FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL FOUR NEWS AT FIVE STARTS NOW. WE BEGIN TONIGHT WITH A KEY VICTORY
FOR THE FAMILIES OF THE OXFORD
SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS, A
LAWSUIT NAMING THE SCHOOL AS A
DEFENDANT CAN GO FORWARD. THANKS
FOR JOINING US HERE AT FIVE I’M
KAREN DREW IN FOR DEVON SCALLION
AND I’M KIMBERLY GIL. TODAY’S
RULING FROM A FEDERAL JUDGE
ALLOWS A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE
DISTRICT IN TWO STAFFERS TO MOVE
FORWARD. SEVEN OTHER OXFORD
SCHOOL WORKERS WERE DISMISSED
FROM THE CASE. MEANWHILE
ATTORNEYS FOR THE FAMILIES ARE
CALLING IT A MONUMENTAL WIN.
LET’S BRING IN SEAN LEE. HE’S
LIVE ON THIS STORY TONIGHT,
SEAN. KIMBERLY WE’VE BEEN
GATHERING REACTION TO THIS
BOMBSHELL RULING ALL DAY LONG.
IT IS A BIG DEAL HERE. A BIG
RULING FOR OXFORD FAMILIES WHO
HAVE BEEN DEMANDING ANSWERS AND
ACCOUNTABILITY. FAMILIES LIKE
BUCK MIR. BUT MEARS SON, TATE
WAS SHOT AND KILLED IN THE
OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTING
MIRROR HAS ALWAYS HAD QUESTIONS
FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WITH THE
SHOOTER THAT DAY AND HAD THEIR
HANDS ON THE SHOOTER’S BACKPACK.
WHY DIDN’T YOU CHECK IT? SIMPLE
THAT BACKPACK CONTAINING A
HANDGUN HANDED BACK TO THE
STUDENT. AND THEN THOSE DEADLY
SHOTS WERE FIRED. ME OR ANOTHER
OXFORD FAMILIES WILL NOW GET
ANSWERS AFTER A FEDERAL JUDGE
RULING TODAY THAT OXFORD SCHOOL
COUNSELOR SHAWN HOPKINS AND
OXFORD NICHOLAS JACK INCREASED
THE RISK OF HARM TO OTHERS. THE
DAY OF THE SHOOTING BOTH NOW CAN
BE QUESTIONED UNDER OATH. WHY
DON’T YOU SHUT THE BACKPACK? I
DON’T KNOW WHAT JUST WHAT WERE
YOU THINKING? WE’RE GOING TO BE
ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE VERY
THING THAT EVERYONE WANTED TO
KNOW. FROM DAY ONE. WHY DIDN’T
THEY SEARCH THE BACKPACK AND
ALSO WHAT? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN
TRAINED IN TO BE ABLE TO
IDENTIFY? THREATS ATTORNEY JIM
HARRINGTON WITH FIVE YEAR LAW
ALSO REPRESENTS OXFORD FAMILIES
IN A FEDERAL LAWSUIT, HE
EXPLAINS WHY A JUDGE RULED THAT
THE COUNSELOR AND DEAN REMAIN IN
THE LAWSUITS INCREASED THE RISK
OF HARM THE ACTIONS THAT THEY
TOOK AT THAT TIME DURING THAT
MEETING WAS REALLY THE LIGHTING
OF THE FUSE THAT SET THE BOMB
OFF. THESE FEDERAL LAWSUITS MOVE
FORWARD NOW IMMEDIATELY. ALSO,
WE REACHED OUT TO THE ATTORNEY
FOR OXFORD SCHOOLS FOR COMMON OR
REACTION. TODAY’S RULING HAVE
NOT YET HEARD BACK KIMBERLY. THE
JUDGE DROPPED FROM THE LAWSUIT.
THE SUPERINTENDENT OF OXFORD
SCHOOLS, OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL AND THREE TEACHERS WHO
WERE INVOLVED THAT DAY BACK TO
YOU, ETHAN, CRUMBLY WAS BACK IN
FRONT OF A JUDGE TODAY. WHAT WAS
THAT ALL ABOUT? WE MONITOR THAT
EVERY MONTH BY LAW, SINCE HE IS
STILL A JUVENILE. THEY HAVE TO
HAVE A HEARING IN OAKLAND COUNTY
TO SEE IF HE’S GOING TO MOVE TO
JUVENILE JAIL OR STAYING IN
ADOPT JAIL. AND THE RULING HAS
ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME. LIKE TODAY
HE IS STAYING WHERE HE IS.
OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL WILL STAY.
OKAY, SEAN. THANK YOU. SHOT AND
SADNESS TONIGHT OVER THE DEATH
OF OAKLAND COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
DR CALANDRA GREEN GREEN WAS
KILLED IN AN APPARENT MURDER
SUICIDE AT HER PONTIAC HOME
TONIGHT. WE’RE LEARNING ABOUT
THE HUGE IMPACT SHE HAD ON HER
COMMUNITY AGAIN. WOODS LIVE FOR
US THIS EVENING AND MEGAN, THIS
IS A MASSIVE LOSS FOR SO MANY.
IT REALLY IS. SHE WAS A MOTHER.
SHE WAS A DAUGHTER, AND SHE WAS
A MEMBER AT THIS PONTIAC CHURCH
ACTUALLY LATER THIS MONTH AS SHE
WAS SUPPOSED TO SPEAK AT A
SPECIAL EVENT NOW THEY’RE
PASSING OUT FLYERS LIKE THIS.
THEY’RE ABSOLUTELY HEARTBROKEN.
TO LOOK OUT THERE AND KNOW THAT
I WON’T SEE HER AGAIN. YEAH IT
HURTS. PASTOR TERRENCE GAUDY OF
MACEDONIA MISSIONARY BAPTIST
CHURCH SAYS HE JUST SAW DOCTOR
CALANDRA GREEN SUNDAY. JUST CALL
A DOCTOR CALANDRA AND JUST
REMINDED. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD
TO WOMEN’S DAY. AND THAT
BEAUTIFUL SMILE WOULD LIGHT UP,
YOU KNOW, WOULD COME ON HER
FACE, AND SHE’S UM, EXCITED TO
HE’S TRYING TO PROCESS HER
MURDER WHILE SUPPORTING A
GRIEVING CONGREGATION. WE’RE NOT
TRYING TO GET OVER IT. WE’RE
JUST TRYING TO GET THROUGH IT.
THE SAME GOES FOR OAKLAND COUNTY
EXECUTIVE DAVE COULTER. THE FACT
THAT SHE WAS MURDERED, FRANKLY,
LEAVES ME REALLY ANGRY ON TOP OF
THE GRIEF AND THE SADNESS AND
THE SHOCK THAT I FEEL I AM JUST
REALLY ANGRY, DESCRIBES HER AS
FUNNY AND HARDWORKING AND SAYS
THE NIGHT BEFORE DR GREENE WAS
AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY TO
CELEBRATE A COLLEAGUE BEING
HONORED PEOPLE TALK TO HER.
EVERYTHING APPEARED NORMAL AND
FINE AND SHE WAS HER NORMAL.
HAPPY SOUTH. HE BELIEVED HER
FUTURE WAS LIMITLESS, BUT NOW
HE’S PLANNING WAYS. YOU ARE HER
LIFE. WE WON’T BE ABLE TO
REPLACE CALANDRA. SO A BEFORE
WORKING AT OAKLAND COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENT, SHE WAS OVER AT
MCLAREN FOR 11 YEARS AND AT ONE
POINT BEING THE CHIEF NURSING
OFFICER. THEY RELEASED A
STATEMENT TODAY SAYING QUOTE
WHILE AT MCLAREN OAKLAND,
CALANDRA WAS A BRIGHT SPOT IN
THE DAY FOR THOSE WHO WORKED
WITH HER DURING HER TIME WITH US
HER CAPACITY TO CARE AND SERVE
THE NEEDS OF PATIENTS
DEMONSTRATED TO OTHERS WHAT IT
MEANT TO TRULY BE A CAREGIVER.
