McEvoy shows us how it all went down Co
Co we all know parking in Ann Arbor can
be frustrating and difficult and that
led to a scary altercation this week
this is one of the busiest areas in Ann
Arbor filled with shoppers residents and
students like John pêche Naru he saw
lots of commotion Monday night and a lot
of fire trucks a lot of police vehicles
rushing to the scene
didn't find out until a little bit later
what exactly it happened there was a
shooting in the middle of the streets
over a parking spot this incident all
unfolded on the University of Michigan
campus Monday night let's show you
exactly where this happened
police say Jacob LaBelle was parked
right in this area on North University
and South State streets outside of

back to you so KOCO what do we know if
anything about the delivery truck driver
and how he's doing after being shot in
the stomach
yes Kimberly so we know the delivery
truck driver is a 43 year old man from
Ohio
at last check he's doing much better of
course he's in serious condition as you
heard the prosecutors say he's really
lucky to be alive but they say he is up
and talking
all right Coco Devon well several
Bloomfield Hills High School students
are in some big trouble tonight right at
the end of the school year district says
they hacked into the district student
information system to tweak grades and a
whole lot more larry spruill live at the
high school right now and he's talked to
the superintendent today Larry yeah
Devon we talked one-on-one for about 20
minutes today and he tells me that they
just found out about this spot a couple
of weeks ago he says the students used
her laptops to break into this main
system several Bloomfield Hills High
School students are in trouble Thursday
after they hacked to the main system
school leaders say they changed grades
attendance records and refunded lunch
purchases well it's always disappointing
when you find out that your students
have done something that you don't teach
that isn't part of your core values and
society's core values and that's my
first sensibility was to be offended by
that superintendent Robert glass sent
out an email informing the school
district about what happened and how
since then they were able to identify
the students behind the hack one of our
employees who uses the system noticed
something unusual and when upon logging
in and then asked some questions
referred it to our helpdesk they started
digging and found out what was going on
now dr. glass tells me due to privacy
laws they could not release the names of
the students involved but he did want to
address the issue head-on were laying
this message we wanted to be proactive
and let people know what we knew what we
were doing about it to give them comfort
to give them a sense of order
instability so that their minds weren't
filling in the blanks with things that
they may have wondered about we owe it
to that right to tell them what's
happened what we're doing about it how
we're making things right with everyone
and although we do not know the
punishment the students are facing we do
know that they are looking at federal
charges and once again the school
district is working with law enforcement
we're live in Blue Hills High School
tonight Larry spruill local 4 Larry I'm
assuming that the the grades the
attendance records that it's all been
changed back now
whatever that did take some time for
than the figure out who was behind it
and what all happened here but they did
change the grades and the intendant's
records back I'm just in time at the end
of the year all right Larry we're
following a developing story on the Big
Island of Hawaii
Kilauea erupted from its summit crater
earlier this morning sending ash 30,000
feet into the air take a look at this
time lapse video of the eruption
captured by an observation tower webcam
thankfully the explosion only lasted a
few minutes and the ash coverage was
minimal
this comes after at least 125 shallow
earthquakes shook Kilauea summit crater
yesterday
although these quakes didn't really do
much damn it damage it fuels belief that
a massive steam explosion is indeed
imminent a Taylor in Livonia accused of
sexually assaulting several men while
fitting them for work uniforms has been
arraigned on new charges 57 year-old
Magette was he was a tailor at Ali
Brothers uniforms on Middle Belt Road
previously arraigned on two separate
counts back in March but now faces seven
new counts of fourth degree criminal
sexual conduct the new charges stem from
alleged incidents that occurred between
March 30th and April 9th victims between
the ages of 33 and 69 Wasley will be
back in court on May 31st a dangerous
hazard has just been sitting there for
weeks along the side of the street on
Detroit's east side this light pole was
down three weeks ago during the
windstorm and it's just been sitting
there ever since
what's happening on beacons field near
outer Drive and as our Shawn Leigh shows
us it has neighbors worried for two
specific reasons neighbors here on
Beaconsfield tell us this light pole
fell about three weeks ago during that
windstorm as you can see it's still down
grass is now growing over it the problem
is this is the only light for this
stretch of beacons field and neighbors
here rely on
they're sprucing up lawns on
Beaconsfield getting set to take prom
pictures tomorrow night some might take
a street light for granted but not here
the one pole that lights this block blew
down three weeks ago and it is still
down what do you think when you look at
this dangerous for the kids you have
kids that walk to school you have kids
that's younger that play they came right
they bikes on this side
Sheila Calvin got a sex offender alert
on her phone today there are condoms
near the down pole next to a burned-out
house kids are all over in protecting
those kids is the number one priority
here and the light is a big part of that
protection so what would it mean to get
the light back it will mean our main
concern in our community is safety
we have kids miss community we we love
our kids and we love this community but
we can't let our kids come home unsafe
detroit public lighting says they never
knew about the poll because neighbors
called DTE instead it's unclear DT he
didn't alert public lighting but now
help is on the way to bring light back
to a block that doesn't need to be in
the dark so the kids need to be
protected they most certainly do so here
is the very latest we've been on the
phone today with public lighting they
have a crew right there on beacons field
right now removing the old pole the new
pole and light will be up by the time it
gets dark tomorrow or at the latest on
Monday Detroit public lighting urging
neighbors and taking this opportunity to
say they get poles back up between three
to five days so they want people to
report problems the number for Detroit
public lighting three one three three to
four eighty to ninety or you can report
problems to PLA Detroit org if you have
internet access but light will be
shining there again on Beaconsfield soon
Kimberly so Sean have neighbors and
they've been doing anything differently
without that streetlight for the past
what three weeks now they really have
there's lots of kids on the street
they've been keeping them far away from
it since it does cover a sidewalk also
when it gets dark kids inside it gets
very dark in that stretch that's the
only light so they rely on it so kids
inside at night in this summertime so
they're getting ready to play outside so
the
the lights very important to them yeah
as I said very dangerous okay Sean
thanks and while that power pole belongs
to Detroit public lighting DTE
Infrastructure got hit just as hard
during that storm ahead at 6:00 we're
headed out with DTE crews as they make
badly needed improvements aimed at
keeping the lights on
