BREAK NEWS TONIGHT. OFF THE TOP HERE COMING TO US FROM NOVI, WHERE A MAN IS RUSHED TO THE
HOSPITAL AFTER BEING SHOT. GLAD
YOU’RE WITH US. I’M
DEVIN SCILLIAN GIL OR TIM
PAMPLIN IS ON THE SCENE WITH THE
NIGHT CAM TIM. YOU GUYS WERE
JUST ARRIVING ON THE SCENE HERE.
FOUNTAIN WALK THAT’S OPPOSITE
THE 12 OAKS MALL THERE IN NOVI
THERE, YOU SEE THE VEHICLE, THE
SCAT PACK CHALLENGER. BULLET
HOLES IN THE FRONT DOOR, THE
REAR QUARTER PANEL AND BEING
TOLD THE MAN WAS IN THAT VEHICLE
WHEN TWO MEN APPROACHED, OPENED
FIRE ON HIM STRIKING HIM. HE’S
GONE OFF TO THE HOSPITAL NOT TO
SHOW ON HIS CONDITION. I
UNDERSTAND HE WAS TALKING BY
SOME WITNESSES OUT HERE BUT
AGAIN TO RECAP. FOUNTAIN WALK
PARKING LOT OUTSIDE THE BLACK
ROCK RESTAURANT. AND THEN INSIDE
HIS VERY EXPENSIVE MOTORCAR.
THEY’RE GONE DOWN JUST A SHORT
TIME AGO. WE’RE GOING TO STAY ON
THE SCENE UPDATE OVERNIGHT.
CLICKONDETROIT’S DOT COM THAT’S
THE SCENE RIGHT NOW IN NOVI WITH
THE NIGHT CAM TIM PAMPLIN LOCAL
4 OKAY. TIM, OUR OTHER TOP STORY
. DETROIT MAYOR MIKE DUGGAN LAYS
OUT HIS VISION FOR THE CITY
STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS IS
NEVER SHORT ON DETAIL AND
TONIGHT, NO DIFFERENT WITH A BIG
FOCUS ON DEVELOPMENT. MARA
MACDONALD IS LIVE AT MICHIGAN
CENTRAL STATION FROM WHENCE THIS
ADDRESS ORIGINATED. THE MAYOR
ANNOUNCING A NEW INITIATIVE ALSO
MORROW TO COMBAT CRIME. THAT’S
RIGHT, DEVIN A $10 MILLION
INITIATIVE AND MORE ON THAT IN
JUST A MINUTE, BUT I’LL TELL YOU
WHAT THAT WASN’T THE MOST
INTERESTING THING THAT HAPPENED
HERE TONIGHT. LET ME SHOW YOU.
WELL. GOOD EVENING. AS HAS
BECOME TRADITION. MIKE DUGGAN
TAKES THE STATE OF THE CITY
ADDRESS ON THE ROAD TO SHOWCASE
DIFFERENT PARTS OF DETROIT
TONIGHT TO MICHIGAN CENTRAL
STATION, THE ULTIMATE SYMBOL OF
DETROIT BLIGHT NOW, WITH A
DYNAMIC FUTURE AHEAD OF IT.
