MORE BREAKING NEWS THIS NOON AND
THIS TIME OUT OF MACOMB COUNTY,
THE MAN ACCUSED OF CAUSING A
CRASH. WITH A BODY IN HIS TRUCK
IN ROOSEVELT IS NOW CHARGED WITH
MURDERER. POLICE SAY THAT 19
YEAR OLD STEVEN FREEMAN BROKE
INTO GABRIELLE SEAT’S HOUSE LAST
MONTH WHEN SHE WASN’T HOME, AND
POLICE SAY THAT WHEN SHE ARRIVED
, THEY GOT INTO A FIGHT AND SHE
WAS KILLED. THERE ARE NOT SAYING
HOW SHE DIED LATER. IN THAT DAY,
FREEMAN WAS DRIVING HER TRUCK
NEAR HAYES AND COMMON WHEN HE
CRASHED AND RAN OFF. HER BODY
WAS FOUND IN THE BED OF THAT
TRUCK. FREEMAN WENT BEFORE A
JUDGE ON THE NEW MURDER CHARGES
TODAY AND IS IN JAIL WITH NO
BOND. ANOTHER BIG STORY IS WHAT
IS GOING ON WITH THE WEATHER AS
WE TAKE A LIVE LOOK AT OUR
CAMERA POSITIONED UP AND OVER
MOUNT CLEMENS AND WE HAVE SEEN
SOME SNOW FLURRIES AND SOME
LOCATIONS, ALTHOUGH NOT SEEING
ANY IN THIS VIEW RIGHT NOW,
BRANDON, WHAT’S HEADED OUR WAY
THIS AFTERNOON? A LITTLE LULL IN
THE ACTION, RHONDA, WE HAVE A
DRY SLOT OVER US, WHICH IS, YOU
KNOW, IT’S KIND OF LIKE THE EYE
OF THE HURRICANE. JUST NOT MUCH
HAPPENING IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.
SO WE TALK ABOUT TEMPERATURES
FOR WHAT’S TO COME AND WHAT WILL
IT BE, AND IT LOOKS MORE AND
MORE LIKE THESE LOWER THIRTIES
UP NORTH WILL SUPPORT MORE SNOW
ALONG IN NORTH OF M 59, BUT WE
HAVE UPPER THIRTIES TO NEAR 40,
SOUTH OF 10, MILE, PRETTY
HEALTHY BREEZE OUT OF THE EAST
NORTHEAST, SO OUR WINDCHILLS ARE
STILL IN THE TWENTIES TO NEAR 30
, IF YOU HAVE TO HEAD OUT AND
ABOUT FOR A LITTLE BIT EXACT
TRACK, 40 SHOWS JUST A COUPLE OF
LIGHT FLAKES AND SNOW SHOWERS TO
OUR NORTH AND THIS WINTRY MIX
SOUTH IS STRUGGLING TO GET GOING
AS AGAIN THE DRY AIR IS KIND OF
HOLDING STEADY, AT LEAST FOR
NOW, BUT WE’RE GOING TO SEE A
MORE OF A PUSH OF WET WEATHER IN
THE FORM OF RAIN AND SNOW
THROUGH THE LATER AFTERNOON,
HOURS AFTER 34 P. M. SHOULD BE
SNOW PRIMARILY AGAIN NORTH OF
THEM 59 BUT COULD GET SOME RAIN
DROPS MIXED IN WITH THESE UPPER
THIRTIES EVEN HEAVIER, MAYBE
MEASURABLE SNOW LATER TONIGHT,
RHONDA MORE ON THAT COMING UP.
ALL RIGHT, BRANDON. THANK YOU.
NOW HERE AT NOON, FERNDALE HIGH
SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL ARE ON
LOCKDOWN AGAIN BECAUSE OF
ANOTHER SCHOOL THREAT. THE
DISTRICT SAYS A HANDWRITTEN NOTE
WAS FOUND IN A BATHROOM. THERE
WAS ALREADY AN INCREASED POLICE
PRESENCE AT THE SCHOOLS BECAUSE
OF THREATS THAT CANCELED CLASSES
YESTERDAY AT 16 YEAR OLD FEMALE
STUDENT WAS ARRESTED FOR MAKING
THAT THREAT ON SOCIAL MEDIA OVER
THE WEEKEND. THE DISTRICT WANTS
TO REMIND EVERYONE MAKING A
SCHOOL THREAT IS A 20 YEAR
FELONY AND CAN CARRY A $20,000
FINE. ALL EYES ARE ON MARA LAGO
TONIGHT, WHERE FORMER PRESIDENT
TRUMP IS EXPECTED TO LAUNCH HIS
THIRD CAMPAIGN. FROM THE WHITE
HOUSE OR FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. I
SHOULD SAY THAT’S TONIGHT HE IS
LOOKING TO MOVE ON FROM MIDTERM
DEFEATS AS SIGNS SHOW HIS GRIP
ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MAY BE
WANING. LET’S GET DEBRIS JACKSON
. SHE JOINS US NOW FROM
WASHINGTON, WHERE DEMOCRATS
PICKED UP ANOTHER BIG WIN LAST
NIGHT. DEMOCRATS WILL HOLD ONTO
THE SENATE, BUT SEVERAL HOUSE
RACES ARE YET TO BE CALLED.
