DOWNTOWN. DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT FIVE STARTS NOW. THEY SAY OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL FAILED TO ACT
TWICE AND THAT THE SCHOOL
SHOOTING COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED TWO FORMER BOARD
MEMBERS SAYING THEY’RE BLOWING
THE WHISTLE ON SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
AND WHAT SPECIFICALLY DIDN’T
HAPPEN IN THE DAYS LEADING UP TO
THE TRAGEDY TO FORMER SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS SAY THEY LEFT
THEIR POST FRUSTRATION NOW
TONIGHT, THEY ARE CLAIMING THE
TRUTH HAS BEEN HIDDEN FROM THE
PUBLIC. THEY SAY THE SHOOTER
SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM
CLASS HAD THIS AND WOULD HAVE
HAD THE CLASS SCHOOL USED A
POLICY THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT
IN PLACE INSTEAD. DID THEY SAY
THE OFFICIALS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
GAVE IN TO THE STUDENTS PARENTS
AND KEPT HIM IN SCHOOL. LET’S
GET TO PAULA TUTMAN FOLLOWING
THIS TODAY, TALK TO HIS FIRST
ABOUT THIS POLICY, PAULA OKAY,
WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO
REMIND YOU THAT WE ARE TWO DAYS
FROM THE FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY
FROM WHEN THOSE STUDENTS RAN TO
THAT MEIJER TO RUN FOR THEIR
LIVES FROM THAT SCHOOL UP THERE
. FAIR QUESTION IS TO TALK ABOUT
WHY THESE TWO NOW FORMER SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS ARE COMING FORWARD
NOW. CERTAINLY A QUESTION ASKED
BY REPORTERS, BUT WE DON’T HAVE
A CLEAR ANSWER OTHER THAN THEY
SAY. THEY WERE TIRED OF NOT
BEING ABLE TO BE TRANSPARENT.
THEY CLAIMED THERE WERE EXTERIOR
FORCES THAT FORCED THEM TO STAY
SILENT. WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION
, WHO OR WHOM THEY WOULDN’T
ANSWER. WHAT WERE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF SPEAKING OUT NO
CLEAR ANSWERS ON THAT ONE ONLY
THAT THEY BELIEVE THEY COULD NOT
REMAIN SILENT ANY LONGER.
RECENTLY RESIGNED. OXFORD SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS FORMER PRESIDENT
TOM DONNELLY AND FORMER
TREASURER CORY BAILEY SAY THEY
ARE BREAKING WHAT THEY CALL IN
FORCED SILENCE OVER THE
DISTRICTS HANDLING OF THE SCHOOL
SHOOTING NOVEMBER 30TH OF LAST
YEAR BY CONFESSED KILLER ETHAN
CRUMBLY. THE BOARD WAS EVEN
PROVIDED A REPORT PRESENTATION
FROM SECURE EDUCATIONAL
CONSULTANTS WHERE THEY PRAISED
OUR TEAM AND SAID, WE HAVE DONE
A REMARKABLE JOB IN DEVELOPING
AND EXECUTING. THE EXTREMELY
COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY AND
SECURITY PLANS AND THAT OXFORD
SCHOOLS CURRENTLY PROVIDES A
VERY SAFE AND SECURE ENVIRONMENT
FOR STAFF AND STUDENTS. AGAIN IF
ALL OF THIS WERE TRUE, HOW WOULD
THE SHOOTING HAD HAPPENED? THE
2.2 STANDARD OPERATING
PROCEDURES LISTED ON THE SCHOOL
WEBSITE THAT INDICATE HOW A
DISTRICT REACTS TO THREAT
ASSESSMENTS AND THE FACT THAT
THERE IS AN ACTUAL PLAYBOOK THAT
THE DISTRICT ADOPTED IN 2004
CALLED THE ENHANCING SCHOOL
SAFETY, USING A THREAT
ASSESSMENT MODEL. IT WAS ISSUED
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY AND THE U. S SECRET
SERVICE, ACCORDING TO DONNELLY
AND BAILEY, THEIR ATTORNEY ALSO
SAYS THAT THE PRINCIPAL GOT
EXTERNAL TRAINING ON THAT
PLAYBOOK BUT NEVER PASSED THAT
TRAINING ALONG TO OTHERS. OXFORD
SCHOOL SYSTEM USES A AN
ASSESSMENT CALLED SABER, THE
SHOOTER’S CLASS. SHOULD HAVE
TAKEN THAT ASSESSMENT IN 2020
AND 2021. THEY DIDN’T EVEN
REALIZE THAT PLAYBOOK EXISTED
UNTIL FEBRUARY, THREE MONTHS
AFTER THE SHOOTING AT OXFORD
HIGH SCHOOL, AND I WOULD LATER
LEARN THAT THE SCHOOL HAD NOT
PUT THIS PLAYBOOK TO PRACTICE AT
ANY OF OUR BUILDINGS. WE HAD
BEEN INFORMED THAT THOSE
RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY HAVE
RAISED CONCERNS OVER THE LACK OF
TRAINING FOR QUITE SOME TIME.
