHTNING HERE.
LET’S PUT A STORM TRACK AND IT
WILL DO THE STORM TRACK FROM THE
LEADING EDGE OF THE MOST NOTABLE
PART OF THAT STORM MOVING EAST
AND ABOUT 30 MPH. SO YOU CAN SEE
IT CAN BE IN THE ALE AT ABOUT 5,
35 AND BROWN CITY BY ABOUT 5 18
. SO THIS THING IS MOVING DUE
EASTWARD AS FAR AS THE REST OF
THE AREAS CONCERNED. LET’S JUST
GO BACK OUT. WE’LL DO THAT ONE
MORE TIME HERE. THERE WE GO. THE
REST OF THE AREA. IT IS JUST
GENERALLY LIGHT RAIN. THIS IS
GOOD BENEFICIAL RAIN HERE. MOST
OF IT IS SOUTH OF EIGHT MILE
HERE. NOW THERE’S ANOTHER BATCH
TO THE WEST THAT WE’RE KEEPING
AN EYE ON THIS STUFF RIGHT HERE.
MOVING EAST NORTHEASTERN, SO I
THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO
DELAY THE START OF THE TIGER
GAME, BUT I THINK WE WILL PLAY
THE GAME IN ITS ENTIRETY WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION. ONCE IT STARTS IN
THE RAIN COOLED AIR SEVENTIES,
RIGHT NOW IN THE DEW POINTS WELL
INTO THE SIXTIES, VERY STEAMY,
AND ONCE WE GET THAT RAIN OUT OF
THERE, THE TEMPERATURES IN
DETROIT JUST HOLDING IN THE
SEVENTIES FOR THE REST OF THE
GAME, I’LL BE BACK WITH YOUR
HOLIDAY WEEKEND FORECAST. JUST A
FEW ALRIGHT. SOUNDS GOOD. THANK
YOU, PAUL. NOW WE HAVE SEEN SOME
WEATHER MOVE THROUGH, BUT SO FAR
IT DOESN’T SEEM TO BE IMPACTING
FOLKS MAKING THAT TRIP UP NORTH.
LET’S TAKE A LIVE LOOK. NORTH
BONG 75 IN CLARKSTON. YOU SEE
THINGS MOVING REALLY SMOOTHLY.
THE AT THIS HOUR. M DOT
REPORTING A FEW SHORT BACKUPS,
THOUGH IN THE SAGINAW AND BAY
CITY AREAS, AND FOR THOSE FOLKS
TAKING TO THE SKIES, DELAYS ARE
ALREADY STARTING TO PILE UP.
THIS IS FLIGHT AWARE IS MISERY
MAP. IT SHOWS DELAYS AND
CANCELATIONS AND MAJOR AIRPORTS
ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. YOU CAN
SEE MAJOR HUBS LIKE NEW YORK,
ATLANTA AND HOUSTON ARE DEALING
WITH SOME TROUBLE. 680 FLIGHTS
HAVE BEEN DELAYED SO FAR
NATIONWIDE, 18 OF THEM COMING
FROM METRO AIRPORT. IF YOU’RE
HITTING THE ROAD FOR THE HOLIDAY
, GAS PRICES CONTINUE TO DIP A
BIT BACK BELOW THE $5 MARK HERE
AT HOME. TRIPLE ACES, DRIVERS
PAYING AN AVERAGE OF 4 97 A
GALLON. IT IS DOWN TWO CENTS
FROM YESTERDAY. 12 CENTS
COMPARED TO A WEEK AGO. ACROSS
THE COUNTRY TRIPLE S IS DRIVERS

GALLON THAT IS DOWN EIGHT CENTS
COMPARED TO A WEEK AGO, STILL
PLENTY EXPENSIVE TO BE DRIVING
AROUND AS WE GET READY TO
CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY LOCAL 4
LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE
WORRIED ABOUT FIREWORKS AND THE
FIRES THAT THEY COULD START. I
GUESS MAYBE THAT THE RAIN WILL
HELP THAT TOO, BUT OBVIOUSLY DRY
CONDITIONS THERE BIG
CONSERVATIVE SPECIALLY WITH WHAT
WE’VE SEEN OVER THE PAST FEW
DAYS AND WEEKS REALLY ACROSS THE
REGION. PRIYA MANN JOINS US LIVE
TONIGHT WITH THAT STORY. KAREN
DEVIN, YOU MENTIONED THE RAIN
THAT’S COMING DOWN. IT’S NOT
GOING TO BE ENOUGH TO GIVE US
KIND OF THAT SOAKING. WE NEED TO
PREVENT ANY POTENTIAL FIRES FROM
ALL OF THAT DRY GRASS. WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT SPARKLERS AND
THOSE LITTLE FIREWORKS ALL THE
WAY TO THE BIG ONES THAT MAKE
THAT LOUD EXPLOSION. THERE’S
WAYS THAT YOU CAN HAVE A LOT OF
FUN THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AND
STAY SAFE. WHEN THEY COME IN FOR
SHELLS AND WANT THE LIGHT THE
SKY UP AND MAKE ALL THE NOISE.
THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOES BOOM,
THE BIGGEST FROM THE HERCULES
ALL THE WAY DOWN TO SPARKLERS.
SOME ARE PLANNING A MOMENTOUS
JULY 4TH HOLIDAY WEEKEND. THIS
IS ONE OF THE HOLIDAYS THAT’S
ABOUT FAMILY. PICNICS AND
EVERYBODY USUALLY DO THIS THING
TOGETHER JOINTLY. BUT WHAT COMES
UP MUST COME DOWN AND IN SOME
CASES, FIREWORKS CAN LEAD TO
DANGEROUS FIRES. DON’T WANT IT
TO LAND ON THAT ROOF SHINGLES
THAT GUTTER THOSE ARE FLAMMABLE
AND THAT CAN START A HOME FIRE.
DETROIT FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
REMINDING FAMILIES THAT
FIREWORKS SHOULD BE LIT AT LEAST
25 FT. AWAY FROM THEIR HOME
BEFORE YOU LIGHT A FIREWORK
BEFORE YOU PURCHASE A FIREWORK.
YOU SHOULD BE HAVING YOUR PLAN
ALREADY, SAID CHIEF JAMES HARRIS
HAS DRY LAWNS CAN ALSO POSE A
SERIOUS RISK BUCKET AROUND WITH
WATER IN IT, KEEP WATER HOLES
AROUND AND MAKE SURE YOU
EXTINGUISH THESE FIREWORKS WHEN
YOU FINISH USING IT, REMEMBER
ONLY LIGHT ONE FIREWORK AT A
TIME. NEVER THROW FIREWORKS IN
YOUR HANDS OR PICK UP OR
REIGNITE A FIREWORK THAT FAILS
TO LIGHT. THE FOLKS OVER A TEAM
LEADER. FIREWORKS ON WEST
MCNICHOLS SAY, ALWAYS READ THE
INSTRUCTIONS AND ONLY ADULTS
SHOULD SET OFF FIREWORKS. SAFETY
IS NUMBER ONE FAR AS THE RULES
AND THE HOURS THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN IS LISTED ON THEIR
WEBSITE THE TIMES YOU CAN DO YOU
CAN’T BE BLOWING UP FIREWORKS AT
TWO A.M. YEAH THAT’S CERTAINLY
RIGHT. YOU CAN’T BE BLOWING UP
FIREWORKS AT ALL HOURS OF THE
NIGHT. OF COURSE, YOU WANT TO BE
MINDFUL OF YOUR NEIGHBORS AS
WELL AS YOU KNOW, THE NEIGHBORS
WHO HAVE FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS AT
HOME. FIREWORKS CAN BE REALLY
LOUD FOR THEM. AS FOR THAT
ORDINANCE THAT HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT, YOU CAN START LETTING
FIREWORKS ON YOUR PROPERTY
STARTING FROM THIS WEDNESDAY,
AND IT RUNS THROUGH JULY 4TH AT
11:45 P.M. THAT IS THE HARD CUT
OFF. SO 11 45 IN JULY 4TH. THAT
IS THE LAST FIREWORK. YOU CAN
LIGHT AT YOUR HOME AND, OF
COURSE, HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY
WEEKEND AND STAY SAFE. REPORTING
LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. I’M
PRIYA MANN LOCAL 4. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD HOLIDAY
TO YOU AS WELL. ALL RIGHT NOW TO
REALLY WILD THING THAT WAS
CAUGHT ON CAMERA ON DETROIT’S
WEST SIDE VIDEO GOING VIRAL,
SHOWING A MAN OPENING FIRE ON A
HOME. IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY ON
FERGUSON STREET AND A MANHUNT
STRETCHED INTO THE NIGHT.
GRANT HERMES IS LIVE TONIGHT,
GRANT POLICE DID GET THEIR GUY.
