LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT NEWS STARTS NOW. TOPPING OUR NEWS AT NOON, A FUEL
SPILL SPARKS A HAZMAT SITUATION
ALONG I 94 CLONE COUNTY. THIS IS
LOOK FROM SKY FOUR AT WESTBOUND
ON 94 RIGHT HERE. 12 MILES IN
ROSEVILLE STATE. POLICE SAY THAT
A SEMI TRUCK LOST CONTROL, SLID
OUT OF CONTROL AND THEN HIT
ANOTHER CAR. AND THAT CAUSED
THIS TRAIN REACTION CRASH
INVOLVING SIX VEHICLES SOMEHOW
SPILLED MORE THAN 150 GALLONS OF
DIESEL FUEL ON THE FREEWAY.
THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT IN
THE CRASH, BUT IT IS GOING TO
TAKE SOME TIME TO CLEAN UP AS
YOU CAN IMAGINE. THE WESTBOUND
LANES ON THE FREEWAY ARE CLOSED
RIGHT NOW, AND IT’S UNCLEAR WHEN
THEY WILL REOPEN. BUT OF COURSE,
WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON THAT.
OUR OTHER TOP STORY HERE AT
NOON, LOCAL AND FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT ARE IN A MAD DASH TO
GET STOLEN GUNS OFF THE STREET.
CERTAINLY OUR HOMES AS WE ARE
LEARNING NEW INFORMATION ABOUT A
RECENT GUN STORE, A COUPLE OF
GUN STORE ROBBERIES AND WAYNE
COUNTY SHAWN LEY CONTINUES TO
FOLLOW THIS FOR US AND SHAWN LEY
MAKING ANY PROGRESS. THEY ARE
MAKING PROGRESS IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT WAYS, AND THERE’S SUCH
A SENSE OF URGENCY. GOOD
AFTERNOON, RHONDA. GOOD
AFTERNOON. NEVER LET ME SHOW YOU
WERE HERE IN WESTLAND. THIS IS
WHERE THIS WILD SITUATION ALL
BEGAN HERE WHEN A SUV CAME
PLOWING THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR,
THE FRONT BUILDING HERE OF ARMED
IN MICHIGAN TO STEAL SO MANY
HIGH END HIGH POWERED WEAPONS.
THIS WAS JUST THE START. ANOTHER
SHOP WAS HIT ONLY HOURS LATER.
NOW A MAD SCRAMBLE AS YOU SAY,
TO TRACK DOWN THE PEOPLE WHO DID
THIS AND TRACK DOWN THOSE
WEAPONS BEFORE THEY GET INTO
MULTIPLE HANDS. A WORK CREW IS
NOT ONLY REPAIRING A MASSIVE
HOLE IN THE FRONT OF ARMED IN
MICHIGAN GUN SHOP ON WAYNE ROAD
IN WESTLAND. THEY’RE FORTIFYING
THE BUILDING WORKING TO PROTECT
AGAINST WHAT HAPPENED HERE EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. A PLANNED ATTACK
ON ARMED AND MICHIGAN IN THE
FORM OF PLOWING A KIA SUV
THROUGH THE FRONT AND 10 MEN
RUSH IN TO STEAL THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS WORTH OF HIGH END
WEAPONS. THIS CREW EVEN HAD
THEIR OWN SECURITY TEAM OUTSIDE
ON THE LOOKOUT WHILE THE SMASH
AND GRAB WENT DOWN HOURS LATER,
THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENING AT
THIS GUN SHOP IN DEARBORN
HEIGHTS ON WEST WARREN AVENUE.
NOT ONCE. BUT TWO TIMES SMASHING
THROUGH STEALING GUNS, THEN
COMING BACK AND SMASHING THROUGH
THE BOARDED UP FRONT OF THE
BUSINESS AGAIN NOW, 100 OR MORE
HIGH POWERED GUNS ARE ON THE
STREETS, AND THERE IS A RUSH
FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT TO TRACK
DOWN. THE MEN TRACK DOWN THE
GUNS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.

ALRIGHT BRENNAN. THANK YOU. WE
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE
SITUATION OUT OF MICHIGAN STATE
UNIVERSITY WERE SOME BOARD
MEMBERS ARE ASKING UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENT SAMUEL STANLEY TO
SUBMIT HIS RESIGNATION BY TODAY
, ACCORDING TO PUBLISHED REPORTS
, SOME MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE
UNHAPPY WITH SEVERAL OF
STANLEY’S DECISIONS, INCLUDING
HOW HE HANDLED THE TITLE NINE
RELATED INVESTIGATION INVOLVING
BUSINESS SCHOOL DEAN SANJAY
GUPTA. GUPTA ABRUPTLY RESIGNED

, WITH CHAIRWOMAN DIANNE BYRUM,
SAYING THE ATTEMPTS TO REMOVE

LET YOU KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY
UPDATES THROUGHOUT THE DAY WE’LL
KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT. THE
BODY OF QUEEN ELIZABETH HAS
BEING FLOWN TO LONDON TODAY AS
THE PERIOD OF MOURNING CONTINUES
IN THE UK THIS IS A LIVE LOOK
FROM IRELAND, WHERE A SERVICE
INVOLVING KING CHARLES THE THIRD
JUST WRAPPED UP. HE IS NOW
HEADED TO LONDON. THE QUEEN WAS
LYING AT REST FOR THE PAST 24
HOURS AT ST GILES CATHEDRAL IN