PRESIDENT BIDEN MEETING WITH
WORLD LEADERS OVERSEAS, TACKLING
GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND
CLIMATE INITIATIVES AT THE G 20
SUMMIT TODAY. TODAY WE’RE
FOCUSED ON INVESTING TOGETHER
THE PRESIDENT ALSO USING HIS
TIME ON THE WORLD STAGE TO SEND
A STRONG MESSAGE ABOUT THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS WE SAW WAS THE
STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY, AND WE SAW
IT IN ACTION RESULTING IN
DEMOCRATS CLINCHING THE MAJORITY
IN THE SENATE, THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE STEP BACK FROM THE
PRECIPICE AND SHOWS PROGRESS AND
GETTING THINGS DONE. RATHER THAN
THE VOICES OF DIVISIVENESS,
NASTINESS AND LACK OF COMPLETE
TRUTH AND HONOR. DESPITE BEING
IN THE MINORITY SENATE
REPUBLICANS ARE VOWING TO DO
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BLOCK WHAT
THEY CALL RECKLESS POLICIES,
BLAMING DEMOCRATS FOR ISSUES
LIKE RISING CRIME AND INFLATION
. WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT HARD FOR
THE AMERICAN FAMILIES, THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS LEAVING BEHIND
, WHILE SOME HOUSE RACES ARE
STILL TOO CLOSE TO CALL.
REPUBLICANS APPEAR ON THE VERGE
OF A TAKEOVER. AND ARE CONFIDENT
THEY’LL HOLD A SLIM MAJORITY
LEADERSHIP ROLES ON THE AGENDA
TODAY IN A CLOSED DOOR ELECTION
, BUT REPUBLICANS ARE STILL
WRESTLING WITH MIDTERM ELECTION
LOSSES. SOME ARE POINTING THE
FINGER AT FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
AND DISCUSSING MOVING THE PARTY
FORWARD WITHOUT HIM. MR TRUMP IS
EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE ANOTHER RUN
FOR THE WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT.
FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS
EXPECTED TO MAKE A SPEECH ABOUT
HIS POLITICAL FUTURE FROM HIS
MARA LAGO ESTATE IN FLORIDA AND
WASHINGTON. I’M BREE JACKSON FOR
NBC NEWS. ALRIGHT, BREATHE.
THANK YOU. WE WILL BE FOLLOWING
THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE FORMER
PRESIDENT TONIGHT, AND WE’LL
HAVE AN UPDATE ON LOCAL 4 NEWS
TONIGHT AT 11. WHILE CREWS IN
WARREN HAVE REPAIRED A SINKHOLE
THAT WAS PUTTING A BUSY ROAD IN
DANGER OF COLLAPSING. THIS IS
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE A LONG 10
MILE. THIS IS 10 MILE ROAD NEAR
MOUND IN WARRANT THAT SINKHOLE
FORMED ABOUT 50 FT FROM
SOMEONE’S HOUSE COUNTY, SAYS A
30 FT LONG PORTION OF THE METAL
PIPE AT THE NEARBY BEAR CREEK
DRAIN. IT ROTTED AND STORMWATER
GOT THROUGH AND CAUSED SOME OF
THAT GRAVEL AND DIRT UNDERNEATH
TO WASH AWAY. THERE’S A VIEW FOR
YOU RIGHT THERE. THAT’S WHAT
CAUSED THE SINKHOLE CREWS WERE
ABLE TO FILL THE HOLES AND SEAL
UP THAT MASSIVE PIPE. THE
PROJECT IS EXPECTED TO BE
FINISHED SOON. A GROUP OF
PARENTS IS PLANNING LEGAL ACTION
AGAINST THE DEARBORN SCHOOL
DISTRICT. THIS COMES AFTER THE
SCHOOL BOARD VOTED TO BAN SOME
BOOKS THAT WERE CAUSING
CONTROVERSY IN THE COMMUNITY.
SOME BOOKS WILL BE WRITTEN MOVE
FROM THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LIBRARY
AND ONLY BE IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.
ASIDE FROM THE LAWSUIT,
CONCERNED PARENTS HAVE ONE
CHALLENGE LEFT. THEY CAN ASK FOR
A COMMITTEE WHO WOULD THEN READ
THE BOOKS DISCUSS THEM DECIDE
WHETHER THEY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE
IN THE SCHOOLS OR NOT. FIRE HUM
