TROY LOCAL 4 NEWS AT NOON STARTS NOW. MICHIGAN STATE STUDENTS BACK IN CLASS ONE WEEK AFTER THE
SHOOTING THAT KILLED THREE
STUDENTS AND SENT FIVE OTHERS TO
THE HOSPITAL. THE UNIVERSITY
SAYS, COMING BACK TOGETHER AS AN
IMPORTANT STEP IN THE HEALING
PROCESS, BUT THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS WERE PUSHING THE
UNIVERSITY TO OFFER A VIRTUAL
OPTIONS, SAYING IT’S JUST TOO
SOON TO RETURN. MALONEY IS LIVE
IN EAST LANSING FOR US THIS NEW
ROD, WHAT’S THE FEELING YOU’RE
GETTING THERE TODAY? WELL IT’S
KIND OF A TALE OF TWO SECTIONS
OF THE CAMPUS HERE, JASON, WE’RE
RIGHT HERE OUT IN FRONT OF THE
UNION, AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
NORMAL CAMPUS LIFE IS STARTING
TO RESUME. AND THEN IF YOU MOVE
TO OUR LEFT CAMERA LEFT HERE,
YOU CAN SEE A MASSIVE CROWD HERE
. YOU’VE GOT A YOUNG WOMAN HERE
WHO IS DRAWING ON THE SIDEWALK.
THEY’VE PROVIDED SIDEWALK CHALK
. THERE ARE MOMS WHO HAVE BEEN
OUT HERE WITH DOGS AND MOMS
GIVING HUGS AND FREE FOOD AND
YOU’RE SEEING HUNDREDS UPON
HUNDREDS OF STUDENTS. GATHERING
HERE, PICKING UP A FEW SUNDRIES
IN THE LIKE AND TALKING TO EACH
OTHER AND TO THE MOMS, AND IT’S
A REAL COLLEGIAL ATMOSPHERE
HERE. VERY HAPPY HERE. WE WERE
OVER AT SPARTY STATUE A LITTLE
WHILE AGO THAT HAS BECOME MORE
OF A MEMORIAL AND MUCH MORE
SOMBER. AND SO WE’RE SEEING A
KIND OF A APPREHENSION ALMOST ON
SOME PART OF DIPPING THEIR TOES
BACK INTO THE COLLEGE LIFE. AND
YET WE’RE FINDING THAT ALL OF
THOSE THAT WE SPOKE WITH TODAY
ARE FEELING GLAD THAT THEY WERE
HERE. THEY WERE NERVOUS ABOUT
IT, BUT THEY’RE GLAD TO BE BACK.
SO LET’S HEAR FROM A COUPLE OF
THE STUDENTS THAT WE SPOKE
WITHIN THE LAST HOUR OR SO. TO
GET THEIR THOUGHTS. WERE YOU
APPREHENSIVE AT ALL? I REALLY
WAS, UM. YOU KNOW, I NEVER
THOUGHT I’D BE PUT IN A
SITUATION WHERE LIKE ACTIVE
SHOOTER WILL BE ON CAMPUS. SO I
WAS KIND OF LIKE, DO I WANT TO
COME BACK? BUT THEY MADE IT
REALLY EASY FOR US. THEY SAID.
WE HAD ONLINE OPTIONS. THEY’RE
DOING CREDIT. NO CREDIT AND LIKE
MY FRIENDS ARE UP HERE, SO I
FEEL SAFE WITH THEM. I WANT TO
FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES, BUT ALSO
TRYING TO TAKE THAT TIME TO LIKE
, GRIEVE AND FEEL THE FEELINGS
HAS BEEN PRETTY DIFFICULT, BUT
LIKE I SAID, I WANTED TO COME
OUT HERE TODAY AND JUST KIND OF
BE MYSELF SPACE FOR THAT AND SEE
ALL THE SIGNS THAT EVERYONE’S
LEFT OUT. YEAH THAT HANNAH, BY
THE WAY, THE VETERINARY STUDENT
THERE WAS OVER AT THIS PARTY
STATUTE. SHE WAS CHOKING UP AND
IN TEARS, AS WERE MOST OF THE
PEOPLE OVER THERE A LOT MORE
SMILING FACES OVER THIS WAY, BUT
IT LOOKS LIKE THEY’RE SORT OF
GETTING BACK TO LIFE HERE. THERE
ARE SIGNS THAT SHE MENTIONED BY
THE WAY ARE EVERYWHERE. THERE AT
THE GATE OF THE SCHOOL, THEY GO
ON FOR BLOCKS AS PEOPLE PUTTING
SIGNS THAT HAVE CONTINUING
MESSAGES ON THEM. AND THE LIKE.
WE SEE THAT WHEN THEY’RE
OFFERING MOM HUGS AND WELCOME
BACK IN THE LIKE SO THE
COMMUNITY HAS REALLY COME
TOGETHER HERE IN MANY DIFFERING
WAYS AS A WAY TO MAKE IT SO THAT
THESE STUDENTS CAN TRY AND GET
BACK TO SOMETHING. THAT
RESEMBLES NORMALCY. WE’LL
CERTAINLY HAVE MORE. WE’RE GOING
OVER TO THE CAPITAL NOW TO GO
OVER AND SEE THE PROTEST THAT
THEY’RE HAVING THEIR LOT OF
STUDENTS SAYING THAT THEY THINK
THAT THEY SHOULD SKIP CLASS AND
GO AND SEE IF THEY CAN GET MORE
GUN LAWS PASSED, AND SO WE’LL BE
HEADED THAT WAY HERE AND WE’LL
HAVE MORE ON THAT. SO COMING UP
AT 45 AND AGAIN AT SIX O’CLOCK,
SO FOR NOW, MALONEY LIVE FROM
MSU CAMPUS IN EAST LANSING.
ALRIGHT ROD. YEAH, IT ALMOST
SEEMS LIKE A WELCOME WEEK WITH
ALL THOSE FOLKS OUT THERE IN THE
SIGNS, PROBABLY A LOT WHAT THEY
NEEDED RIGHT NOW. WE APPRECIATE
IT, ROD. THE CONDITIONS ARE
IMPROVING FOR SOME OF THE FIVE
STUDENTS IN THE HOSPITAL. WITHIN
THE LAST HOUR, WE LEARNED ONE
STUDENT WAS UPGRADED TO FAIR
CONDITION TO STUDENTS REMAIN IN
SERIOUS CONDITION AND TWO ARE IN
CRITICAL CONDITION. SERVICES

