LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. AND WE’RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH THE
LOCAL FORECASTERS TRACKING A
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT OVERNIGHT
WITH A LINE OF STORMS HEADED OUR
WAY. GLAD YOU’RE WITH US AT 11.
SO FAR, THE STORMS LARGELY HAVE
MISSED US, THOUGH. THAT DOESN’T
MEAN WE’RE IN THE CLEAR, BUT
LET’S GET RIGHT ON OVER TO PAUL,
WHO’S BEEN TRACKING THESE STORMS
ALL NIGHT, PAUL YES, AND THERE’S
NOT A WHOLE LOT GOING ON IN THE
AREA. RIGHT NOW. WE HAVE A FEW
LIGHT RAIN DROPS AROUND BUT YOU
START HEADING BACK TO THE WEST.
YOU START TO SEE SOME
INTERESTING ACTIVITY NOW, HERE
IN LIVINGSTON COUNTY HERE EVERY
DAY YOU GOT A LITTLE JUST A
LITTLE THUNDERSHOWER. HERE YOU
SEE JUST A COUPLE OF LIGHTNING
STRIKES BUT THEN BACK FARTHER TO
THE NORTHWEST AREA. LET’S JUST
WIDE IT ALL OF IT. YOU GET A
LITTLE BETTER PERSPECTIVE. YOU
CAN SEE THAT WE HAVE THIS LINE
OF STORMS NOW WHAT’S CONCERNING
TO ME? FIRST OF ALL, THERE’S NO
SEVERE WEATHER WITH IT RIGHT
NOW. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS IN
EFFECT, ALTHOUGH THIS PINK AREA
HERE THAT IS ALL A SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WATCH, BUT ALL OF
THIS IS MOVING, BASICALLY IN
THIS DIRECTION, SO THAT MEANS
THAT IF YOU WERE IN THE LINE
HERE, YOU’RE GETTING REPEATED
BATCHES OF TORRENTIAL RAIN. SO
THAT PRODUCES A FLOODING THREAT
, SO WE’RE GONNA BE WATCHING
THAT ASPECT OF THINGS AS WELL AS
WE WATCH THIS STUFF MOVE TOWARD
THE AREA, SO THE STORM
PREDICTION CENTER HAS BEEN VERY
CONSISTENT WITH ASSESSING THE
RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND
INCREASES THE FARTHER SOUTHWEST
. YOU GET IN THE AREA, SO
BASICALLY OUR SOUTH ZONE, YOU’RE
AT THE HIGHEST RISK. THEN YOU
GET INTO A WAYNE COUNTY, MOST OF
WASHINGTON, SOUTH WEST OAKLAND
COUNTY, LIVINGSTON COUNTY.
THAT’S A SLIGHT RISK AND EVEN
LESS OF A RISK. FARTHER TO THE
NORTH, AS FAR AS THE THREATS
OVERNIGHT, ISOLATED WIND GUST IF
THIS THING COMES TOGETHER LIKE
IT POTENTIALLY COULD VERY, VERY
STRONG WIND GUSTS, BUT HAIL AND
PERHAPS FLOODING IS DEFINITELY A
POSSIBILITY. AND THEN WE CANNOT
RULE OUT A TORNADO. ALTHOUGH
THAT’S VERY UNLIKELY. AT THIS
POINT, I’LL BE BACK WITH MORE
COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES,
GUYS WITH THAT SEVERE WEATHER
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT WAKE UP TO
LOCAL 4 NEWS TODAY. FOR WEATHER
AND TRAFFIC UPDATES. THEY GET
STARTED AT 4:30 A.M. TO BREAKING
NEWS FROM DETROIT’S EAST SIDE
WITH MORE THAN A DOZEN SHOTS
FIRED INTO A CROWD OUTSIDE
ASCENSION. ST JOHN HOSPITAL IS
NOW CONNECTING THE SHOOTING AT
THE HOSPITAL TO ANOTHER SHOOTING
THAT HAPPENED ON I 94
JASON COLTHORPE IS LIVE TONIGHT.
JASON, WE HAVE TWO VICTIMS HERE.