SO AGAIN, IT JUST SAYS HOW MUCH
OF A LIGHT SHE WAS IN THIS
COMMUNITY IN THIS COUNTY AND
JUST TO WHOEVER SHE MET BACK TO
YOU WAS TALKING ABOUT SOME
OAKLAND COUNTY EMPLOYEES WHO
KNEW HER AS WELL, MEGAN, AND
THEY JUST SAID HER LIGHT WAS SO
BRIGHT. SHE HELPED SO MANY SUCH
A LOSS FOR SO MANY, UM, IN TERMS
OF INVESTIGATION, WERE YOU ABLE
TO FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW POLICE
WERE TIPPED OFF TO THIS? COUNTY
EXECUTIVE DAVE CULTURE SAYS YOU
KNOW WHEN SHE DIDN’T ARRIVE AT
WORK YESTERDAY AND DIDN’T TELL
ANYBODY THEY KNEW SOMETHING WAS
UP. SOMEONE FROM THE HEALTH
DEPARTMENT CALLED HER MOTHER AND
THEY WENT OVER TO THE HOME. THE
MOTHER AND CALANDRA IS A NEPHEW
, AND THAT’S WHEN THEY NOTICED
SOMETHING WASN’T RIGHT AND
CALLED POLICE AND INVESTIGATORS
, SO THAT’S HOW THEY WERE TIPPED
OFF. JUST REALLY A SAD STORY,
HORRIBLE THANK YOU, MEGAN. YES
WELL, THE END OF TITLE 42 BRINGS
A NEW WAVE OF CONCERNS FOR
MIGRANTS ENTERING THE COUNTRY,
AND THEY ALREADY OVERWHELMED
BORDER COMMUNITIES TRYING TO
SHELTER THEM AND AS THE CRISIS
DEEPENS THE POLITICAL FIGHT OVER
IMMIGRATION REFORM IS HEATING UP
IN WASHINGTON, DREW PETRIE, MO.
AS THAT PART OF THE STORY FOR US
TONIGHT FROM CAPITOL HILL. TODAY
AT THE BORDER. THE SCENES WERE
RELATIVELY CALM, BUT THE FULL
IMPACT OF THE END OF TITLE 42
WILL LIKELY PLAY OUT OVER WEEKS
AND MONTHS. IT’S A TRUE TEST FOR
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AS IT
FACES HEAVY CRITICISM FROM
REPUBLICANS. SCENES OF
DESPERATION AT THE BORDER OF
FATHER CARRIES AN INFANT ACROSS
THE RIO GRANDE IN A SUITCASE.
THEY ARE AMONG THE THOUSANDS OF
MIGRANTS FLEEING POVERTY AND
VIOLENCE, LOOKING FOR A BETTER
LIFE IN THE US REAMS ARE MANY
FIRST IS TO PROVIDE A BETTER
LIFE FOR MY KIDS. PALENCIA SAYS
HER FAMILY TRAVELED THROUGH
SEVEN COUNTRIES BEFORE CROSSING
THE SOUTHERN BORDER TO EL PASO,
TEXAS. BUT FOR FUTURE MIGRANTS
HOPING TO DO THE SAME, THE RULES
HAVE CHANGED LATE THURSDAY
NIGHT. THE IMMIGRATION POLICY
KNOWN AS TITLE 42 EXPIRED,
HOMELAND SECURITY SECRETARY
ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS DEFENDING THE
ADMINISTRATION’S POLICIES. WE
HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS
MOMENT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND
A HALF. I HAVE BEEN VERY CLEAR
THAT IT’S GOING TO BE
CHALLENGING, BUT WE DO HAVE A
PLAN AND PLACE OF TITLE 40 TO
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
USING A MIX OF POLICIES IN HOPES
OF CONTROLLING THE BORDER. THEY
INCLUDE NEW PATHWAYS FOR LEGAL,
IMMIGRATION AND HARSHER
PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO DON’T
USE THEM WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO
ENCOUNTER AT OUR BORDER IS
BORDER PATROL AGENTS WHO WILL
TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY AND
REMOVE IT, BUT REPUBLICANS ARE
ATTACKING THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION’S IMMIGRATION
POLICIES. WE HAVE A HUMANITARIAN
AND A NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS
AT OUR BORDER EVERY SINGLE DAY,
THE BIDEN MINISTRATIONS BLAMES
CONGRESS FOR FAILING TO ACT TO
REFORM IMMIGRATION LAWS. CUT IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE POLITICAL
BRAWL OR THE HOPES AND DREAMS OF
MIGRANTS. MY HOPES ARE NOW SET
AND FAITH EVEN STRONGER THAT I
CAN ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING I WANT
RISKING THEIR LIVES FOR A CHANCE
AT THE AMERICAN DREAM. IN
ADDITION TO TITLE 42 OTHER COVID
ERA POLICIES ARE ENDING, BORDER
OFFICIALS SAY THAT WILL ALLOW
THEM TO ADD ADDITIONAL BEDS AT
BORDER FACILITIES AND PROCESS
MIGRANTS MORE QUICKLY AS THEY
WON’T HAVE TO GO THROUGH COVID
SCREENINGS. REPORTING FROM
WASHINGTON. I’M DREW PETRIE, MO
LOCAL FOR DREW. THANK YOU.
