WDIV’S E. WE’RE WATCHING SOME
BREAKING NEWS FROM DETROIT’S
WEST SIDE, WHERE FIVE PEOPLE
HAVE BEEN RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL
AFTER A VIOLENT CRASH INVOLVING
TWO PICKUP TRUCKS. THIS IS THE
SENIOR PAUL AVENUE AND PIEDMONT
STREET NORTH OF FORD ROAD, AND
IT’S ACTUALLY WEST OF THE
SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY. BUT YOU CAN
SEE HOW BAD THIS IS THE TRUCKS
CRASHING AND THEN INTO A POWER
POLE, CAUSING THE POWER LINES TO
COME DOWN. DETROIT FIRE DETROIT
POLICE AND DTE ALL RESPONDING TO
THE SCENE RIGHT NOW, IT’S NOT
CLEAR WHAT CAUSED THE CRASH TO
BEGIN WITH, BUT POLICE ARE NOT
RELEASING ANY INFORMATION ON
INJURIES OR THAT CAUSE JUST YET
OUR OTHER TOP STORY HERE AT
FIVE, THE DETROIT BOARD OF
COMMISSIONERS HAS VOTED TO DENY
THE SUSPENSION OF A SERGEANT IN
CONNECTION TO THE FATAL SHOOTING
OF A WOMAN ON DETROIT’S WEST
SIDE. LAST MONTH. SERGEANT WAS
IN CHARGE OF THE OFFICERS WHO
SHOT AND KILLED BECAUSE I AM
MILLER AT A HOME ON MYERS, THE
CHIEF CALLED FOR THE SUSPENSION,
BUT THE BOARD VOTED AGAINST IT.
BROADEN MALONEY SPOKE TO THE
CHIEF LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ROD
JOINS US LIVE NOW I HAVE TO
IMAGINE HE’S NOT HAPPY ABOUT
THIS. WELL IF HE IS, HE DIDN’T
SAY SO. HE SHRUGGED IT OFF AS
PART OF THE PROCESS. BUT HE ALSO
NOTED HE DOES HAVE OTHER
DISCIPLINARY OPTIONS. BUT IT WAS
THE DETROIT POLICE COMMISSION
THAT MET HERE YESTERDAY BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS FOR A VERY LONG
TIME TO MAKE THIS DECISION. IT
HAPPENED HERE AGAIN YESTERDAY.
OCTOBER 14TH ON MYERS STREET,
DPD RESPONDS TO A FRANTIC 911
CALL FROM A MOTHER CONCERNED
ABOUT HER DAUGHTER’S MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES CAME WITH GUNS
DRAWN TO MILLER RAN HER FACEBOOK
LIVE, AND IT SHOWED AN OFFICER
PUTTING HIS RIFLE ON THE GROUND
, AND THAT’S WHEN THE OTHER
OFFICERS MOVED IN. WAIT. MILLER
DID NOT SURVIVE THAT ALTERCATION
CONCERNED ABOUT HOW QUICKLY
OFFICERS MADE THEIR MOVE. CHIEF
JAMES WHITE WANTED TO SUSPEND
THE SERGEANT, I GOT A VERY HIGH
STANDARD FOR SUPERVISORS, THEIR
THEIR, UH, THEIR
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE VERY
DIFFERENT THAN THOSE OF A POLICE
OFFICER. AND UH, AND THAT’S WHY
I MADE THE RECOMMENDATION. AND
YOU KNOW, THE BOARD REACTED THE
WAY THAT THEY DID. DETROIT
POLICE COMMISSIONER RICARDO MORE
SMOKE WITH LOCAL 4 TODAY ABOUT
HIS NO VOTE ON SUSPENDING THE
SERGEANT. IT IS A GREAT GUY. HE
CARES ABOUT THE CITIZENS. HE
CARES ABOUT HIS POLICE
DEPARTMENT. HE DOES. AND I CAN
UNDERSTAND IN THE SPIRIT OF WHY
HE WANTED TO PUT THIS OUT THE
WAY IT IS. I JUST THINK MAYBE IT
WAS DONE A LITTLE BIT TOO SOON.
THE UNNAMED SERGEANT’S UNION
REPRESENTATIVE MARK YOUNG,
ATTENDED YESTERDAY’S HEARING AS
WELL. THIS YOUNG SERGEANT IS ONE
OF THE MOST AWESOME PEOPLE I’VE
EVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING
AND HE’S DEVASTATED BY THAT
WHOLE SITUATION IS NOT JUST WE
NEVER LOOK AT THE LAW
ENFORCEMENT IS BEING VICTIMS,
TOO. NOW COMMISSIONER MORE TOLD
ME THAT THERE ARE BROADER POLICY
ISSUES HERE AT PLAY THAT HE’S
CONCERNED ABOUT, WHICH IS WHAT
SWAYED HIM TO MAKE HIS DECISION
TO GO AGAINST THE CHIEFS
DISCIPLINE, BUT HE WOULDN’T GET
SPECIFIC ABOUT THAT. BUT
EVERYBODY WE SPOKE TO TODAY SAID
THAT MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES ARE A
MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT IS DOING THE
BEST THEY CAN TO SOLVE THEM. BUT
THEY NEED SOME HELP. REPORTING
LIVE DOWNTOWN ROD MELONI SAYING
THAT FOR A WHILE TO OKAY, ROD.