WE’RE BUILDING A CORK TOWN FOR
EVERYONE 600 NEW UNITS OF
AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT LAUNCHED
A LARGE PORTION OF THE MAYOR’S
PRESENTATION. HOW THE CITY PLANS
DEMOLITION OF BLIGHTED HOMES
EVER INCREASING HOME VALUES AND
BEAUTIFICATION AND UPGRADES TO
NEIGHBORHOODS LIKE THE JOE LOUIS
GREENWAY, ANOTHER HALLMARK OF
THESE ADDRESSES. SHARING CREDIT
, FOR EXAMPLE, RECOGNIZING
COUNCILWOMAN LETICIA JOHNSON’S
CRUSADE TO HELP LOW INCOME
FAMILIES RENOVATE WE WILL GIVE
YOU THE HOUSE PUT UP TO $75,000
IN DEMAND HOUSE IF YOU PROMISE
TO RENT IT OUT OR SELL IT TO A
PERSON OF LOW INCOME SO WE CAN
MOVE LOW INCOME FAMILIES INTO
THE SINGLE FAMILY HOMES AND MIX
THEM INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS. THE
VAST MAJORITY OF THIS WAS ABOUT
DEVELOPMENT. BUT COMBATING CRIME
IS GOING IN A NEW DIRECTION, THE
KIND OF VIOLENCE THAT WE ARE
SEEING HERE. IS IT’S JUST HARD
TO GET YOUR MIND AROUND THE CITY
IS GOING TO SINK $10 MILLION TO
PARTNER WITH COMMUNITY GROUPS
WITH A TRACK RECORD OF WORKING
WITH THOSE ON THE STREET. THE
IDEA MOBILIZE THESE GROUPS INTO
TARGETED AREAS FOR TWO YEARS
STINTS. THE CITY IS ASKING FOR
OUR FPS STARTING TOMORROW, AND I
DIDN’T EXPECT A PRIMER ON TAX
POLICY AND STRATEGY. BUT THAT
WAS PROBABLY THE MOST
INTERESTING PART OF TONIGHT. THE
WITCHES ARE ASKING FOR 800
MILLION IN INCENTIVES FOR MORE
WORK ON DISTRICT DETROIT IN A
PARTNERSHIP WITH STEPHEN ROSS,
IT HAS REALLY GENERATED
RESENTMENT. THE CONTENTIOUS
ISSUE SITS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
ASKING FOR $800 MILLION AND TEXT
DISCOUNTS OVER THE NEXT 35
YEARS. HOW MUCH IS THAT GONNA
COST ME? WELL. IF YOU’RE A CITY
TO TRY TAXPAYERS GOING TO COST
YOU ZERO COMING OUT OF DETROIT
SCHOOL TAXES ZERO. COMING OUT OF
DETROIT LIBRARY TAXES. ZERO BACK
HERE LIVE. I THINK IT IS VERY
TELLING THAT THE MAYOR WOULD
DEVOTE A PORTION OF TONIGHT’S
ADDRESS TO TALK ABOUT TAX
INCENTIVES, TAX ABATEMENTS AND
SPECIFICALLY, CALL OUT THIS
PROJECT. I THINK IT GIVES YOU AN
IDEA OF HOW CONTENTIOUS THIS
PROCESS IS LIKELY TO BE AT
DETROIT CITY COUNCIL. WE’RE LIVE
IN CORK TOWN TONIGHT, AMARA
MCDONALD. LOCAL 4 INTERESTING
MARA, THOUGH, BECAUSE HE ALSO
REALLY TOOK PAINS TO KIND OF
REACH OUT AND I THINK NATE BY
COUNCIL MEMBER BY COUNCIL MEMBER
TALKED ABOUT A CONTRIBUTION THEY
HAD MADE TO HIS CURRENT PLANS.
THAT WAS INTERESTING, WASN’T IT?
IT SURE WAS, AND IT’S VERY
TYPICAL OF THESE ADDRESSES. HE
IS ALL ABOUT SHARING CREDIT WITH
THE COUNCIL, AND IT’S BEEN LIKE
THAT SINCE HIS FIRST YOU KNOW,
STATE OF THE CITY ADDRESS WHERE
WE WAS ESSENTIALLY WITH THE
YELLOW LEGAL PAD AND A PEN. UM
THESE ADDRESSES HAVE REALLY COME
A LONG WAY FROM THE GUY WITH THE
TIE ON WITH A PENNY BEHIND HIS
EAR. YOU KNOW, FREESTYLING IT,
UM BUT YEAH, IT’S ALWAYS A
HOMEWORK IN DAYS GONE. HE’S GONE
FULL MULTIMEDIA SINCE THEN,
THAT’S FOR SURE. ALL RIGHT, MARA
. MEANWHILE, AQUI HEARING TODAY
FOR THE PARENTS OF THE OXFORD
HIGH SCHOOL SHOOTER COURT IS
DECIDING IF JENNIFER AND JAMES
CRUMBLEY SHOULD STAND TRIAL ON
INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER CHARGES
. THE CRUMBLY IS WERE INITIALLY
ORDERED TO STAY IN TRIAL UNTIL
THE STATE SUPREME COURT TOLD AN
APPEALS COURT TO TAKE ANOTHER
LOOK TODAY, PROSECUTORS ARGUED
ETHAN CRUMBLEY EXTREME DRAWINGS
AND FASCINATION WITH GUNS SHOULD
HAVE BEEN A WAKE UP CALL.
