WHY. FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. FOR THE SECOND NIGHT IN A ROW. WE’RE
TRACKING STORMS MOVING
THROUGHOUT METRO DETROIT, AND
THOSE SLOW MOVING STORMS MEANS
SOME AREAS ARE GETTING A LOT OF
RAIN TONIGHT. THE SKIES ARE LIT
UP ALL ACROSS THE METRO BRETT
COLLAR TRACKING ALL OF IT FOR
US. WE’VE BEEN KEEPING A CLOSE
EYE ON STORM TRACKER FOUR
THROUGHOUT THE EVENING. WHAT’S
INTERESTING, THERE’S BEEN A
NUMBER OF BOUNDARIES KIND OF
INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER, A
STATIONARY FRONT THAT’S SLOWLY
SAGGING SOUTH, VARIOUS OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES FROM OTHER STORMS.
LAKE BREEZES. AND THAT’S KIND OF
KEPT THINGS GOING FOR A LITTLE
BIT LONGER HERE THE HEAVY
YESTERDAY NOW IN SOUTHERN MACOMB
COUNTY, SO WE’LL ZOOM IN THEIR
FIRST THING TO NOTICE A LOT OF
LIGHTNING ON TOP OF THE HEAVY
RAIN, MIND YOU. THIS IS AN AREA
THAT’S ALREADY PICKED UP A LOT
OF RAIN IN THE LAST 24 HOURS, SO
WE’RE KIND OF ADDING INSULT TO
INJURY HERE, WITH ALL THE RAIN
COMING DOWN. FLOODING CONTINUES
TO BE A CONCERN TONIGHT. IN SOME
SPOTS TOMORROW. THINGS GET A
LITTLE BIT BETTER. COUPLE OF
ISOLATED SHOWERS MAY POP UP IN
THE AFTERNOON, BUT FEW AND FAR
BETWEEN. MOST OF US ARE GOING TO
STAY DRY, AND THAT WILL ALSO
HOLD TRUE FOR SATURDAY, MAYBE
ONE OR TWO. ISOLATED PM SHOWERS,
BUT THE BETTER CHANCE FOR RAIN
IS LATER SUNDAY INTO MONDAY.
GOING TO FEEL TOASTY THIS
WEEKEND WITH THE HUMIDITY WILL
TALK ABOUT THAT. COMING UP IN
JUST A BIT. OKAY BRETT. THANK
YOU. OTHER TOP STORY, A 77 YEAR
OLD WOMAN IS ABLE TO ESCAPE TWO
HOME INVADERS WHO FORCED THEIR
WAY INTO HER HOME ARMED WITH
GUNS. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS ABLE
TO GET AWAY SHORTLY AFTER THEY
GOT INSIDE HER DEARBORN HEIGHTS
HOME. PAMELA OSBORNE SHOWS US
HOW SHE DID IT. DESPITE BEING
STARTLED AWAKE BY THOSE TWO
ARMED GUNMEN, THAT WOMAN WAS
ABLE TO GET HERSELF TO A SAFE
PLACE AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY
SHE HAD SHE BOLTED TO A
NEIGHBOR’S HOME FOR HELP. THIS
IS A KIND OF WAKE UP CALL FOR
THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD. FAROOQ
GARAGE. LEE SAYS THAT WAKE UP
CALL CAME AROUND SIX O’CLOCK
LAST WEDNESDAY MORNING WHEN HIS
NEIGHBOR HAS 77 YEAR OLD WOMAN
LIVING ALONE WOKE UP TWO ARMED
ROBBERS IN MASKS IN HER HOME.
SHE DIDN’T PANIC. IN FACT, SHE
DID THE OPPOSITE. SHE MADE
HERSELF LIKE SHE WAS GETTING
SICK AND SHE WANTED TO GO TO THE
BATHROOM AND APPARENTLY, SHE WAS
ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE BACK DOOR
AND JUST COME RUNNING ACROSS THE
STREET. OVER HERE. GARAGE. LEE’S
HOUSE FOR HELP. HIS WIFE
ANSWERED THE DOOR AND TOGETHER
THEY CALLED 911 FROM THE
LOCATION ONE MINUTE AND 45.