BUT THOSE CONCERNS WERE IGNORED.
LOT WAS SAID IN THAT NEWS
CONFERENCE. LOT WAS NOT SAID BUT
ONE REALLY INTERESTING THING
THAT WAS SAID WAS THEY TALKED
ABOUT THESE MARKERS AND
UNDERSTANDING THESE MARKERS THAT
WERE IN THAT PLAYBOOK, AND IT
REALLY DOES CONNECT SOME
INTERESTING DOT WHAT WE’VE
ALREADY SEEN WITH THOSE DRAWINGS
THAT ETHAN CRUMBLEY DID IN CLASS
BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO THE
PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE. AND WE’RE
GOING TO UNPACK THAT COMING UP
AT SIX GUYS. WE WILL SEE YOU.
THEN THE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
SHOOTERS SHE JUST MENTIONED IS
GOING TO BE BACK IN COURT
TOMORROW FOR HIS MONTHLY HEARING
EVERY MONTH. THE JUDGE HAS TO
DECIDE IF ETHAN CRUMBLEY WILL BE
KEPT AT THE OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL
OR MOVE TO A JUVENILE FACILITY
HEARING REQUIRED BY LAW BECAUSE
OF HIS AGE LAST MONTH, THOUGH,
THE 16 YEAR OLD PLEADED GUILTY
TO ALL 24 CHARGES AGAINST HIM,
INCLUDING MURDER AND TERRORISM.
DETROIT POLICE CHIEF JAMES WHITE
IS SPEAKING OUT TONIGHT AMID A
RASH, A RASH OF SHOOTINGS THAT
HAVE BEEN TARGETING TEENAGERS
LAST FRIDAY. WE HAVE SEEN TWO
TEENAGERS SHOT NEAR THE DOWNTOWN
CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING ANOTHER
TWO SHOT OUTSIDE OF HENRY FORD
HIGH SCHOOL, AND THEN THIS
WEEKEND, THREE TEENS WERE SHOWN
OUTSIDE OF A BIRTHDAY PARTY AND
YESTERDAY A 15 YEAR OLD WAS
FATALLY SHOT IN WHAT POLICE ARE
CALLING AN ACCIDENT. PRIYA MANN
LIVE ON MARK TWAIN STREET ON THE
WEST SIDE WHERE THAT LATEST
SHOOTING HAPPENED, PRIYA. KAREN
GOOD EVENING TO 16 YEAR OLDS
PLAYING WITH A GUN INSIDE A HOME
HERE ON MARK TWAIN NEAR
MCNICHOLS. WE’RE PLAYING WITH A
GUN INSIDE A HOME UNSUPERVISED.
THEY WERE ALONE AROUND FIVE IN
THE MORNING. SUNDAY MORNING.
THAT GUN GOES OFF, HITTING ONE
TEEN IN THE HAND KILLING THE
OTHER THIS SENSELESS DEATH AND,
FORTUNATELY ISN’T AN ISOLATED
CASE. A STRING OF DEADLY
SHOOTINGS IN DETROIT SINCE
THANKSGIVING CHIEF WHITE
ANNOUNCING THE ARREST OF JAMES
MASSEY KELLY, THE GAS STATION
WORKER CHARGED WITH MURDER AFTER
ALLEGEDLY KILLING A CUSTOMER ON
THANKSGIVING. WHAT WE NEED IS
BETTER DECISION MAKING, YOU KNOW
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME WHEN
PEOPLE ARE USING GUNS TO RESOLVE
RELATIVELY SIMPLE DISPUTES.
