I THINK EVERYBODY IS GETTING KIND OF TOWARD THE OVER IT STAGE.
WHEN YOU SPRING FORWARD WITH THE CLOCKS YOU ARE LIKE, WE ARE READY FOR SPRING.
>> SOON ENOUGH.
NO SNOW GUARANTEE.
THINGS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO TAKE SHAPE HERE FOR SIGNS OF SPRING.
MEANWHILE, A LOT OF WINTER IN THE AIR TODAY.
LIGHT SNOW COMING DOWN AT METRO AIRPORT IN -- A NORTHWEST WIND AT 5.
33 DEGREES AND IT FEELS A LITTLE COLDER.
IT IS NOT REAL WINDY.
THE VISIBILITY IS REDUCED AT TIMES DUE TO THE LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS.
HERE IS A CLOSE UP LOOK AND YOU CAN SEE AGAIN SOME OF THE LIGHT SNOW.
THE DARKER SHADES OF BLUE ON RADAR TELLS US A SLIGHTLY HEAVIER SNOW BAND.
WHATY HAVE SEEN THAT IN PARTS OF THE WEST ZONE.
LIVINGSTON COUNTY IS STARTING TO SEE ALT MORE MODERATE SNOW.
YOU CAN SEE THE LANSING AREA IS PRODUCING SOME SNOW SHOWERS THAT ARE PIVOTING BACK TO THE WEST ZONE.
IT WILL START TO FILL IN MORE HERE ON THE EASTSIDE.
ONE THING THAT WE REALLY WANT TO WATCH OUT FOR ARE THESE OCCASIONAL HEAVIER SNOW WANTS.
SNOW BANDS.
A QUICK VOTING MAKES IT SLIPPERY AND REDUCES VISIBILITY.
MIDDLE TO LATE AFTERNOO ESPECIALLY, RHONDA, WE WILL SEE MORE OF THOSE AND MORE SNOW FOR THE TUESDAY FORECAST COMING U >> Rhonda: THANK YOU.
HE WAS STRUCK BY A VEHICLE AND LEFT FOR DEAD AND NOW THE MAN ACCUSED OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND INTENTIONALLY HITTING OVERALL WILL FACE A JUDGE.
HE IS CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE PREMEDITATED HOMICIDE AN WE NOW HAVE THE LATEST.
>> Reporter: GOOD AFTERNOON.
THE HEARING GETS UNDERWAY IN A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR FROM RIGHT NOW.
IT IS A PRETTY BIG DEAL CONSIDERING THAT THERE ARE TWO THINGS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT.
NUMBER ONE, THE EVIDENCE, AND THE WITNESSES TO SEE IF THERE IS ENOUGH TO MOVE THIS CASE FORWARD.
AND THEY WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH AND THE MENTAL COMPETENCY OF THE DEFENDANT.
THE LAST TIME CHRISTOPHER BARRICK SHUFFLED INTO COURT WAS IN A JUMP SUIT BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE HE IS BEING HELD.
BARRICK ALLEGEDLY TOLD POLICE BEFORE THE CHASE THAT HE WAS GOD AND MADE OTHER STATEMENTS THAT HIS LAWYER BELIEVES MEANS THERE IS A DIMINISHED CAPACITY.
BARRICK ALLEGEDLY KILLED DEPUTY ERIC OVERALL AFTER A POLICE CHASE.
INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE HE INTENTIONALLY SWERVED TO HIT O VIE -- OVERALL.
OVERALL'S WIDOW, SONYA, SPOKE FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT THE DEVASTATION HER HUSBAND'S DEATH HAS MEANT TO HER AND THE PEOPLE IN THEIR LIVES.

THIS HAS NOT ONLY AFFECTED ME, BUT THE THOUSANDS THAT ARE MOURNING HIM.
HE WILL NEVER SET FOOT OUTSIDE A JAIL CELL.
>> Reporter: AGAIN WHILE THIS CASE IS A VERY BIG DEAL, THIS EXACT HEARING IS ONLY ONE STEP IN THE PROCESS.
IF THE JUDGE THINKS THERE IS ENOUGH IN THIS CASE TO MOVE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL, IT WILL JUST BE A MATTER OF GOING TO CIRCUIT COURT WHERE IT ALL STARTS OVER AGAIN.
I'M NICK MONACELLI, LOCAL 4.
>> Rhonda: THANK YOU.