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS SAY THERE
WASN’T A WAY TO KNOW THEIR SON
WOULD BECOME A SHOOTER. WHAT
WE’RE DOING IS LOOKING AT THIS
CASE BACKWARDS THROUGH A LENS OF
WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED, WHAT
COULD HAVE HAPPENED? WHAT WOULD
HAVE CHANGED THINGS HAD THINGS
HAPPENED AND THAT’S NOT THE WAY
OUR LAW. I DON’T THINK THAT’S
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT. WHAT
WE’RE LOOKING AT IS WHAT ACTIONS
OR INACTIONS DID THE TWO
DEFENDANTS HAVE THAT LED TO
THIS? SHOOTING. JAMES AND
JENNIFER CRUMBLEY, EACH PHASE
FOUR COUNTS OF INVOLUNTARY
MANSLAUGHTER AT THE SAME TIME.
AT THAT HEARING, FAMILIES OF THE
VICTIMS SPOKE OUT ABOUT THE
RECENT COURT RULING THAT THEY
HAVE ALL FILED SEVERAL LAWSUITS
CLAIMING THE DISTRICT AND ITS
EMPLOYEES IGNORED CLEAR WARNING
SIGNS. HE DIDN’T WALK INTO THE
SCHOOL WITH GUNS A BLAZING HE
WALKED OUT OF THE COUNSELING
OFFICE WITH GUNS A BLAZING WHO
IS THE IMMEDIATE COST. I THINK
YOU CAN MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT
THE SCHOOL IS THE IMMEDIATE
COST. BUT WE CAN’T MAKE THAT
ARGUMENT. BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT
DOESN’T WANT TO BE TESTED. THAT
WAS IN RESPONSE TO THE FACT THAT
LATE LAST WEEK, A JUDGE RULED
THE OXFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT AND
ITS EMPLOYEES CANNOT BE SUED FOR
THE SHOOTING, SAYING THEY HAVE
GOVERNMENT IMMUNITY. NEW
DEVELOPMENTS TONIGHT OUT OF
ROSEVILLE IN A SHOOTING THAT
UNFOLDED OUTSIDE AN ELEMENTARY
MIDDLE SCHOOL THERE. WE NOW KNOW
THE TEENAGER CHARGED IN THE
SHOOTING. WAS A FORMER STUDENT
AT ROSEVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL. HIS
ACTIONS CAUGHT ON CELL PHONE
VIDEO. PAMELA OSBORNE JOINS US
NOW LIVE WITH THAT CHILLING
VIDEO CLIP. PAMELA. KIMBERLY AND
DEVON. THAT 13 YEAR OLD MAY HAVE
ATTENDED ROSEVILLE MIDDLE
SCHOOL, BUT HE WAS NOT WELCOME
HERE. AUTHORITIES SAY HE HAD
BEEN KICKED OUT OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT ENTIRELY AND WAS
TRESPASSING WHEN HE SHOT A MAN
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT. TAKE A LOOK.
YESTERDAY WAS CRAZY. VIDEO IS
SHOCKING. THOSE TWO SHOTS FIRED
BY A 13 YEAR OLD AT THE CORNER
OF CHESTNUT AND BARK MINT MONDAY
AFTERNOON, RIGHT OUTSIDE OF
ROSEVILLE, MIDDLE AND STEENLAND
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, PEOPLE LIKE
DUCK AND THE POOR KIDS FROM THE
MIDDLE SCHOOL. I SAW THEM
RUNNING DEBORAH SOCIAL LIVES
ACROSS THE STREET. HE WAS AT THE
CORNER HERE, AND I SAW HIM
RUNNING THIS WAY. POLICE QUICKLY
CAUGHT UP WITH THAT 13 YEAR OLD
GUNMAN WHO WE’VE LEARNED WAS A
FORMER ROSEVILLE MIDDLE SCHOOL
STUDENTS WHO HAD BEEN EXPELLED,
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE TEAM
SHOWED UP TO SCHOOL AROUND THREE
O’CLOCK WITH A LOADED GUN. THEY
SAY HE WAS TRYING TO PICK A
FIGHT WITH STUDENTS AROUND
DISMISSAL TIME WHEN A 40 YEAR
OLD MAN THERE TO PICK UP A
STUDENT TRIED TO INTERVENE. I’M
A PARENT, A GRANDPARENT. I WOULD
HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. THE
TEAM SHOOTER POINTED THE GUN AT
HIM AND FIRED. HE WAS SHOT TWICE
. BUT I DO PRAY FOR THE DAD.