NINE MILES IN EAST POINT.
FUNERAL SERVICES BEING HELD
TOMORROW MORNING AT 11 AT ZION

OVER THE WEEKEND. FUNERAL
SERVICES WERE HELD FOR BOTH

RIGHT NOW. THE GROUP MARCH FOR
OUR LIVES, IS JOINING LOCAL
LAWMAKERS, EDUCATION OFFICIALS
AND STUDENTS IN LANSING TO RALLY
FOR GUN CONTROL LEGISLATION ROD
ALLUDED TO THIS MOMENT AGO. THEY
SAY SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE IN
THE WAKE OF THE MICHIGAN STATE
SHOOTING AND THE OXFORD HIGH
SCHOOL SHOOTING FORMER OXFORD
TEACHER WHOSE BROTHER SURVIVED
THE SHOOTING TALKED A SHORT TIME
AGO. IT IS TIME TO SHAME AND TO
NAME THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST OUR
BEST. OUR CHILDREN. I WOULD DO
ANYTHING FOR MY BROTHER KEEGAN.
I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR MY 150
STUDENTS. I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO
BRING BACK TATE HANNAH, JUSTIN
MADISON, BRIAN AERIAL AND ALEX.
BUT REMORSE IS NOT ENOUGH. HOW
WILL YOU VOTE AND HOW WILL YOU
USE YOUR VOICE? A RALLY AT THE
STATE CAPITOL STARTS IN ABOUT AN
HOUR. WE WILL HAVE COMPLETE
COVERAGE IN OUR LATER NEWSCASTS
FROM THERE. IN OTHER NEWS, THIS
NEW EASTBOUND M 14 CLOSED RIGHT
NOW, BECAUSE AN AMAZON TRUCK IS
ON ITS SIDE. YOU CAN SEE IT
THERE. SKY FOUR WITH A BIRD’S
EYE VIEW OF IT AT SHELDON IN
PLYMOUTH TOWNSHIP. POLICE SAY
THE SEMI HIT THE OVERPASS AND
ROLLED ONTO ITS SIDE. IT’S
CAUSING HUGE BACKUPS IN THE
AREA. SO YOU SHOULD AVOID THAT
SPOT. IF YOU CAN. WE DON’T KNOW
IF ANYONE WAS HURT IN THIS OR
HOW LONG IT’S GOING TO TAKE THE
CLEANUP. PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN HAS
LEFT UKRAINE AFTER A SURPRISE
VISIT THERE TO MARK THE ONE YEAR
ANNIVERSARY OF RUSSIA’S INVASION
. IT’S UNPRECEDENTED FOR AN
AMERICAN PRESIDENT TO TRAVEL TO
AN ACTIVE WAR ZONE WITHOUT A
LARGE MILITARY PRESENCE AS BREE
JACKSON REPORTS FROM WASHINGTON.
IT WAS A SHORT BUT HISTORIC
TRIP. PRESIDENT BIDEN, MAKING A
SURPRISE TRIP TO UKRAINE AND
MEETING WITH UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT
ZELINSKY AND KIEV AS RUSSIA’S
WAR AGAINST THE COUNTRY NEAREST
THE ONE YEAR MARK ONE YEAR
LATER. KEY STANDS. AND UKRAINE
STANDS. DEMOCRACY STANDS. THE
AMERICANS STAND WITH YOU. THE
UNPRECEDENTED VISIT WAS MONTHS
IN THE MAKING, WITH DETAILS KEPT
VERY SECURE. AIR RAID SIRENS
SOUNDING DURING THE PRESIDENT’S
STAY. THE PRESIDENT, STOPPING AT
THE WALL OF REMEMBRANCE TO LAY A
WREATH MR BIDEN, NOTING HOW MUCH
UKRAINE HAS LOST IN THE WAR AND
ANNOUNCING MORE AID IS ON THE
WAY DEFENSE SYSTEMS. ALL
DEFENDED TO DEFEND UKRAINE AND
THAT DOESN’T COUNT. THE OTHER
HALF A BILLION DOLLARS WERE
GOING TO BE RENOUNCING WITH YOU
TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE VIOLENCE
RAGES ON. WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
SAY THEY HAVE DETERMINED RUSSIA
HAS COMMITTED WAR CRIMES. WE
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A
SYSTEMATIC, DELIBERATE EFFORT BY
THE KREMLIN. THE U. S. ALSO
WARNS THAT CHINA MAY BE
CONSIDERING PROVIDING LETHAL AID
TO RUSSIA. WE MAKE CLEAR TO THE
CHINESE THAT THERE WILL BE
CONSEQUENCES SHOULD THEY MAKE
THAT UNFORTUNATE DECISION, THE
BIONIC MINISTRATIONS, SENDING A
STRONG MESSAGE TO OTHER
COUNTRIES. IS THAT FREEDOM? THAT
IS PRICELESS. IT’S WORTH
FIGHTING FOR. AS LONG AS IT
TAKES. AND THAT’S HOW LONG WE’RE
GOING TO BE WITH YOU, MR
PRESIDENT. AS LONG AS IT TAKES.
AND PLEDGING UNWAVERING SUPPORT
FOR UKRAINE. AND WHILE DETAILS
OF THE PRESIDENT’S TRIP OR KEPT
UNDER TIGHT WRAPS, THE US DID
TELL THE KREMLIN ABOUT THE TRIP
HOURS BEFORE BEGAN, BUT WON’T
SAY WHAT THEIR RESPONSE WAS. AND