EXPECTED FOR THE QUEEN’S
CELEBRATION OF LIFE IN OUR NEXT
HALF HOUR. NEW INFORMATION THIS
AFTERNOON ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE
PAYING INFLATION SLOWED FOR A
SECOND STRAIGHT MONTH, BUT IT’S
STILL AT RECORD HIGHS. CONSUMER
PRICES WERE UP 8.3% IN AUGUST
COMPARED TO ABOUT A YEAR EARLIER
. THAT IS DOWN FROM THE 8.5%
JUMP THAT WE SAW IN JULY. GAS
PRICES AND CHEAPER USED CARS
HELPED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS
SLOWDOWN AND INFLATION NEWS
SINCE SACKS TUMBLING. WE WANT TO
GIVE YOU A LIVE LOOK HERE AT THE
BIG BOARD, WHERE THE DOW WAS
DOWN MORE THAN 800 POINTS. IT’S
THERE. YOU CAN SEE IT ON YOUR
SCREEN. LET’S CHECK IN WITH YOU.
PETRA MOHE HAS MORE ON THE
INFLATION REPORT FROM
WASHINGTON. DEFINITELY A LOT OF
SPIN HAPPENING HERE IN
WASHINGTON AND ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, AS BOTH PARTIES TRY TO
POSITION THEMSELVES AHEAD OF THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS, BUT THE
NUMBERS DON’T LIE AND HOW THE
ECONOMY PERFORMS OVER THE NEXT
TWO MONTHS COULD GO A LONG WAY
IN DETERMINING WHO CONTROLS
CONGRESS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS
, LESS THAN TWO MONTHS BEFORE
THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS, NEW
NUMBERS ON THE ECONOMY SHOW
INFLATION TICKED UP SLIGHTLY.
EVEN AS GAS PRICES AND THE COST
OF TRAVEL FELL. PRESIDENT BIDEN
, SPEAKING AT LOGAN
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IN BOSTON
, TOUTED MAJOR INVESTMENTS IN
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HE AND
FELLOW DEMOCRATS HELPED USHER
INTO LAW FOR TWO LONG. WE’VE
TALKED ABOUT HAVING THE BEST
ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. WE TALKED
ABOUT A CERTAIN AMERICAN
LEADERSHIP AROUND THE WORLD.
WITH THE BEST AND THE SAFEST
ROADS, RAILROADS, PORTS,
AIRPORTS, BUT NOW NOW WE’RE
FINALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT
. BIDEN SAYS THE MAJOR PROJECTS
WILL BE BUILT BY AMERICAN UNION
WORKERS WITH GOOD WAGES AND
BENEFITS. HE ALSO BOASTED ABOUT
OTHER PARTS OF HIS LEGISLATIVE
AGENDA, INCLUDING THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT, WHICH HE SAYS IS
HELPING TO BRING DOWN PRICES.
BUT THERE’S MORE TO DO A LOT
MORE TO DO. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT
WE’RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. WE’RE
SEEING REAL PROGRESS, BUT THE
PRESIDENT AND HIS PARTY STILL
FACE MAJOR HEADWINDS. BUT THE
NEW CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FIGURES
OUT TODAY SHOW FOOD AND HOUSING
COSTS ROSE, KEEPING INFLATION
HIGH. POLLS SHOW. IT’S A MAJOR
CONCERN FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
AND A DRAG ON THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION AFFECT
REPUBLICANS ARE QUICK TO POINT
OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE KNOW WHO
CREATED THIS MESS. REMEMBER
QUITE WELL HOW WASHINGTON
DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN THE SPRING
OF 2021. DINING OUT ON LEFT WING
SPENDING AND LEAVING TAXPAYERS
PICK UP THE BILL. FINGER
POINTING WILL NO DOUBT CONTINUE
AS WE ARE NOW, LESS THAN TWO
MONTHS FROM ELECTION DAY, SOME
KEY FACTORS IN THE SLOWDOWN IN
THE RATE OF INFLATION, GAS
PRICES ARE ON THE WAY DOWN, AS
IS THE COST OF TRAVEL, WHILE AT
THE SAME TIME SUPPLY CHAINS ARE
IMPROVING, REPORTING FROM
WASHINGTON. I’M DREW PETRIE, MO.
NBC NEWS. ALRIGHT DREW. THANK
YOU. WE GOTTA TALK GAS PRICES
NOW THEY ARE AT THEIR LOWEST
LEVEL SINCE MARCH. TRIPOLI SAYS
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A
GALLON OF GAS IS $3.71. THE COST
OF OIL IS LOWER AND GAS PRICES
USUALLY FOLLOW SUIT, SAYING THAT
AS LONG AS DEMAND CONTINUES TO
DROP, WHICH OFTEN HAPPENS AFTER
LABOR DAY WEEKEND, MORE AREAS
COULD START SEEING GAS PRICES
BELOW THE $3 MARKS. OR EVEN EVEN
BETTER NEWS THERE. YEAH TELL ME
ABOUT IT, AND IT IS THE RETURN
OF ONE OF OUR FAVORITE BIG
EVENT. AND THE MOTOR CITY, THE