HOPEFULLY HE MAKES THE SMOOTH
RECOVERY. THEIR THOUGHTS ARE
WITH THAT GOOD SAMARITAN, BUT
THEY ALSO CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER
HOW THIS HAPPENED TO BEGIN WITH
. I THINK THAT’S INSANE. I LIKE
TO KNOW WHERE HE GOT THE GUN. I
LIKE TO KNOW WHAT HIS PARENTS
HAVE DONE IN THE PAST WITH HIS
BEHAVIOR. BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY HE
HAD SOME ISSUES. AND POLICE ARE
WORKING TO DETERMINE THE ANSWER
TO THAT. VERY QUESTION. HOW DID
THIS TEAM GET HIS HANDS ON THAT
GUN? THEY DID RECOVER IT. HE WAS
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY WHERE HE
REMAINS RIGHT NOW, AND POLICE
ARE SAYING THAT CHARGES COULD
COME TO AT LEAST ONE OTHER
PERSON INVOLVING THIS INCIDENT.
THAT TEENAGER, THOUGH FACING
SEVERAL FELONY CHARGES TONIGHT,
WE’RE TOLD THAT VICTIM THAT WAS
SHOT. AT LAST CHECK WAS IN
STABLE CONDITION. THERE WILL BE
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT HERE AT
ROOSEVELT COMMUNITY SCHOOLS FOR
STUDENTS WHO MAY NEED IT
DISTRICT ALSO TELLING PARENTS TO
EXPECT TO SEE AN INCREASED
POLICE PRESENCE IN THE COMING
DAYS. REPORTING LIVE IN
ROSEVILLE. I’M PAMELA OSBORNE
LOCAL FORCE, EXPLAINING IT ALL
RIGHT, PAM, ALSO IN MACOMB
COUNTY AT 12 YEAR OLD FACING
CHARGES FOR ALLEGEDLY
THREATENING A STUDENT WITH A
KNIFE. THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY
DURING THIRD HOUR AT RICHMOND
MIDDLE SCHOOL, THE STUDENT IS
CHARGED WITH INTENTIONAL THREAT
TO COMMIT AN ACT OF VIOLENCE AND
FOR WEAPONS POSSESSION IN A
WEAPON FREE SCHOOL ZONE. AFTER A
$500 BOND, THE STUDENT WILL BE
ON HOUSE ARREST. THE NEXT COURT
DATE IS SET FOR EARLY APRIL.
POLICE ARE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A
MAN WHO ROBBED A CITIZEN’S BANK
IN TAYLOR YESTERDAY AROUND 10 40
IN THE MORNING, POLICE WERE
NOTIFIED THAT A HEAVIER SET
BLACK MALE IN HIS TWENTIES GAVE
THE TELLER A NOTE SAYING HE HAD
A GUN. THAT MAN STOLE MONEY FROM
TWO SEPARATE REGISTERS, THEN
LEFT THE BANK WITH MORE THAN
$2000. YES WEARING A MASK, BUT
THERE’S GOOD LOOK AT HIM AS
YOU’LL GET SUSPECT, THEN ENTERED
A RED FOUR DOOR SEDAN IN THE
PARKING LOT THAT DID NOT HAVE A
LICENSE PLATE BY THE WAY
DISPLAYED ON IT. TODAY GOVERNOR
GRETCHEN WHITMER JOINED MEMBERS
OF THE MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE TO
SIGN THE LOWERING MICHIGAN COSTS
PLAN INTO LAW. THE PLANE WILL
PROVIDE A BILLION DOLLAR TAX
BREAK FOR SENIORS AND WORKING
FAMILIES. IT ALSO QUINN TOPPLES
THE WORKING FAMILIES TAX CREDIT,
WHICH WILL BRING AN AVERAGE TAX
REFUND OF MORE THAN $3000 TO
700,000 FAMILIES. THIS WILL
