to happen overnight but there is some
welcome news for families struggling to
find baby formula late today baby
formula maker abbott announced it has a
deal with regulators to resume
production at its plant in sturgis it's
the company's largest domestic facility
under the agreement the formula maker
will work with outside experts to
upgrade standards and reduce bacterial
contamination that shut down production
earlier this year in the first place
abbott says it will take at least eight
weeks after production to resume
shipping the formula eight weeks is a
very long time for families down to
their last supply our pamela osborne is
live in canton tonight with how some
families are getting some extra help to
find formula pamela
kimberly i spoke to a grandmother who
lives here in canton she's originally
from lebanon she said that she searched
all of the stores here in town searching
for baby formula for her grandson
couldn't find it here went to plymouth
and ann arbor found the same thing there
empty shelf something she tells me she
never expected to see here in this
country
really
i don't know what to say to you god
bless you gratitude and relief from
branda harani who has in hand the
formula her family needs to feed her
three-month-old grandson i went
everywhere as a mom who has formula fed
my own child it's it's heartbreaking to
think about going to the store and just
not having what your baby needs because
of doula's heather maine and kate nagle
she now has something we decided that we
were going to do whatever we could to
try and help get these kids fed right
there nagel and maine both moms
themselves put out a call on facebook
asking other mamas with unused formula
or forgotten about sample packs to leave
it on the front porch they'd do the rest
as soon as they pick up they're giving
it out to parents in need he called and
he said i have twins
and we have their nighttime bottles
and we don't have anything for the
morning with many shelves empty even the
most determined caregivers aren't having
any luck 28
different stores unsuccessfully help is
coming their way in all forms from
breastfeeding moms willing to pump extra
milk for babies in need to people who
aren't parents at all people just
willing to go out and like what do you
need i'll go find i'll go see if i can
find it right you know right now it's
going to take all of that and more to
keep babies fed i'm blown away at the
amount of just togetherness i've seen
and officials are warning parents
against making their own baby formula
they say that if you find yourself in
need you should try calling your
doctor's office maybe see if they have
some samples available you can also feel
free to reach out to those moms that we
spoke to tonight we put all of their
contact information on our website click
on detroit.com and if you're wondering
what it will cost you to get some of
their help absolutely nothing they are
doing this all for free reporting live
in canton tonight i'm pamela osborne
local four remarkable what they're doing
to pamela we appreciate that story
tonight devin well from one consumer
crisis to another with gas prices once
again reaching record highs
nationwide the average price per gallon
hit four dollars and fifty cents raising
new concerns that we could hit five
dollars a gallon this summer mark
mcdonnell live in midtown tonight with a
look at the prices we're seeing here at
home mara
hi devin when that announcement of those
450 national average gas prices hit you
saw gas stations around metro detroit
start lifting up their prices for
example here in midtown we're talking
anywhere between 479 to 489 a gallon for
regular unleaded
at 489 for regular unleaded with a 16
gallon tank you're looking at more than
78 dollars to fill up that's crazy that
people can't even get to their jobs
people can't get to their jobs how
they're supposed to feed their family
something needs to happen something's
not right gas buddy which tracks u.s
prices tweeted this out tonight the
average across the u.s is now 450 a
gallon for regular a record high like
anything if you shop around you can find
better prices this marathon in madison
heights under that 450 average tonight
but savvy customers were using it as a
stop gap until they could get to a
costco sams or bj's where club
memberships offer better gas deals i
just popped 20 dollars in just to put my
tank back to full because it's 120
dollars to fill this truck up the
reality of record high gas prices high
inflation and higher food prices is a
trifecta that for most of us is just not
sustainable the price of everything has
went up all the way
it's like i sit back and i talk to all
my friends and it's like you're like
dude we gotta refinance our house just
to be able to afford to go to work
back here live so what is behind the
price surge tonight markets are worried
about gas shortages and then you've got
a return to pre-pandemic level of demand
nothing going to change here anytime
soon we're live in midtown tonight i'm
mara mcdonald local 4. just a little
more than a dime away from five bucks a
gallon all right mara now also on the

investigators tonight still combing
through evidence linked to the man
accused of shooting and killing 10
people at a supermarket in buffalo
police believe the 18 year old suspect
pumped up on false and racist conspiracy
theories his plan to head down to the
street and shoot even more people
newly obtained video of accused buffalo
grocery store gunman peyton jindran as
he's taken into custody at the top
friendly market store on saturday
authorities say he had his sights set on
taking even more lives than he did so
there was evidence that was uncovered
that he had plans had he gotten out of
here to continue his rampage and
continue shooting people he'd even
spoken about possibly going to another
store he was going to get in his car and
continue to drive down jefferson avenue
and continue doing the same thing
unsettling new images of the alleged
shooter's rifles show writing on the
weapons including the phrase white lives
matter and what appears to be the name
of a victim of a crime committed by a
black suspect there were also details on
his obsession with mass killings if this
gentleman came here to hope hopefully to
divide our community he did the complete
opposite we are united like we've never
been before as investigators dig into
the shooter's history they're learning
he visited the buffalo area recently
we found some things that show that he
was here in early march and then again
we know that he was here on friday
basically doing a reconnaissance on the
area dark details uncovered reveal
gendron was visited last year by new
york state police after he turned in a
high school project about murder
suicides he stayed at a facility i'm not
sure if it was a hospital or a mental
health facility for a day and a half but
you know where were the red flags for
him to be able to purchase these guns
legally
and president biden and first lady jill
biden are set to visit buffalo tomorrow
they'll be meeting with families of the
victims first responders and community
leaders