OVERNIGHT THE WHITE HOUSE RELEASED PLANS TO DEAL WITH GUN VIOLENCE, BUT THE NEW PLAN IS NOT WITHOUT CONTROVERSY.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN INCLUDES THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TRAINING VOLUNTEER TEACHERS TO CARRY GUNS IN SCHOOL.

>> Rhonda: WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW A DEVELOPING STORY FROM DETROIT'S WEST SIDE WHERE A WOMAN WAS SHOT TO DEATH ON SUNDAY NIGHT.

THE BOYFRIEND WASN'T INJURED AND THE SHOOTER DOT AWAY AND THE MOTIVE FOR THE SHOOTING STILL REMAINS UNKNOWN.
>> Rhonda: RIGHT NOW A SERIES OF DEADLY FIRES ARE UNDER INVESTIGATION ACROSS METRO DETROIT.
SADLY THREE CHILDREN WERE KILLED AT AN EAST POINT HOUSE FIRE OVER THE WEEKEND AS WELL AS A DEADLY CONDOMINIUM FIRE IN SOUTH FIELD, AND ANOTHER AT A HOME.
WE START WHERE A MASSIVE FIRE RAGED OUT OF CONTROL EARLIER THIS MORNING.
TAKE A LOOK AT SKY 4 OVER THE SCENE.
THIS HOME IS ON ALGAR STREET AT MADISON HEIGHTS WHERE CREWS WORKED ALL MORNING TO TRY TO PUT OUT THESE FLAMES.
RIGHT NOW NO REPORTS OF SERIOUS INJURIES.
INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING TO LEARN WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FIRE.
>> Rhonda: AND A COMMUNITY IS SHAKEN AFTER A FIRE CLAIMED THE LIVES OF THREE YOUNG CHILDREN.
POLICE SAY THAT THE CHILDREN AGES 9, 8 AND 4 WERE LEFT HOME ALONE WHEN THE FIRE BROKE OUT ON SUNDAY MORNING.
FIREFIGHTERS WERE UNABLE TO SAVE THE CHILDREN DUE TO THE EXTREME HEAT AND SMOKE POURING OUT OF THE HOME WHEN THEY ARRIVED.
NOW FAMILY AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE FEELING THE LOSS OF THOSE ADORABLE CHILDRE >> I JUST SAW THEM TWO DAYS AGO.
I JUST SAW THEM TWO DAYS AGO LITERALLY IT WAS TWO DAYS AGO.
>> Rhonda: YOU ARE WITNESSING THE GRIEF OF A COUSIN TO THOSE CHILDREN.
NO WORD ON THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE HOME DIDN'T HAVE WORKING FIRE DETECTORS.
THE KIDS REALLY DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE.
>> Rhonda: POLICE AND FIRE INVESTIGATORS IN LIVONIA ARE COLLECTING EVIDENCE FROM THIS SCENE.

CITY COUNCIL VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO FIRE KISHNICK AFTER HE WAS CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC ASSAULT OVER THE WEEKEND.
HE ALLEGEDLY ARGUED WITH A WOMAN DURING AN UBER RIDE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE HE ALLEGEDLY TACKLED THAT WOMAN TO THE GROUND.
TROY'S MAYOR GUARDED HIS COMMENTS AFTER LAST NIGHT'S FIRING.
>> WE DON'T WANT TO PUT THE CITY OF TROY IN ANY JEOPARDY AS FAR AS LAWSUITS OR POTENTIAL LAWSUITS.
I'M GONNA DEFER TO OUR COUNSEL.
>> KUSHNICK DENIES ALL ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.
>> Rhonda: A CHAOTIC SCENE ON A FORT LAUDERDALE STREET.
WHY THIS MAN HITTING A VEHICLE WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
WE ARE ALSO FOLLOWING OTHER MAJOR HEADLINES ACROSS THE U.S. AND THE WORLD THIS NOON INCLUDING A DEADLY CRASH IN KATHMANDU AND THE LATEST IN THE MYSTERIOUS POISONING OF A
RUSSIAN DOUBLE AGENT ALONG WITH MARVE