DETECTIVES ARE LOOKING FOR THIS
MAN AFTER A VICTIM WAS SHOT AND
KILLED FOLLOWING AN ARGUMENT
OVER AN ELEVATOR, THE ONE AT THE
PARTY. ON 400. MONROE WAS JUST
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. SOMEONE
WOULDN’T HOLD IT ELEVATOR DOOR
AND ULTIMATELY WAS SHOT. SEVERAL
TEAMS HAVE BEEN INJURED AND
KILLED IN SEPARATE SHOOTINGS ON
SATURDAY TO 15 YEAR OLDS AND A
17 YEAR OLD WERE SHOT, LEAVING A
SWEET 16 PARTY. NONE OF THE KIDS
THAT WE HAVE INTERVIEWED THUS
FAR, UH, ATTENDED DETROIT PUBLIC
SCHOOLS, AND THEY WERE FROM
SUBURBAN SCHOOLS. SO WE’RE
LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME
TYPE OF CONFLICT. THE TEENS WERE
SHOT BY SOMEONE ACROSS THE ROAD
FROM EXQUISITE EVENTS IN DETROIT
. WE WON’T HESITATE TO SHUT
THESE BUSINESSES DOWN AND I COME
TO OUR COMMUNITIES, MAKE THE
MONEY AND LEAVE, AND THEN THEY
PUT OUR COMMUNITY AT RISK. WE’RE
NOT GOING TO TOLERATE THAT WE
WILL GO IN AND WE WILL SHUT
THOSE BUSINESSES DOWN. AND IN
THAT CASE, CHIEF WHITE SAYS HE
IS WORKING WITH SUBURBAN
PARTNERS. WE HOPE TO HAVE MORE
INFORMATION ON THE INVESTIGATION
THAT INJURED THOSE THREE TEENS.
MEANWHILE THERE IS A HOMICIDE
INVESTIGATION HERE INVOLVING AN
18 YEAR OLD. THIS HAPPENED IN
THE 9200 BLOCK OF BURT ROAD ON
SATURDAY, AND 18 YEAR OLD WAS
FOUND DEAD INSIDE OF A HOME.
POLICE BELIEVE THAT THAT KILLING
MAY HAVE BEEN SPARKED BY A DOG
THAT WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE STOLEN
. THERE WAS SOME SORT OF
ARGUMENT AND THAT 18 YEAR OLD
ENDED UP DEAD. THEY HAVE NO ONE
INFORMATION ON THAT CASE,
THEY’RE ASKING FOR THE PUBLIC’S
HELP. AND OF COURSE WHEN YOU
HAVE A STRING OF DEADLY SHOOTING
SINCE THANKSGIVING, CHIEF WHITE
IS SOUNDING THE ALARM, SAYING
PEOPLE NEED TO MAKE BETTER
DECISIONS REPORTING LIVE ON THE
WEST SIDE. I’M PRIYA MANN LOCAL
4. THIS IS HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE,
SO YES. BETTER DECISIONS.
