LIVE DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4
NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. REVERSING LIVE DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4
NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. REVERSING COURSE FROM JUST LAST WEEK. OXFORD SCHOOLS MOVING FORWARD
WITH AN INDEPENDENT
INVESTIGATION AFTER BACKLASH
FROM BOTH PARENTS AND STUDENTS,
ACTION NOW WE NEED ANSWERS. WE
NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT KID GOT TO
A CLASSROOM WITH A GUN. AND HOW
DOES IT NEVER HAPPENED AGAIN?
GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US TONIGHT
AT 11. THE SCHOOL BOARD TONIGHT,
HIRING TWO FIRMS TO CONDUCT AN
INVESTIGATION IN THE LAST
NOVEMBER’S DEADLY SHOOTING COMES
AFTER THE BOARD SAID LAST WEEK A
REVIEW WOULD BE DELAYED UNTIL
AFTER CRIMINAL AND CIVIL
LITIGATION WRAPPED UP SOMETHING
THAT COULD TAKE YEARS. PAMELA
OSBORNE IS LIVE TONIGHT WITH WHY
THE BOARD MADE THE DECISION TO
ACT NOW. AND IT WAS THE
COMMUNITY MEMBERS THAT REALLY
GAVE THEM A DIFFERENT
PERSPECTIVE. IN ALL OF THIS,
PARENTS AND STUDENTS, SPEAKING
UP TONIGHT, TALKING ABOUT A LOSS
OF TRUST HERE, AS WELL AS THE
NEED FOR ANSWERS NOW, NOT LATER.
WE UNDERSTAND THAT WAITING FOR
THE CIVIL AND CRIMINAL TRIALS TO
END FIRST DOES NOT SERVE THIS
COMMUNITY WELL SCHOOL BOARD
TUESDAY NIGHT VOTING TO HIRE AN
OUTSIDE FIRM TO DIG DEEPER INTO
THE NOVEMBER 30TH SHOOTING THAT
LEFT FOUR STUDENTS DEAD AND
SEVEN OTHERS INJURED. SOMETHING
WENT WRONG. SOMETHING WENT
WRONG. PEOPLE NEED TO BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE. THIS MAN, A FATHER
TO ONE OF THE SURVIVING VICTIMS
. YOU GUYS WERE NOTIFIED BY YOUR
STAFF. NOT ONCE. NOT TWICE BUT
ARGUABLY THREE TIMES, BUT WE
DON’T KNOW BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE
THAT INSIDER INFORMATION. AND HE
WAS SHOT ALONG WITH FOUR
CHILDREN WHO WON’T AREN’T HERE
AND A LOT OF OTHERS WHO WERE
INJURED AND WE’RE WE’RE SCARS
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE. SO
MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING STUDENTS
WHO LIVED AND RELIVED THAT DAY,
WANT ANSWERS. NOW TELL US TO
TRUST YOU. HOWEVER LAST TIME WE
BLINDLY TRUST YOU FOR STUDENTS
WERE MURDERED. MANY ASKED ALOUD
WHY THE BOARD WOULD WANT TO HIRE
A FIRM TO DO WITH THE AGGIE
OFFERED TO DO FOR FREE STANDING
OFFER FROM THE A G. YOU SHOULD
RECRUIT YOURSELF. YOU’RE TOO
CLOSE TO IT. SOME WONDERED IF
THE RESULTS OF THE REVIEW WHICH
THE BOARD INITIALLY PLANNED TO
DO AFTER CRIMINAL AND CIVIL
CASES, WRAPPED UP WOULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AT ALL. WE CAN SPEND
ALL THE MONEY ON ALL THE
RESOURCES BECAUSE OUR KIDS ARE
WORTH IT. BUT IF YOU WANT TO
TALK ABOUT PREVENTION, CHECK THE
BACKPACK EVERY SINGLE TIME. WE
CANNOT HAVE ADVANCED
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT PREVENTION
IF THERE IS NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND TOM DONNELLY, THE PRESIDENT
OF THE SCHOOL BOARD, SPOKE OUT
AFTER THOSE PUBLIC COMMENTS
TONIGHT. HE APOLOGIZED THAT IT
HAS TAKEN THIS LONG, ADDING.
THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY
THEY ARE HIRING THIS FIRM. SO
THERE IS ANOTHER VOICE HERE. I
SHOULD ALSO MENTION THE BOARD
VOTED IN FAVOR OF A PERMANENT
MEMORIAL FOR THE STUDENTS THAT
WERE KILLED IN THAT SHOOTING,
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT AND
PAMELA OSBORNE LOCAL FLOOR.
OKAY, PAM, THANKS. AFTER A
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION ISSUED