THE PLANE TOOK OFF FROM SOUTHERN BANGLADESH ABOUT 6:00 A.M. AND CRASHED AS IT LANDED AT THE KATHMANDU AIRPORT IN NEPAL AND BURST INTO FLAMES AFTER IMPACT.
AT LEAST 49 PEOPLE ARE CONFIRMED DEAD.
OF THE 71 PEOPLE ON BOARD THAT FLIGHT, AIRPORT OFFICIALS SAY THE PLANE WAS APPROACHING THE RUNWAY FROM THE WRONG DIRECTION WHICH LIKELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE CRASH.
>> Rhonda: AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING TODAY IN THE POISONING OF RUSSIAN -- THE FORMER RUSSIAN SPY IN ENGLAND.
THE SPY AND HIS DAUGHTER REMAIN IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO A NERVE AGENT LAST WEEK.
BRITAIN'S PRIME MINISTER WILL ADDRESS PARLIAMENT WITHIN THE HOUR AND IS EXPECTED TO POINT THE FINGER OF BLAME ON RUSSIA.
SEVERAL OTHERS INCLUDING FIRST RESPONDERS CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE NERVE AGENT, BUT NONE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT.
>> Rhonda: CELL PHONE VIDEO CAPTURES THE SHOCKING AFTERMATH OF A HIT-AND-RUN CRASH IN MIAMI WHEN MULTIPLE DRIVERS LEFT THEIR VEHICLES TO TRY TO STOP A FLEEING CAR.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
EVENTUALLY SUCCESSFUL, BUT SOME OF THEM WENT TOO TAR AND COULD FACE DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY CHARGES BECAUSE OF IT.
THE MAN WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR THE HIT-AND-RUN.
>> Rhonda: AND SWITCHING GEARS, MARVEL'S BOX OFFICE HIT, TALKING ABOUT "BLACK PANTHER" JOINED THE $1 BILLION MOVIE CLUB AFTER ITS FOURTH WOKE END ON THE TOP OF THE --

I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS SPEECHLESS SINCE "FORCE AWAKENS >> Rhonda: IT IS QUITE AN HONOR FOR ACTORS.
HAMIL JOINS 2,600 STARS ON THE HOLLYWOOD MOST FAMOUS WALKWAY.
>> Rhonda: A WOMAN ATTACKS A STREET VENDOR AND VAN VANDALIZES THE STALL ON THE STREETS OF SOUTHWESTERN CHINA.
THE MAN SHE ATTACKED IS THE ONE UNDER ARREST.
THE MAN UNDER ARREST IS A SUPPOSED PSYCHIC AND PREDICTED THAT THE WOMAN WOULD DIE IN FEBRUARY.
SHE MADE THE MOST OF THE LAST FEW MONTHS SPENDING MOST OF HER MONEY AND NOT WORRYING ABOUT HEALTHY EATING HABITS.
WHEN THE MAN CALLED POLICE TO REPORT HER VANDALIZING HIS BOOTH , POLICE HEARD THE WHOLE STORY AND ARRESTED THE MAN FOR IMPROPER BUSINESS PRACTICE.
>> Rhonda: ALSO MAKING NEWS THIS NOON, SWITCHING GEARS HERE.