TEENAGERS. THIS THANK YOU,
PRIYA. JUST MAKES NO SENSE. UM,
IF YOU DRIVE DOWN, I 94 MACOMB
COUNTY NEW CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
COULD ACTUALLY CAUSE SOME
BACKUPS FOR WEEKS. IT STARTED
THIS MORNING NUMBER OF SPOTS ON
I 94 BETWEEN 6 96 AND 12. MILES
SKY. FOUR OVER THAT AREA, YOU
WILL FIND LANE CLOSURES ON 6 96
ON THE RAMPS IN THE WESTBOUND
LANES OF I 94 MARTIN RODE THE 12
MILE RAMP. TO WEST BEND, 9 94
THAT WILL ALSO BE SHUT DOWN
BECAUSE CREWS ARE REPAIRING THE
MARTIN ROAD BRIDGE. CONSTRUCTION

UP THIS WEEK. GAS PRICES
CONTINUE TO DROP IN METRO
DETROIT, TRIPLE A SAYS WE’RE NOW
PAYING AN AVERAGE OF 3 46 A
GALLON 19 CENTS LESS THAN LAST
WEEK, THOUGH STILL 10 CENTS MORE
A GALLON THIS TIME LAST YEAR,
THE AVERAGE PHILIP WILL COST
ABOUT $54 RIGHT NOW TO FILL UP
YOUR TANK. THE BIG 10 IS ISSUED
ITS LARGEST FINE EVER OVER THAT
TUNNEL BRAWL AFTER THE MICHIGAN
MICHIGAN STATE GAME CONFERENCE
FINDING MICHIGAN STATE $100,000
FOR THE FIGHT AT MICHIGAN
STADIUM. BIG 10, ALSO EXTENDING
THE SUSPENSION OF RED SHIRT
SOPHOMORE KARI CRUMP OF MSU BY
EIGHT GAMES LAST WEEK, HE WILL
RECALL HE WAS CHARGED WITH
ASSAULT. BIG 10 ALSO REPRIMANDED
THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN,
SAYING IT DID NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR THE
TEAMS LEAVING THE FIELD
CONFERENCE SAYS NEITHER TEAM
REPRESENTED THE LEVEL OF
SPORTSMANSHIP THAT’S EXPECTED
FROM BIG 10 MEMBER SCHOOLS. ALL
RIGHT NOW TO THE ACTION ON THE
FIELD. WE PREFER THAT AND IT’S A
BIG WIN THAT HAS MICHIGAN FANS
REALLY SMILING ALL WEEKEND AND
TODAY, BERNIE IS BACK FROM
COLUMBUS WITH THAT 45 TO 23 WIN
, ARE YOU? I THINK EVERYONE IS
REALLY SURPRISED. LITTLE TIME
DONE. I’M DOWN THERE ON THE
FIELD, WAS IT? YEAH IT WAS. IT
WAS REALLY INTERESTING. LET ME
SAY THIS. IT’S BETTER THAN IT’S
BEEN IN THE PAST. I UNDERSTAND
BY THE WAY THAT CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME IS THIS SATURDAY IN
INDIANAPOLIS, EIGHT O’CLOCK
START MICHIGAN FAIR BY 16.5
HOUR, PURDUE. BUT LAST SATURDAY
, BEATING OHIO STATE IN
COLUMBUS, HUGE MICHIGAN HAS THE
ONE THERE IN 22 YEARS. WE’VE GOT
HIGHLIGHTS. MICHIGAN QUARTERBACK
J. J MCCARTHY WAS TERRIFIC, AND
HE WAVED BY THE CROWD AT OHIO
STADIUM. AND HERE’S DONOVAN
EDWARDS WAVING ABITA EVERYONE
WHAT AN ENJOYABLE DAY IT WAS
TODAY, JIM HARBAUGH SAID
SATURDAY’S ATMOSPHERE IN
COLUMBUS REMINDED HIM OF ONE
THING. LEVEL OF DETAIL. UM YOU
KNOW IT WAS. HE WAS SUPER BOWL
LIKE AND, UM WE UNDERSTAND THIS.
THIS IS THIS IS LIKE HAVING A
SUPER BOWL EVERY YEAR. WHEN
YOU’RE IN MICHIGAN, YOU GET TO
GET TO PLAY IN THE SUPER BOWL
EVERY SINGLE YEAR. AND IT WAS
TREATED BY LIKE AS SUCH, LIKE
THAT TO THE ATMOSPHERE THERE AND
OHIO STADIUM, MICHIGAN AND
PRODUCED BY THE WAY, DID NOT
FACE EACH OTHER DURING THE
REGULAR SEASON. BUT THE FACT
MICHIGANNATIVE BY 16.5 TELLS YOU
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE
VEGAS KNOWS ALL I DON’T IMAGINE
WE’RE SEEING A LET UP. IT JUST
DOESN’T FEEL LIKE A LETDOWN GAME
WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT THE
BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP, RIGHT, SO
BUSINESS LIKE TO ME AND TALKING
TO THE PLAYERS AND EVERYTHING
THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS NICE, AND
WE WON THIS, BUT NOW WE’VE GOT