YEAH AND KIM SECOND VICTIM WAS
SHOT RIGHT OUTSIDE THE ER HERE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF POLICE
OFFICERS. LET ME JUST SET THE
STAGE HERE IS STATE POLICE TRY
AND PIECE TOGETHER THIS
INVESTIGATION. THEY’VE TAKEN IT
OVER FROM DETROIT. NOW THEY
BELIEVE THIS STARTED AS A
FREEWAY SHOOTING ON I 94 THEY
THINK WHOEVER DID THE SHOOTING
IN THAT FOLLOWED THE VICTIM HERE
TO ST JOHN IN AN EFFORT TO
BELIEVE, POSSIBLY FINISH THE
JOB. A WILD AND DANGEROUS
ENCOUNTER BEGAN ON I 94 WHEN
SHOTS WERE FIRED BETWEEN TWO
POSSIBLY THREE VEHICLES AROUND 5
45 1 PERSON WAS HIT. AND WENT TO
ASCENSION ST JOHN HOSPITAL AS A
GROUP OF THE VICTIM’S FAMILY
GATHERED OUTSIDE THE E R DETROIT
POLICE SAY ABOUT 6 20 IS WHEN
THIS BLACK EQUINOX AND THIS
WHITE IMPALA MET UP IN THE
HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE. BEFORE
EMERGING MOMENTS LATER, THEY SAY
SOMEONE IN THE BACK OF THE
EQUINOX FIRED SEVERAL SHOTS WITH
POLICE RIGHT THERE ON THE SCENE
AND THEN DROVE OFF. YOU WOULD
NEVER EXPECT THIS TO HAPPEN AT
THE HOSPITAL. AMONG THE PATIENTS
IN THE ER WERE FOUR YOUNG PEOPLE
FROM DETROIT PUBLIC TV, WHO WERE
TAKEN THERE BY AMBULANCE AFTER
THEIR OWN ACCIDENT WITH A MACK
TRUCK ON I 94 THEY AND ANOTHER
PATIENT, DAVON MORROW DESCRIBED
WHAT HAPPENED. WE SEE A GUY
DRIVE UP. SEEN A GUY IN HIS SON
STANDING BY THE WINDOW, STICK
HIS HAND OUT THE WINDOW. FIRE
ABOUT 50 BACK 15 20 SHOTS.
EVERYBODY STARTED JUMPING AROUND
ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE GUNSHOTS
WERE EVERYWHERE. BY THEN. WE
PLAYING ON THE GROUND. I MEAN,
CAUSES YOU CAN HEAR HIM HITTING
THE GLASS. IT WAS LIKE AUTOMATIC
TYPE OF WEAPON. WITH RAPID
BULLETS. IT WAS LIKE POP POP POP
POP POP. JUST ST JOHN SPENT
MONEY ON GLASS BECAUSE THEY
DIDN’T GO THROUGH. HE JUMPED OUT
THE WHEELCHAIR ON THE FLOOR.
LIKE LIKE IF YOU GET SHOT AT THE
HOSPITAL. TIME TO GO, I CAME IN
BECAUSE OF HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE,
AND IT JUST HAPPENED, MAN. I’M
COOL RIGHT NOW, MAN. A LOT OF
PATIENTS JUST LEAVING THE ER.
AND WE CAN’T CONFIRM THAT IS
BULLETPROOF GLASS THEY HAVE BACK
THERE. THANKFULLY NOW WE DID SEE
A DODGE CHARGER. NOT THAT LONG
AGO GET TOWED OUT OF HERE. WE
BELIEVE THAT’S THE VICTIM’S
VEHICLE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN.
AH, THE FREEWAY SHOOTING AND
THEN CAME HERE. AS FOR THE TWO
VICTIMS WERE TOLD. BOTH ARE
STABLE. THE SECOND MAN BELIEVED
TO BE THE FATHER OF THE VICTIM.
HE WAS SHOT IN THE ANKLE. THE
ONE STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE E.