TODAY. MICHIGAN’S 1931 LAW
CRIMINALIZING ABORTION WOULD NOT
GO INTO EFFECT IF THE SUPREME
COURT OVERTURNS ROE VERSUS WADE
TONIGHT, LAWYERS FOR RIGHT TO
LIFE MICHIGAN THAT’S A ROGUE
DECISION BY THE MICHIGAN COURT
OF CLAIMS AND THEY’RE VOWING
LITIGATION. MARA MACDONALD LIVE
DOWNTOWN TONIGHT, MARA IN THE
JUDGE’S OPINION, SHE FINDS THAT
PLANNED PARENTHOOD WOULD LIKELY
BE SUCCESSFUL. IN THEIR CASE
CHALLENGING THAT LAW. DEVON
THAT’S RIGHT, WHICH IS WHY SHE
GRANTED THIS PRELIMINARY
INJUNCTION WHICH WILL REMAIN IN
PLACE WHILE THIS LAWSUIT MAKES
IT WAY THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM.
A MICHIGAN COURT OF CLAIMS JUDGE
MAKING THAT RULING LATE TODAY IN
THE JUDGE ELIZABETH GLACIER IS
THE TARGET OF CRITICISM FROM
ATTORNEYS FOR RIGHT TO LIFE EVEN
MORE EXTRAORDINARY, THE SAME
JUDGE NEXT ANNUAL CONTRIBUTIONS
TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND, IN
EFFECT, INDIRECTLY SUBSIDIZING
THE VERY LITIGATION WHICH SHE IS
NOW DECIDING. PLANNED PARENTHOOD
IS ARGUING THAT 1931 LAW IS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL. IT
CRIMINALIZES ABORTION. WE FILED
THIS LAWSUIT ON APRIL 7TH. AND
ASKED THE COURT TO BLOCK THIS
LAW BECAUSE IT IS
UNCONSTITUTIONALLY VAGUE AND
VIOLATES THE RIGHTS TO LIBERTY,
BODILY INTEGRITY, EQUAL
PROTECTION AND PRIVACY UNDER THE
MICHIGAN CONSTITUTION AND STATE
CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS, THE JUDGE IN
HER OPINION, SAYING, IF A
WOMAN’S RIGHT TO BODILY
INTEGRITY IS TO HAVE ANY REAL,
MEANING, IT MUST INCORPORATE HER
RIGHT TO MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT
THE HEALTH EVENTS. MOST LIKELY
TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HER
LIFE, PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH.
PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S LAWSUIT IS
ONE OF TWO LAWSUITS IN MICHIGAN
RIGHT NOW ON THE ABORTION ISSUE
. THE OTHER IS FROM THE GOVERNOR
ASKING THE MICHIGAN SUPREME
COURT TO WEIGH IN ON WHETHER
ABORTION IS A RIGHT UNDER THE
DUE PROCESS CLAUSE OF THE
MICHIGAN CONSTITUTION. BACK HERE
ALIVE. LAWYERS FOR RIGHT TO LIFE
. MICHIGAN SAY THEY ANTICIPATE
FILING THEIR LITIGATION LIKELY
BY THE END OF THE WEEK. WE’RE
LIVE DOWNTOWN TONIGHT. I’M MARA
MACDONALD, LOCAL FORD. OF
COURSE. PLANNED PARENTHOOD IS
CURRENTLY TRYING TO GATHER ALL
THE SIGNATURES NEEDED TO PUT THE
ABORTION ISSUE ON THE BALLOT IN
NOVEMBER. WHAT ARE YOU HEARING
ABOUT WHERE THAT STANDS. IT’S A
TALL ORDER ALL THAT MANY
SIGNATURES. DE’VEON IT’S A HEAVY
LIFT. I MEAN, WE’RE TALKING MORE
THAN 425,000 SIGNATURES. THEY
HAVE UNTIL JULY 11TH TO DO IT
LAST TIME I CHECKED, THOUGH,
THEY SAY THEY’RE ON TARGET. SO
YOU KNOW, I GUESS WE WAIT AND
SEE TRACK OF THIS TO KEEP AN EYE
ON. ALL RIGHT, MARA. OKAY A DRY
NIGHT, WITH TEMPERATURES
DROPPING DOWN INTO THE FORTIES.
OVERNIGHT RAIN ON THE WAY SO
COLDER AND RAINY TO LET’S CHECK

SOUTHWESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
STATE. THE RAIN OUT AHEAD OF
THIS MAIN BATCH, THIS LIGHT RAIN
OVER CHICAGO HAVING A HARD TIME
STAYING TOGETHER BECAUSE OF THE
DRY AIR IN PLACE. BUT THIS AIR
MASS FURTHER WEST. IT’S READY TO
GO. SO BY THE TIME IT GETS HERE

GIVE WAY TO SHOWERS AND SOME OF
THAT RAIN COULD AT TIMES BE
HEAVY, SOME OF US ESPECIALLY OUT
IN THE WEST ZONE. GETTING IN ON
THE ACTION EARLY ON, BUT BY THE

DOWNPOURS. SOME OF US GETTING A

TEMPERATURES GOING UP AND DOWN
THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND THEN THE
CHANCE FOR MORE THUNDERSTORMS.
