STAND RIGHT NOW. WE JUST LEARNED
1/7 PERSON INJURED IN THE
SHOOTING HAS DIED. THE SUSPECT
REMAINS IN CUSTODY AND HAS BEEN
TALKING WITH INVESTIGATORS.
PLEASE STILL BELIEVE HE ACTED
ALONE AND FIRED RANDOMLY INTO
THE CROWD. THEY STILL CANNOT
COMMENT ON A MOTIVE, BUT THEY
HAVE BEEN SHARING NEW DETAILS
ABOUT HIS ATTEMPTS TO ESCAPE
KIMBERLY GILL IN THE NEWSROOM
WITH THAT PART OF THE STORY FOR
US, KAREN GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU
BEFORE WE GET TO THE
INVESTIGATION, LET’S NOT FORGET
THE FAMILIES AFFECTED BY THIS
TRAGEDY. AS YOU SAID SEVEN
PEOPLE HAVE NOW DIED IN ANOTHER
30 WERE INJURED BY GUNFIRE JUST
BECAUSE THEY DECIDED TO ATTEND
THIS FOURTH OF JULY PARADE.
THEIR COMMUNITY IS RALLYING
AROUND THEM AS POLICE TRY TO
BUILD A CASE AGAINST THEIR
SUSPECT. WHO BY THE WAY, HAS NOT
YET BEEN CHARGED. NOW POLICE
HAVE REVEALED NEW DETAILS
THROUGH THE DAY, FOR EXAMPLE, WE
KNOW THE SHOOTER FIRED MORE THAN
70 ROUNDS WITH AN AR 15 STYLE
GUN. INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE HE
USED A LADDER TO GET TO THE TOP
OF THE LOCAL BUSINESS IN
HIGHLAND PARK. AND FIRED FROM
THE ROOF. THEN THEY SAY HE
DRESSED AS A WOMAN TO BLEND INTO
THE CROWD, AS DOZENS OF PARADE
GOERS WERE RUNNING FOR THEIR
LIVES. POLICE ARE ALSO REVIEWING
THE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS OF THE
YOUNG MAN WHO HAS BEEN
IDENTIFIED AS ROBERT CREMO, THE
THIRD THEY SAY THIS
INVESTIGATION WILL BE DELIBERATE
AND THOROUGH. WE’RE GOING TO

PAUSE A DAY TO REMEMBER THOSE
WHO LEFT US THOSE WHO ARE
INJURED AND FOR STRENGTH FOR OUR
COMMUNITY. AND THAT LAST COMMENT
THERE WAS FROM THE MAYOR OF
HIGHLAND PARK, ILLINOIS. SHE
TOLD THE TODAY SHOW THAT SHE
KNEW THE SUSPECT WHEN HE WAS A
CUB SCOUT, AND SHE WAS A SCOUT
LEADER, LEAVING HER TO WONDER
HOW HE COULD END UP IN THE
POSITION TODAY, A SUSPECT IN A
MASS SHOOTING, SO I WANT TO
POINT OUT AGAIN ONE MORE TIME.

MAYBE A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN.
METEOROLOGIST ANDREW HUMPHREY
WILL WALK US THROUGH WHAT WE CAN
EXPECT A ANDREW HEY THERE,
KAREN. AND ON YOUR TUESDAY, YES
, THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY HAVE
RETURNED. THAT’S WHAT THE HELP
OF A LOT OF SUNSHINE THAT’S NOW
BROKEN OUT. WE’VE NOW MADE UP TO
90 DEGREES OVER AT METRO AIRPORT
CITY AIRPORT AT 91. TEMPERATURES
ARE WELL INTO THE EIGHTIES FROM
SANDUSKY DOWN TO THE OHIO BORDER
WITH 81 DEGREES IN SANDUSKY
ITSELF, 84 FOR OUR NEIGHBORS
IMPORT HURON, 86, ANN ARBOR AND
85 ADRIAN. BUT IT’S NOT ONLY
ABOUT HOW HOT IT IS. IT’S ABOUT
HOW HARD IT FEELS. YOU CAN SEE
THE HUMIDITY IN THE ATMOSPHERE
AS WE LOOK AT A HAZY DOWNTOWN
DETROIT 90 DEGREES RIGHT NOW DO
POINTS ARE DOWNRIGHT TROPICAL.
71 IS THE CURRENT DO POINT. YOU
KNOW, THERE’S A LOT OF MOISTURE
IN THE AIR WHEN YOU HAVE TWO
POINTS IN THE SEVENTIES, AND YOU
IT MAKES IT FEEL LIKE IT’S
AROUND 96. SO FOR THE REST OF
THE DAY, WHEN YOU VENTURE
OUTDOORS AS ALWAYS LIMIT
STRENUOUS ACTIVITY. STAY
HYDRATED, KEEP CHILDREN AND PETS
AWAY FROM EMPTY VEHICLES. NOW
THAT HE MADE HIS LEADING TO SOME
INSTABILITY, SHOWER AND
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS
INDIANA, AND THAT’S NOT GOING TO
BOTHER US. BUT ANYTHING DEVELOPS
HERE FURTHER OUT TO OUR WEST
ACROSS AREAS LIKE CHICAGO,
SOUTHERN LAKE MICHIGAN. IT HAS A
CHANCE OF STRIKING US LATER ON
TONIGHT, MAINLY SOUTH OF I 94 SO
WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT AND YOUR
SEVEN DAY FORECAST IN MINUTES.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, ANDREW.