R. WE’LL KEEP AN EYE ON THEIR
CONDITIONS AS WELL. FOR NOW, KIM
BACK TO YOU, JASON. WHAT ABOUT
THE HOSPITAL? THERE WAS A BACK
OPEN. IT IS. IN FACT, WE GOT A
STATEMENT FROM THE HOSPITAL THAT
SAID PATIENT CARE WAS
UNINTERRUPTED. HOWEVER SEVERAL
PEOPLE WERE TURNED AWAY AS THEY
WERE INVESTIGATING THIS THAT
THEY COULDN’T GET INTO THE
HOSPITAL. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU
HEARD FROM THE PEOPLE IN THAT
STORY THAT JUST FLAT OUT LEFT
THE HOSPITAL SO I THINK THEY
WOULD TAKE ISSUE WITH THAT A
LITTLE BIT BACK TO YOU. ALL
RIGHT, JASON. THANK YOU. DEVIN
BLACK SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE
ROOF OF THE SOMERSET COLLECTION
. IT COULD BE SEEN FOR MILES
DURING RUSH HOUR. TRAFFIC TURNS
OUT A KITCHEN FIRE AT THE
CAPITAL GRILLE IS TO BLAME MARK
MACDONALD LIVE IN TROY TONIGHT.
TROY FIRE GOT ON TOP OF THAT
REALLY QUICKLY, AND THAT MADE A
HUGE DIFFERENCE HERE, MARA DEVON
. THEY SURE DID. AND LET ME SHOW
YOU SOMETHING. NUMBER ONE. WE’RE
ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AWAY. SOME FROM
SOMERSET. IT’S RIGHT THERE. BUT
LOOK AT WHAT’S RIGHT HERE. TROY
FIRE STATION NUMBER THREE THEY
HAD ABOUT 60 TO 70 FIREFIGHTERS
OUT THERE. IT MADE A DIFFERENCE.
A CLOUD OF SMOKE WAS POURING OUT
OF THE ROOF AND STARTED FILLING
THE INSIDE OF THE MALL, BURNING
EVERYBODY, WHAT’S GOING ON?
WHAT’S GOING ON OUT HERE? SO
THEN I’M SEEING MORE SMOKE. AND
I’M LIKE, OKAY, I NEED TO GET
EVERYBODY OUT OF HERE LIKE
EVERYBODY. PLEASE GET OUT OF THE
STORE NOW. UPSTAIRS IN THE THIRD
FLOOR FOOD COURT, THE SMOKE WAS
FAR MORE PRONOUNCED. IT LOOKED
LIKE IT WAS JUST A LOT OF SMOKE
, AND IT DIDN’T LOOK LIKE THEY
WERE COOKING OR SOMETHING LIKE
IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING WAS ON
FIRE. CUSTOMERS STARTED RUNNING.
IT WAS LIKE A FREAK OUT YET LIKE
WHAT IS THAT? LET’S LET’S RUN
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION ITSELF
STARTED IN THE KITCHEN OF THE
CAPITAL GRILL. WE BELIEVE THAT
THROUGH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM OF
THE KITCHEN, IT GOT BROUGHT UP.
THE FIRE GOT EXTENDED UP TO THE
ROOF. SO YOU HAD FIREFIGHTERS
SWARMING THE INSIDE OF THE
RESTAURANT AND ON TOP OF THE
ROOF, ATTACKING IT FROM BOTH
ENDS. ONCE WE FIGURE OUT THE
SITUATION, WE WERE ABLE TO
SUPPRESS IT WITH OUR HOSE LINES.
UM YOU KNOW, WE WERE ABLE TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE EXTENDED ALL
THE WAY THROUGH. WE CHECKED ON
EACH LEVEL THE MOMENT SHE
WOULDN’T HAVE EXTENSION ANY
OTHER PORTIONS. LUCKILY WE DON’T
HAVE ANY OTHER FIRE DAMAGE TO
THE OTHER AREAS OF THE MALL, BUT
THERE WAS SOME WATER DAMAGE TO
SMOKE DAMAGE. PECKED YOUR LIVE
NO INJURIES WHATSOEVER AND
EXPECT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE
MALL TO BE OPEN TOMORROW. JUST
NOT THE CAPITAL GRILL. WE’RE
LIVE IN TROY TONIGHT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD LOCAL 4. OKAY MAURA
AND WARREN POLICE SAY A MAN HURT
IN A HOUSE EXPLOSION WAS ON A
FEDERAL WATCH LIST AND HAS
POSSIBLE LINKS TO DOMESTIC
TERRORISM. THE 38 YEAR OLD MAN
LOST A HAND DOES HE HANDLED AN
EXPLOSIVE AT A HOME ON GETTING
HER NEAR EIGHT MILE AND HES ON
SATURDAY? YOU SEE, THE GARAGE
WAS DESTROYED. SOME WINDOWS ARE
BROKEN, POLICE SAY INVESTIGATORS
FOUND SEVERAL SMALL EXPLOSIVE
DEVICES. GUNS AND 4000 ROUNDS OF
AMMUNITION. THEY SAID IT WAS
ENOUGH TO BLOW UP THE ENTIRE
BLOCK. THAT’S CRAZY. I DON’T
KNOW WHAT HE WOULD BE DOING WITH
ALL THAT. EMMA IS LIKE TRYING TO
GO TO WAR OR SOMETHING. I DON’T
THINK THEY NEIGHBORS KNEW THAT
THIS PERSON WAS THAT DANGEROUS
THAT THEY WERE LIVING REALLY,
QUITE FRANKLY. NEXT TO A TIME
BOMB WAS JUST READY TO GO OUT.