MEANWHILE IN PLACES LIKE NORTH
DAKOTA ON THE NORTHERN BORDER,
THERE’S BARELY EVEN MARKERS,
LETTING PEOPLE KNOW WHAT SIDE
THEY’RE ON. THOSE SPOTS HAVE
STARTED TO SEE SOME MIGRANT
ACTIVITY. IT’S MAINLY MEXICAN
CITIZENS FLYING TO CANADA AND
THEN CROSSING INTO THE UNITED
STATES. ALL RIGHT NOW TO THE
WEATHER. WE ARE SEEING SOME RAIN
MOVED THROUGH ON EXACT TRACK 40
RADAR JUST IN TIME TO START OUR
WEEKEND, BUT THERE WERE SOME
WORRIES EARLIER IN THE WEEK. IF
YOU RECALL WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. THAT’S
RIGHT, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THINGS
ARE CLEARING UP A LITTLE BIT. SO
LET’S GET OVER TO KIM ADAMS. KIM
THIS RAIN ISN’T GOING TO LAST
ALL THAT LONG. NO IT WON’T LAST
ALL THAT LONG, AND IT’S NOT ALL
THAT HEAVY, EITHER EXACT TRACK
40 RADAR RIGHT NOW PICKING UP
SOME LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN
RIGHT AROUND BELLEVILLE. I WANT
TO GO ON JUST A LITTLE BIT
TIGHTER HERE SO YOU CAN SEE THE
AIRPORT GETTING A MODERATE
SHOWER RIGHT ALONG I 2 75, BUT
IT DOES NOT EXTEND OVER INTO THE
CITY OF DETROIT, WHERE THEY’RE
GETTING READY FOR THE TIGERS
GAME PINK OUT AT THE PARK
TONIGHT. CAN’T RULE OUT THERE
COULD BE A STRAY SHOWER THAT
POPS UP THERE, BUT WE’RE NOT
EXPECTING HEAVY DOWNPOURS RIGHT
NOW. A COUPLE SPRINKLES IN
MELVIN DALE LINCOLN PARK IS DRY
, AND SO IS SOUTHGATE. SO WE’LL
CONTINUE TO WATCH THIS OVER THE
NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT NOT
EXPECTING HEAVY, WIDESPREAD RAIN
74 IN MOUNT CLEMENS, UPPER
SEVENTIES IN PONTIAC AND 75
RIGHT NOW OUT IN AN AUBURN NOW
TOMORROW IN THE MORNING, IT WILL
BE A LITTLE BIT CLOUDY, BUT
THERE IS HOPE BY THE AFTERNOON
WE’LL START TO SEE SOME BREAKS
OF SUN HERE AND THERE AND
TEMPERATURES GET BACK INTO THE
MID TO UPPER SEVENTIES AND THEN
YOUR MOTHER’S DAY FORECAST.
WE’RE NOT COMPLETELY OUT OF THE
WOODS FOR A SPRINKLE, MAYBE LATE
LATE IN THE DAY, BUT IT LOOKS
LIKE MOST OF THE DAY IS GOING TO
BE DRY. WE’LL TALK ABOUT
TEMPERATURES, THOUGH THERE ARE A
LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS DAY
YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD THE
FOREWARN WEATHER APP AND IT WILL
GIVE YOU THE MOTHER’S DAY
FORECAST FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
JUST GO TO YOUR FAVORITE APP
STORE AND TYPE IN W. D. V.
ALRIGHT THANKS AGAIN USED TO BE
A CUTTING EDGE FEATURING CARS,
BUT IT COULD SOON BE GOING AWAY
. THIS IS QUITE A STORY ELECTRIC
VEHICLES. THEY ARE THREATENING
AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY AND WE’RE NOT
TALKING ABOUT GAS STATIONS.
LITTLE CLOUDY OUT HERE ON BELLE
ISLE TODAY, BUT YOU STILL GOTTA
THINK SUNSCREEN AND SOME
PROTECTION. SO WHICH PRODUCTS
WORK BEST. WE HAVE THE RESULTS
FROM CONSUMER REPORTS COMING UP.
IT MIGHT HELP ME, HANK REPORT.
OKAY HANK, BUT FIRST, MAYOR
DUGGAN SAYS IT HAS TO GET DONE
FASTER, WHY HE’S DOUBLING DOWN