IT IS A MID-MARCH SNOW THAT IS TO BE EXPECTED, I GUESS TODAY AND TOMORROW.
HOW MUCH DO WE EXPECT AND WHEN WE CAN SAY NO MO SNO >> Rhonda: WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY.
TURNING OUR ATTENTION TO GOOD HEALTH THIS NOON, THERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR PEOPLE WITH VERY HIGH CHEST -- CHOLESTEROL.
THERE IS A NEW STUDY THAT SAYS MEDICATION COULD CUT THE RISK FROM A HEART ATTACK.
THE RESULTS SHOW THIS ANTI-CHOLESTEROL DRUG CALLED PREVUANT MAY RAY DEUCE THE CHAINSES OF DYING FROM A HEART ATTACK.
IN THE STUDY IT REDUCED RATES OF HEART ATTACK, STROKE AND EVEN DEATH BY 15 PERCENT.
RESEARCHERS WILL USE THESE FINDINGS TO TRY TO PERSUADE INSURANCE COMPANIES TO COVER THE DRUG.
>> Rhonda: AND BRANDON IS BACK AND SO IS THE SNOW.
THE GRAPH LOOKS PRETTY, BUT I THINK A LOT OF FOLKS ARE GETTING TO THE OVER IT STAGE.
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WERE IN THOSE ZONES THAT GOT LIKE 9 INCHES OF SNOW LAST WEEK.
>> Brandon: YES, CRAZY WEATHER IN MARCH.
WE NEED TO BE READY.
LET'S START WITH WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY HERE IN MICHIGAN.
THIS WAS LAST FRIDAY WHEN WE HAD SNOW AND CRAZY WEATHER.
STEPHANIE ARMSTRONG, STORM PINNER HERE IN PONTIAC SHOWS THE SNOW-COVERED TREES THERE.
AND ALSO ON THE SAME DAY ALT -- ALT PICTURE OF A WINTER SUN SETTING.
IT IS ONE OF THE LAST ONES BEFORE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME RETURNED.
LOCAL 4 STORM PINS AND THERE IS A FREE APP UNDER WDIV.
CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME SEE YOUR PICTURES.
UPPER 20s TO LOW 30s OUT THERE.
PLACES LIKE ADRIAN SEEING COOLER TEMPERATURES M 33 AT METRO AIRPORT AND IT IS JUST NOW STARTING TO SEE THE LIGHT SNOW COMING IN.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT FLURRIES AND LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS FOR MOST OF US AS THIS STUFF DRIES OUTCOMING FROM WEST TO EAST.
BUT THERE WILL BE A FEW HEAVIER BANDS ESPECIALLY MIDTO LATE AFTERNOON AND THEY COULD LAY DOWN A COATING THAT COULD REDUCE VISIBILITY.
NOTHING MAJOR WITH ACCUMULATION TODAY AT ALL.
BUT THAT IS A LITTLE PROBLEMATIC.
IT JUST TAKES A NUISANCE AND MAKES IT MORE OF A PROBLEM.
25 OVERNIGHT AND A FEW MORE SNOW SHOWERS.
HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY ON 4 LIVE RADAR.
YOU CAN SEE IT SPLITTING APART AND BREAKING APART.
THE LIGHTER SHADES OF BLUE WILL GET A LITTLE DARKER COMING OUT OF LANSING.
WE WILL NEED TO WARN FOLKS IN LIVINGSTON THAT SOME OF THAT IS COMING OUR WAY.
IN THE MEANTIME TODAY WE WATCH ANOTHER NOR' EASTER TAKING SHAPE THAT WILL RIDE UP THE COAST AND CREATE SOME TRAVEL ISSUES AND MAYBE SOME MORE POWER ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FROM
THIS WINTRY WEATHER INTO NEW YORK AND BOSTON A THEN TOMORROW AS THAT NOR' EASTER IS SET UP JUST OFFSHOR OF BOSTON AND NEW YORK, IT SORT OF IS A LITTLE BLOCKING
PATTERN FOR OUR SNOW MAKER HERE.
THAT'S WHY WE KEEP SNOW CHANCES ALIVE AGAIN TOMORROW.
NOTICE AT 4:00 ON THE MODEL THIS LITTLE STRIPE HERE ALONG 75 AND 275, THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE SQUALLS THAT WE HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR.
TOMORROW AFTERNOON THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE PREVALENT.
THERE ARE A FEW MORE OF THEM.
SOME COULD LAY DOWN A QUICK HALF INCH TO AN INCH.
IT IS COOLER AND BREEZIER AS WELL TOMORROW.
MORE WINTER-LIKE, BUT NOT LOOKING AT ANY BIG ACCUMULATIONS HERE.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH ST.
PATRICK'S DAY SATURDAY, RHONDA, DRY.
AND NOTICE THE WARM UP, FLIRTING WITH 50s ALL WEEKEND.