SECONDS LATER, NINE OFFICERS
WERE ON THE SCENE. SERGEANT
STEVENS WAS THE FIRST PERSON TO
ARRIVE ON SCENE. AND OBSERVE ONE
OF THE SUSPECTS STANDING NEAR A
VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN BACKED
INTO THE DRIVEWAY JUST AS OUR
VICTIM HAD DESCRIBED DEARBORN
HEIGHTS POLICE CHIEF JARED HART
SAYS THE SUSPECT BY THE CAR RAN
OFF OFFICERS CHASED THEM DOWN
AND MADE THE ARREST. POLICE
LATER IDENTIFIED HIM AS 33 YEAR
OLD MICHAEL CLEGG TAYLOR, A
HABITUAL OFFENDER. THE SECOND
INTRUDER GOT AWAY. POLICE
RECOVERED TWO HANDGUNS, A FACE
MASK AND ITEMS BELONGING TO THE
VICTIM IN THEIR CAR, SO YOU NO
LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THE HOUSE. A
SCROLL LIVES A FEW DOORS DOWN.
TRAGIC HE’S GLAD HIS NEIGHBORS
PHYSICALLY OKAY. STILL HE CAN’T
HELP BUT FEEL LIKE SHE WAS
ROBBED OF SOMETHING SHE CAN
NEVER GET BACK. THE MEMORIES ARE
RAISING CHILDREN AND HAVING A
FAMILY AND THEIR HUSBAND PASSED
AWAY. ALL THOSE PRECIOUS
MEMORIES. ONE LOCATION. AND AS A
RESULT OF AH INDISCRETION BY A
COUPLE OF INDIVIDUALS HAS BEEN
SNATCHED AWAY FROM HER AS
ALARMING AS THIS CRIME IS
DEARBORN HEIGHTS. POLICE SAY
THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT
THAT FIRST SUSPECT BEING HELD
WITHOUT BOND. THE SECOND SUSPECT
THEY’RE HOPING EVIDENCE
COLLECTED AT THE SCENE WILL HELP
THEM IDENTIFY AND ARREST HIM AS
WELL. I’M PAMELA OSBORNE, LOCAL
4. OKAY, PAM. THANK YOU. THE
DUST HAS BARELY SETTLED FROM THE
PRIMARY ELECTION, AND ALREADY
THE ATTACK ADS HAVE BEGUN
STARTED STARTING WITH AN ISSUE.
WE’RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT ABOUT
BEFORE NOVEMBER. ER AND THAT IS
ABORTION. ARMORY MCDONALD IS
DOWNTOWN TONIGHT. MARA AN
ABORTION BALLOT PROPOSAL. IS
THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE’S
OFFICE RIGHT NOW, DO WE KNOW THE
STATUS? YOU KNOW, PROPONENTS OF
TRYING TO GET ABORTION ON THE
BALLOT THIS NOVEMBER TURNED IN
MORE THAN 700,000 SIGNATURES.
THAT IS AN AMAZING FEAT. RIGHT
NOW. THE SIGNATURES ARE BEING
VETTED BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE
WITH THE EXPECTATION THEY’LL
HAVE A FINAL DECISION ON WHETHER
THEY HAVE ENOUGH VALID
SIGNATURES BY THE END OF THIS
MONTH. MICHIGAN IS SAID TO HAVE
A HISTORIC WOMAN VERSUS WOMAN
MATCH UP THIS NOVEMBER, THE
FIRST EVER IN OUR STATE FOR
GOVERNOR, AND ALREADY THE
CANDIDATES. STARK DIFFERENCES ON
ABORTION ARE IN PLAY ON THE
AIRWAVES. ARE YOU FOR THE
EXEMPTIONS FOR RAPE AND INCEST.
I AM NOT. DEMOCRATIC GOVERNORS
ASSOCIATION, LAUNCHING THIS ANTI
DIXON TV AD ALREADY WHO FAVORS
NO ACCESS TO ABORTION, ACCEPTED
THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER IS IN
DANGER, WHICH POLLING SUGGESTS
IS NOT A MAJORITY VIEWPOINT.