KAREN DE’VEON DID, BUT THEY ONLY
CAME AFTER A WILD CHASE TWO
SHOOTINGS AT THE SAME HOME A
STOLEN CAR WITH WEAPONS INSIDE
AND NOW THEY ARE STILL LOOKING
FOR A FORMER DETROIT POLICE
OFFICER TONIGHT. VIRAL VIDEO
FROM DETROIT’S WEST SIDE, TAKEN
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND POSTED
BY THE INSTAGRAM PAGE METRO
DETROIT NEWS VIEWED MORE THAN A
COMBINED 280,000 TIMES A MAN
HOPPING OUT OF HIS CAR WITH A
RIFLE AND FIRING DIRECTLY INTO A
HOME OF FERGUSON STREET.
ACCORDING TO POLICE. THIS MAN

THURSDAY. FIRST AROUND 11 15 IN
THE MORNING AND THEN RETURNING
LATER THAT AFTERNOON AROUND 2 30
, THE MAN SEEN IN ANOTHER VIDEO
DANCING AROUND WITH THE RIVAL IN
THE STREET, AT ONE POINT,
PROPPING THE GUN UP ON THE ROOF
OF A CAR. BUT THAT TIME A MAN
INSIDE THE HOME WAS WAITING. HE
FIRED BACK BUT WAS SHOT IN THE
FINGER, THE SHOOTER RUNNING OFF
WHERE THINGS ESCALATED EVEN
MORE. DURING THAT TIME HE WAS WE
FOUND A VEHICLE THAT HE HAD
TAKEN WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION,
AND WE RECOVERED A COUPLE OF
WEAPONS THAT STOLEN CAR
BELONGING TO A FORMER DETROIT
POLICE OFFICER. THE SUSPECT WE
TOOK INTO CUSTODY LAST NIGHT IS
A NEIGHBOR WITH OUR RETIRED

AND POLICE ARE ASKING FOR ANY
HELP. THEY CAN SCARY. I MEAN,
LIKE I SAID, THIS IS AN

NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I CAN TELL YOU
RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHY.
ALRIGHT THIS IS THAT FORMER
DETROIT POLICE OFFICER THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR RIGHT NOW. HIS NAME
IS STEPHAN HOTEL. TAKE A GOOD
LOOK AT HIS PICTURE HERE NOW.
POLICE SAY THEY’RE NOT SURE IF
HE’S SOMEWHAT WRAPPED UP IN ALL
THIS, BUT THEY ARE DEFINITELY
CONCERNED FOR HIS SAFETY. SO
THEY ARE ASKING ANYBODY WHO MAY
KNOW WHERE HE IS TO COLLEGE
POLICE. RIGHT AWAY BACK TO YOU.
CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT THE CHIEF IS
SAYING ABOUT THIS UPCOMING
HOLIDAY WEEKEND. AND WE KNOW
THAT OVERALL VIOLENT CRIME
EDITORIAL HAS BEEN TRENDING DOWN
RECENTLY, BUT THE FOURTH OF JULY
IS FREQUENTLY A VERY BUSY TIME
FOR DETROIT POLICE. SO THE CHIEF
TOLD US YESTERDAY. HE’S HOPING
EVERYBODY KEEPS THEIR COOL OVER
THIS LONG WEEKEND, BUT THEY WILL
BE OUT AND THEY WILL BE WATCHING
VERY GREAT. A GOLF COURSE IN
LIVINGSTON COUNTY WAS FORCED TO
CLOSE THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND AFTER
FIRE DESTROYED ALMOST EVERYTHING
INSIDE THE CLUBHOUSE SHORES GOLF
CLUB IS IN GENOA TOWNSHIP ON
HUGHES. NICK MONACELLI FOUND OUT
THE FIRE WASN’T THE ONLY
CHALLENGE FOR FIREFIGHTERS. YOU
GET A LOT OF LOCAL GOLFERS OUT
HERE. IT’S JUST EXTREMELY
POPULAR AFTER WORK, PEOPLE POP
ON OUT, WE DO A LOT OF LEAGUES
GOLF OUTINGS. IT’S KIND OF
DEVASTATING, ACTUALLY, FROM THE
OUTSIDE THE FIRE AT FALK WOULD
SHORES GOLF CLUB DOESN’T SEEM
TOO BAD. THEN YOU LOOK INSIDE.
WHILE THE CLUBHOUSE STILL
STANDS, IT WILL HAVE TO BE
GUTTED AND REBUILT. WOW IT IS.
GENERAL MANAGER KEN JOHNSON SAYS
THE TIMING COULD NOT BE WORSE.
THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND IS A
BIG ONE HUGE GOLF WEEKEND. IT’S
A HUGE GOLF WEEKEND. BUT RIGHT
NOW I DON’T HAVE THE AMENITIES
OR THE FACILITIES TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE ANYBODY. NOW THE
FIRE ITSELF STARTED INSIDE OF
THE KITCHEN. THEY’RE NOT EXACTLY
SURE WHERE THAT’S WHAT
INVESTIGATORS ARE TRYING TO SORT
OUT AS WE SPEAK, BUT MAKING
MATTERS EVEN WORSE. THERE ARE NO
FIRE HYDRANTS IN THIS AREA THIS
YEAR, SO WE’VE BEEN CALLING A
LOT OF DIFFERENT PARTNERS TO
HELP US OUT. HOW HAMBURG GREEN
OAK. SO YOU SEE A LOT OF CRUZ
BRINGING WATER TO US, AND THEN
WE SHUTTLE IT THAT WAY. RICHARD
STARTED GOLFING WHEN HE WAS 13
AND HE WAS WORKING HERE. BY 16.
BASICALLY KIND OF LIKE A SECOND
FAMILY TO ME. PUTTING SO MANY
HOURS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND
SAD TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED, UM I’M
JUST REALLY GLAD THAT YOU KNOW.
NO ONE WAS HERE. EVERYBODY’S
SAFE. EVERYONE IS SAFE SO
EVERYONE CAN GET TO WORK
REOPENING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO
MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO GET A
TRAILER. BATHROOM FACILITIES
WILL HAVE TO GET A HOLD OF THE
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. MAKE SURE WE
CAN OPERATE OUT OF WHATEVER
FACILITIES WE SET UP. WE’LL DO
WHATEVER WE CAN TO GET THE
BUILDING IF IT’S POSSIBLE.
REBUILT BUT IT’S GOING TO TAKE
SOME TIME TO TOWNSHIP
NICK MONACELLI LOCAL 4 LOVE
HOUSE WAS ORIGINALLY A FARMHOUSE
BACK IN THE LATE 18 HUNDREDS,
AND IT WAS CONVERTED IN 1969 4
YEARS AGO DEVELOPMENT COMPANY
BOUGHT IT AND THEN REMODELED
EVERYTHING INSIDE. SO WHAT WAS
DESTROYED IN THIS FIRE WAS
ESSENTIALLY BRAND NEW. OUR
BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW. THE
PROSECUTION TEAM IN THE FLINT
WATER CRISIS HAS FILED MOTIONS
TO CONTINUE THE CASE AGAINST
FORMER GOVERNOR SNYDER AND EIGHT
OTHERS. THE FIRST MOTIONS APPLY
TO THE DEFENDANTS FACING FELONY
CHARGES AND ASKING FOR THE CASE
IS TO BE REMANDED. TO THE
DISTRICT COURT FOR PRELIMINARY
EXAMS. SECOND MOTIONS APPLY TO
THE DEFENDANTS CHARGED ONLY WITH
MISDEMEANORS. EARLIER THIS WEEK,
MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT COURTS
RULED A JUDGE SITTING AS A ONE
PERSON JURY HAD NO POWER TO
ISSUE INDICTMENTS. WE WILL
FOLLOW IT AND SEE WHERE IT GOES.
WELL, HE’S DEFINITELY GOT A BIG
JOB AHEAD. I MEAN, STEVE I.
ZERMAN HAS HIS NEW COACH FOR THE
RED WINGS AND DIDN’T HAVE TO
LOOK TOO FAR TO FIND HIM. FOUR
DAYS AGO, DEREK HOLLAND WAS
COACHING AS AN ASSISTANT IN THE
STANLEY CUP FINALS. TODAY HE’S
TAKING ON NEW CHALLENGES. THE
RED WINGS NEW HEAD COACH ROD

HOW HE INTENDS TO IMPROVE HIS
NEW TEAM. WE NEED TO IMPROVE OUR
TEAM DEFENSE. WE NEED TO IMPROVE
THE RISK IN OUR GAME. UH WE NEED
TO IMPROVE WHAT WAS IMPORTANT
FOR US THOSE IMPORTANT HABITS OF
WINNING AND I THINK EVERY TEAM
LOOKS TO DO THAT. SO YES,
OBVIOUSLY TEMPLES IN A DIFFERENT
SPOT THAN WE ARE HERE. WE WERE
NOW WHEN NOW CHAMPIONSHIP
CALIBER TYPE TEAM, BUT IT WAS
THE SAME TYPE OF THINGS THAT GOT
US FROM GOOD TO STANLEY CUP
CHAMPION. I HOPE THEY’RE NOW

MICHIGAN AS THE 28TH COACH IN
RED WINGS HISTORY, 20 YEARS
AFTER STARTING HIS CAREER AT
FERRIS STATE UNIVERSITY, AND HE
IS A FORMER GOALIE CONNECTION
THERE, BUT, YES, HE CAN BRING