NOW, WITH THE END OF THE LONG
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, THE SKY IS
GETTING A LITTLE FRIENDLIER HER
PASSENGERS ABOUT 2000 FLIGHTS
WERE CANCELED BETWEEN THURSDAY
AND SUNDAY, ACCORDING TO THE
TRACKING SITE FLIGHT AWARE
YESTERDAY. THAT NUMBER WAS DOWN
TO JUST OVER 200. WE’RE NOT OUT
OF THE WOODS YET, THOUGH, THIS
MORNING THE NUMBER OF
CANCELATIONS WAS 1 86. IT WAS UP
TO 451 THE LAST TIME WE CHECKED.
TRAVEL EXPERTS WARNING, STAFFING
SHORTAGES AND ANY BOUTS OF BAD
WEATHER COULD STRAIN THE SYSTEM
THROUGHOUT THE BUSY SUMMER
SEASON, SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY FOR
TRAVEL NEWS THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU
FEEL A LITTLE BETTER AT THE GAS
PUMP, ACCORDING TO TRIPLE A THE
AUTO CLUB, SAYS THE STATE
AVERAGE IN MICHIGAN DROPPED 11
CENTS IN THE PAST WEEK DOWN TO 4
94 PER GALLON. IT’S NICE TO SEE
THAT AVERAGE BELOW FIVE BUCKS,
BUT JUST A YEAR AGO FOR
PERSPECTIVE, IT WAS ABOUT 3 20.
THE METRO DETROIT AVERAGE IS
STILL HIGHER THAN THE STATES
COMING IN AT ABOUT 504,
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE.
TONIGHT AT FIVE. WE ARE ASKING
QUESTIONS ABOUT WHY THE PRICES
ARE COMING DOWN. SEE WHAT WE
FIND OUT. LOCAL CHEERLEADERS.
DREAM IS COMING TRUE, AND HER
ENTIRE TEAM HAS SOMETHING TO
CHEER ABOUT. THANKS TO HER
EFFORTS, THE 11 YEAR OLD WAS
HOPING TO HEAD TO NATIONAL CHAIR
EVENTS THIS SUMMER, BUT MONEY
WAS A PROBLEM. MANY OF US CAN
RELATE THESE DAYS, SO SHE TOOK
THE IDEA OF RUNNING A LEMONADE
STAND IN A NEW DIRECTION AND OH,
DID IT PAY OFF? THIS 11 YEAR OLD
ALREADY HAD A PLAN. SHE WANTED
TO DO ELIMINATE STAND, BUT SHE
NEEDED A PLACE TO DO IT, AND
THAT’S WHEN A LOCAL BUSINESS IN
THE WALLED LAKE COMMUNITY
STEPPED UP THE AMBITIOUS KENDALL
BARNETT. SHE GETS SEVERE
HEADACHES AND HER MOTHER,
JENNIFER, SAYS THE OUTCOME CAN
DIFFER. WHERE SHE DROPS. CAN’T
TALK. CAN’T SPEAK MIGRAINE
SCREAMING. AND YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT’S GOING ON, AND SHE CAN’T
ARTICULATE HERSELF OR THERE’S
TIMES WHEN SHE CAN FEEL IT
COMING ON, AND WE CAN TAKE THE
MEASURES TO PREVENT IT. CHEER IS
ONE OF THE ONLY ACTIVITIES THE
11 YEAR OLD HAS BEEN ABLE TO GET
INTO, LIKE PLENTY FULL OF SPORTS
, AND THEY ALL LIKE SUPER
AGGRESSIVE. AND THAT JUST
TRICKLES MY MIND. GRAINS FUTURE
IN THIS BOARD WAS IN JEOPARDY
WHEN HER MOTHER GOT THE BILL FOR
THIS SEASON, AND WE SAW THAT THE
TEAM SHE WAS PLACED ON THE
PRICES HAVE TRIPLED. THAT’S
MONEY THEY DIDN’T HAVE. SO THEY
DECIDED TO RAISE MONEY WITH THE
LEMONADE STAND. THEY REACHED OUT
TO GREENHOUSE OF WILD LAKE THAT
SITS AT A BUSY CORNER FOR FOOT
TRAFFIC. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP
THEM? THEY WANTED TO SET UP A
LEMONADE STAND. HOW DOES THAT
HURT ME? DOESN’T BUSINESS TOOK
OFF FROM THERE TO DONATE LIKE A
DALEK STILL LIKE, MAKES A BIG
DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THAT LIKE
PILES, AND, UH AND THEN SOMEONE
DONATE FIVE. SOME WOULD DONATE
10 AND SOME PEOPLE DONATE A LOT
. THE GOAL WAS $3000. AND BY THE
END OF IT, SHE RAISED $2000.
GREENHOUSE OF WALLED LAKE
COVERED THE REST, THEN ELITE
SPORTS WHERE OUT OF PENNSYLVANIA
HEARD ABOUT THE LEMONADE STAND
AND DONATED $10,000 WORTH OF
PRACTICE GEAR. SHE CAME OUT HERE
TO STAY IN CHEERLEADING, BUT
SHE’S NOT ONLY HELPED HERSELF,
BUT SHE HELPED OUT ALL OF HER
TEAMMATES, SO I HOPE HER
TEAMMATES REALLY UNDERSTAND.
KENDALL WAS OUT HERE IN 92
DEGREE WEATHER, BUSTING HER BUTT
TO RAISE MONEY AND GETTING THEM
FOR YEARS. GRATEFUL FOR IT. IT’S
JUST LIKE SO MUCH TO TAKE IN.
IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. KENDALL’S
CHAIR SEASON IS ALREADY UNDERWAY
. THERE’S A LIST OF COMPETITION
SHE’S EXCITED FOR IN WALLED
LAKE. I’M MEGAN WOODS LOCAL 4.
ALL CANDLES. GOOD THINGS IN
STORE FOR YOU. I AM SURE AND