FROM A STRATEGY PERSPECTIVE, THE
PRO SE IT’S SMART CAMPAIGNING. I
THINK PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT THAT
IS GOING TO BE IN A CRUCIAL
ISSUE THIS ELECTION SO NO TO
COME OUT RIGHT NOW AND TO HIT
HER ON IT IS SOMETHING THAT’S
VERY SMART. DEMOCRATS ARE
HOPEFUL THE LANDSLIDE VICTORY TO
KEEP ABORTION ACCESS. IN THE
STATE CONSTITUTION IN KANSAS,
TRANSLATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
INTO TURNOUT FOR THEM, BUT THERE
ARE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN WHAT
KANSAS DID KEEP WHAT IS ALREADY
IN THEIR STATE CONSTITUTION. AND
WHAT MICHIGAN ASKED FOR. WHICH
IS TO PUT ABORTION ACCESS IN THE
STATE CONSTITUTION. BUT THERE’S
MORE AT PLAY THIS FALL THAN
SOCIAL ISSUES. PRESIDENT WITH
LOW APPROVAL NUMBERS AND RECORD
INFLATION MEANS VOTERS HAVE
PLENTY ON THEIR PLATE TO
CONSIDER JUST SITTING THERE AND
SAYING WHAT TUTOR DIXON IS FOR
OR AGAINST ISN’T REALLY GOING TO
HELP GOVERNOR WHITMER. SHE NEEDS
TO REMIND VOTERS WHAT SHE’S
GOING TO DO IN THE NEXT FOUR
YEARS BASED UPON WHAT SHE DID
THESE PAST FOUR YEARS, THE
REALITY OF THE SITUATION HERE IS
THAT GOVERNOR WHITMER HEADS INTO
THE FALL WITH MANY ADVANTAGES,
INCLUDING THE MONEY ADVANTAGE,
HOWEVER. SINCE WE HAVE PROBLEMS
WITH THE ECONOMY AND INFLATION
IS INCREDIBLY HIGH. TYPICALLY IN
THE MIDTERMS, THE PARTY IN
CHARGE ALWAYS TAKES IT ON THE
CHIN, WHICH MEANS THAT NEITHER
OF THESE WOMEN CAN AFFORD TO RUN
HALF HAZARD CAMPAIGN HEADING
INTO NOVEMBER. WE’RE DOWNTOWN.
I’M MARA MACDONALD, LOCAL 4 MARA

ANOTHER CHILD. IT HAPPENED IN A
HOME ON LITTLEFIELD ON DETROIT’S
WEST SIDE. WE’RE TOLD THERE WERE
SEVERAL ADULTS IN THE HOME WHEN
ONE OF THE TWO CHILDREN SOMEHOW
GOT ACCESS TO AN ASSAULT RIFLE.
IT WENT OFF INSIDE THAT CLOSET,
HITTING THE GIRL IN THE THIGH
AND HER STOMACH AREA. JUST A
UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. OUR HEARTS
GO OUT TO THE FAMILY. IT’S VERY
DIFFICULT. THAT’S WHY THE SO
IMPORTANT WITH GUN SAFETY THAT
THE PUBLIC KNOWS THAT IT’S
IMPORTANT TO PUT THESE GUNS UP.
DON’T HAVE THEM ACCESSIBLE TO
CHILDREN. POLICE FOUND THE GUN
AT AN ABANDONED SCHOOL JUST A
FEW BLOCKS AWAY. THEY BELIEVE
THE MOTHER’S BOYFRIEND MAY HAVE
TRIED TO DITCH IT. NO WORD YET

INFECTIOUS DISEASE EXPERTS SAY.
TODAY’S DECISION GETS THE WHEELS
IN MOTION TO RESPOND IF THE
VIRUS OUTBREAK BECOMES AN
ENDEMIC. RESIDENTS IN STERLING
HEIGHTS WILL SOON GET A LITTLE
BREAK ON THEIR WATER BILLS.

APPROVED A 1% REDUCTION IN THE
CITY’S WATER AND SEWER RATES.
THE DECREASE WILL SHOW UP IN