NO DAYS OFF, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
POTENTIAL WHETHER SYSTEM WHERE
STARING AT FOR THE FOUR ON THE

SO, REALLY, OUR EYES ARE ALREADY
LOOKING AHEAD TO WEDNESDAY WHERE
WE HAVE A VERY IMPACTFUL SYSTEM
HEADING OUR WAY. BUT FOR NOW,
WE’RE GOING TO ENJOY A LITTLE
BIT OF SUNSHINE OUT THERE AT
THIS NOON HOUR 42 DEGREES IN
DETROIT, 40 IN ANN ARBOR, CALM
WINDS, WHICH IS NICE CHANGE OF
PACE FROM YESTERDAY. HOW 39 WITH
A LIGHT NORTHWESTERLY BREEZE AND

WITH PARTLY SUNNY SKIES ACROSS
MUCH OF METRO DETROIT EXACT
TRACK 40 RADAR SHOWING THIS
CLIPPER TYPE OF SYSTEM THAT WILL
BRUSH THE NORTHERN EDGE. OF
LOWER MICHIGAN FOR TONIGHT, AND
AS WE HEAD INTO EARLY TOMORROW
MORNING, WE MAKE IT A LITTLE
WINTRY MIX OUT OF IT, BUT IT’S
GOING TO BE BRIEF, AND THAT’S
NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAVE
IN STORE FOR WEDNESDAY TODAY,
PARTLY SUNNY AND COOLER THAN
YESTERDAY, TAPPING OUT AT 43
DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON, SO ONLY
RISING A COUPLE DEGREES FROM
WHERE WE SIT RIGHT NOW, AND
THAT’S 10 DEGREES COOLER THAN
WHERE WE WERE YESTERDAY, BUT
THAT TEMPERATURE TREND HOLD ON.

TWENTY’S THAT IMPACTFUL SYSTEM

WEDNESDAY ARRIVES WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT’S
GOING TO LINGER INTO THE EARLY
PART OF THURSDAY, WHERE ICE
ACCUMULATION IS THE BIGGEST
THREAT. WE DEALT WITH ICE LAST
WEEK, AND THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT
COULD BE A BIGGER DEAL. WE’LL
HAVE MORE ON THAT COMING UP.
KIDS DON’T MAKE PLANS, BUT
THURSDAY COULD BE A SNOW DAY
JUST SAYING LET’S PLANT THE
SEED. NOW WE’RE BACK ON THE NOON
WITH THE PEOPLE LIVING NEAR A
TRAIN DERAILMENT IN OHIO WHO SAY
THEY ARE EXPERIENCING HEALTH
PROBLEMS NOW AFTER THE RELEASE

DONE TO MAKE SURE THEY’RE OKAY?
