HIMSELF. NEW INFORMATION TONIGHT

>> TONIGHT. WE HAVE LEARNED THE
CHILD’S FATHER IS A VETERAN
POLICE OFFICER IN DEARBORN.
SHAWN LEY JOINS US NOW LIVE. AND
SHAWN, YOU ARE GETTING REACTION
TONIGHT FROM HIS POLICE
DEPARTMENT.
>> LET’S TALK ABOUT DEARBORN
POLICE AND WHAT THEY CAN AND
CANNOT SAY TONIGHT. THIS IS NOT
A DEARBORN POLICE CASE. THIS
HAPPENED AT A PRIVATE RESIDENCE.
THE FAMILY’S HOME IN HOWELL. THE
OFFICER THE DEPARTMENT IS SAYING
TONIGHT THEY RESPECT THEIR
OFFICER’S PRIVACY WHILE THIS
HORRIBLE EVENT IS UNFOLDING IN
THEIR FAMILY. AND THERE’S AN
INVESTIGATION GOING ON. THE
CHIEF DOES NOT WANT TO COMMENT
FURTHER TONIGHT. IT’S UNKNOWN
WHO WAS RESPONSE HOWELL FOR THAT
GUN IN THAT HOME IN A TRAGIC,
GUT WRENCHING EXAMPLE THAT THIS
CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE. LAST WEEK,
A BABY SHOT TWICE BY A SIBLING
WHO PICKED UP A LOADED HANDGUN
IN DETROIT. I’M TOLD THAT BABY
IS RECOVERING. THEN HEAD OUT TO
HOWELL LAST NIGHT, THE WORST
UNFOLDING FOR A FAMILY HERE.
HOWELL POLICE CONFIRMING SUNDAY
JUST AFTER SIX IN THE EVENING,
HOWELL POLICE AND LIVINGSTON
COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES RUSHED
TO A HOME HERE ON OAK SQUARE
LANE. THAT IS WHERE POLICE SAY A
TWO AND A HALF YEAR OLD CHILD
HAD GAINED ACCESS TO AN
UNSECURED FIREARM THAT RESULTED
IN AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING. THE
CHILD WAS IMMEDIATELY
TRANSPORTED BY EMS TO A LOCAL
HOSPITAL AND WAS LATER
PRONOUNCED DECEASED. BUT THERE’S
MORE NOTICE THE POLICE POSTERS
IN THE GARAGE, THE HOWELL HOME.
THIS TRAGEDY HAS STRUCK THE
FAMILY OF A METRO DETROIT POLICE
OFFICER. WE ARE TOLD THE FATHER
OF THE CHILD WHO PICKED UP AN
UNSECURED LOADED HANDGUN
RESULTING IN THAT CHILD’S DEATH
IS A VETERAN DEARBORN POLICE
OFFICER, CORPORAL DAVID LACY.
DEARBORN POLICE CALLING THIS A
PERSONAL FAMILY MATTER. IF AN
OFFICER NEEDS TIME AWAY, THEY
GET THAT TIME. AND IF CHARGES
ARE FILED IN THIS CASE, THE
DEPARTMENT WILL THEN REVIEW THE
CORPORAL’S JOB STATUS. BACK HERE
LIVE, LET’S MAKE IT CLEAR NO
CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED. THIS IS
JUST ALL UNFOLDING FROM 6:00
LAST NIGHT INTO TODAY. HOW
POLICE ALSO NOT SAYING ANYTHING
MORE THAN WHAT THEY PUT OUT LAST
NIGHT IN THEIR STATEMENT, AGAIN,
FROM DEARBORN POLICE. THEY’RE
CALLING THIS, OF COURSE, A
PERSONAL FAMILY MATTER. THEY
WANT THE OFFICER TO TAKE CARE OF
HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY AT THIS
TIME. WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT. SHAWN
LEY, LOCAL 4.

OFFICER’S GUN, WHICH STARTS A
WRESTLING MATCH WITH THE
OFFICER. POLICE SAY THE TWO
SUSPECTS ARE JUVENILES AND THEY

SOUTHFIELD. CHIEF WHITE TELLING
US THAT THIS BRAZEN ATTACK ISN’T
GOING TO CHANGE HOW POLICING IS
DONE IN THE CITY. IT’S
UNJUSTIFIED.
>> IT’S ILLOGICAL. AND THESE TWO
YOUNG MEN MADE A HORRIBLE
DECISION. AND, YOU KNOW, WE’RE
GOING TO CONTINUE TO POLICE
THESE STREETS CONSTITUTIONALLY.
ANYBODY THAT VIOLATES THE LAW,
YOU KNOW, WE’VE BEEN VERY CLEAR
ABOUT WE’RE NOT GOING TO
APOLOGIZE FOR LOCKING FOLKS UP
THAT ARE CARRYING GUNS AND
HURTING FOLKS. AND OUR OFFICERS
DO AN AMAZING JOB AT DOING THAT

FOUND THE WEAPON THAT ONE OF THE
SUSPECTS WAS SEEN HOLDING IN THE
VIDEO. THE MOTIVE FOR THE ATTACK
IS STILL UNKNOWN RIGHT NOW.

HELP IN ITS INVESTIGATION INTO
THIS MAN. HE’S A WELL KNOWN