RIGHT NOW. THE MAN REMAINS IN
THE HOSPITAL, 2ND AND 3RD DEGREE
BURNS ON MORE THAN HALF OF HIS
BODY. SO FAR, NO CHARGES HAVE
BEEN FILED A TWO OF THE JANUARY
6TH COMMITTEE HEARINGS FOCUSED
TODAY ON ESTABLISHING WHAT IT
DESCRIBES AS THE BIG LIE. VIDEO
TESTIMONY WAS PLAYED FROM
WILLIAM BARR, WHO SERVED AS
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S ATTORNEY
GENERAL UNTIL HE RESIGNED. BAR
TESTIFIED THAT HE TOLD THE
PRESIDENT THERE WAS NO FRAUD IN
DETROIT. PEOPLE SAW BOXES COMING
INTO THE COUNTING STATION AT ALL
HOURS OF THE MORNING AND SO
FORTH, AND I EXPLAINED TO HIM
THAT I THAT POINT. I KNEW THE
EXACT NUMBER OF PRECINCTS IN
DETROIT. I THINK IT WAS 630
SOMETHING I SAID MR PRESIDENT.
THERE ARE 630 PRECINCTS IN
DETROIT AND UNLIKE ELSEWHERE IN
THE STATE. THEY CENTRALIZED THE
COUNTING PROCESS, SO THEY’RE NOT
COUNTED IN EACH PRECINCT AND
MOVED TO COUNTING STATIONS. AND
SO THE NORMAL PROCESS WOULD
INVOLVE BOXES COMING IN AT ALL
DIFFERENT HOURS, SO THERE’S
NOTHING AND I SHOULD HAVE. DID
ANYONE POINT OUT TO YOU DID ALL
THE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT
POINT OUT TO YOU? YOU ACTUALLY
DID BETTER IN DETROIT, THEN YOU
DID YOU DID LAST TIME. I MEAN,
THERE’S NO INDICATION OF FRAUD
IN DETROIT. COMMITTEE IS TRYING
TO PROVE FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
PUSHED A FALSE NARRATIVE TO
REMAIN IN OFFICE AND CONVINCED
HIS FOLLOWERS THEY MUST FIGHT TO
KEEP HIM THERE. THE NEXT HEARING
WILL BE WEDNESDAY AT 10 AM A LOT
OF ATTENTION WILL BE ON WALL
STREET TOMORROW AFTER THE DOW
DROPPED NEARLY 900 POINTS TODAY
, NEW CONCERNS ABOUT INFLATION,
CAUSING HER POSSIBLE RECESSION
SENT THE MARKETS REELING. THE S
AND P 500 OFF MORE THAN 3%
DURING THE DAY CLOSED DOWN 150
POINTS, ENDING THE DAY IN BEAR
MARKET TERRITORY. AS IT’S OFF
MORE THAN 20% FROM ITS JANUARY
HIGH. MUCH OF THE SELLOFF
ATTRIBUTED TO INVESTOR CONCERNS
THAT THE FED IS GOING TO HAVE TO
CONTINUE TO RAISE INTEREST RATES
TO TRY TO COOL OFF INFLATION.
SHARES OF GENERAL MOTORS

SHARE SIGNIFICANT BECAUSE THAT

O THE FIRST TIME. GM SHARES HAVE