WE APPRECIATE IT AND MORE NEWS
TONIGHT, DEMOCRATS SHAKING UP
THE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATING
CALENDAR AND IOWA WOULD NO
LONGER BE THE FIRST STATE. SOUTH
CAROLINA WOULD ACTUALLY LEAD OFF
THE PRIMARIES, FOLLOWED BY NEW
HAMPSHIRE, NEVADA AND THEN
GEORGIA BATTING CLEANUP WITH
MICHIGAN FOLLOWING BACKERS SAY
THIS LINEUP BETTER REFLECTS THE
DIVERSITY IN THE PARTY. THE MOVE
WOULD STILL NEED TO BE APPROVED
BY THE FULL DNC AND A VOTE
LIKELY NEXT YEAR. MICHIGAN’S
LEGISLATURE ALSO NEEDS TO
APPROVE THAT ALSO HERE AT FIVE
OF 17 YEAR OLD FROM DOWN RIVER,
IS FACING CHARGES FOR BRINGING A
GUN TO SCHOOL IN HIS BACKPACK.
POLICE TELLING US THIS HAPPENED
YESTERDAY AT THE COURSE. HIGH
SCHOOL ON WEST OUTER DRIVE NOT
FAR FROM WEST JEFFERSON. LET’S
BRING IN MEGAN WOODS WITH MORE
ON THE STUDENT WHO ACTUALLY SAW
IT. AND IMMEDIATELY WENT AND
REPORTED IT, MEGAN. YEAH, THAT’S
RIGHT. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEY
DID NOT WANT TO COMMENT, BUT
THEY DID PUT A LETTER OUT ON
FACEBOOK TO FAMILIES EXPLAINING
WHAT HAPPENED, BUT ALSO
EXPLAINING WHAT STUDENTS SHOULD
DO IF THEY SEE ANYTHING LIKE
THIS. ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS LIKE
THIS EVER AGAIN NOW WE TALKED TO
PARENTS AND PEOPLE WHO LIVE
NEARBY, SOME OFF CAMERA AND THEY
ALL SAY THE SAME THING. THEY’RE
HAPPY THAT TRAGEDY WAS AVOIDED,
BUT THEY STILL HAVE SO MANY
CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS. ONE.
WHERE DID THEY GET THE GUN FROM?
IT WASN’T LOCKED UP AT HOME WORK
SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND THEN WHY
BRING IT TO SCHOOL? AND HOW DID
IT GET INTO SCHOOL AFTER EACH
COURSE. PUBLIC SCHOOLS POSTED
THIS LETTER FROM SUPERINTENDENT
DR JOSHUA L. TILSON ON FACEBOOK
YESTERDAY, PARENTS AND PEOPLE IN
THE COMMUNITY STILL HAVE
QUESTIONS, THE LETTER EXPLAINS.
THE GUN WAS IN A STUDENT’S
BACKPACK. ANOTHER STUDENT
REPORTED. IT IS WONDERFUL THAT
THAT STUDENT WASN’T AFRAID TO
COME FORWARD AND DO THE RIGHT
THING. AND HOPEFULLY THE STUDENT
THAT DID THE TELLING GET SOME
KIND OF PRAISE FOR IT FROM THEIR
RECOURSE. POLICE WERE CALLED THE
GUN AND THE STUDENT WHO
ALLEGEDLY BROUGHT IT. WE’RE
TAKING OFF SCHOOL PROPERTY THAT
17 YEAR OLD IS NOW FACING ONE
COUNT OF CARRYING A CONCEALED
WEAPON AND ONE COUNT OF
POSSESSION OF A WEAPON IN A
WEAPONS FREE SCHOOL ZONE WITH A
$4000.10 PERCENT BOND. THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS THEY HAVE
SECURITY SCREENINGS DAILY BUT
ARE REVIEWING IN THAT PROCEDURE
. SOME SAY ALL THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF WHAT HAPPENED
HERE DOESN’T JUST FALL ON THE
SCHOOL. THEIR PARENTS SHOULD BE
CHECKING THEIR BACKPACKS OR
SOMETHING BEFORE THEY GO TO
SCHOOL, YOU KNOW, DOING
SOMETHING? AND WHEN IT COMES TO
SECURITY MEASURES INSIDE THE
SCHOOL, WE SPOKE TO A PARENT WHO
SAYS THERE ARE METAL DETECTORS,
BUT NOT AT EVERY ENTRANCE AND
THAT STAFF DO CHECK BACKPACKS,
BUT NOT AS THOR THOROUGHLY AS
THEY WOULD HAVE HOPED. SO AGAIN
. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS
REVIEWING THE PROCEDURE WHEN IT
COMES TO SECURITY TO MAKE SURE
THAT STUDENTS ARE, YOU KNOW,
SAFE AND MAKE SURE THEY’RE TAKEN
CARE OF WHILE INSIDE LIVE IN E
COURSE I’M MEGAN WOODS LOCAL 4
BUT STILL VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO
BE OVERLOOKED. WE KNOW WHAT CAN
HAPPEN WHEN THESE THINGS DO NOT
GET CHECKED. ALRIGHT, MEGAN,
THANKS. FIVE MICHIGAN STATE
FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN COURT TODAY
TO BE ARRAIGNED ON CHARGES
CONNECTED TO THE BRAWL IN THE
TUNNEL. DE’VEON BROWN, ANGELO
GROSS, JUSTIN WHITE, BRANDON
WRIGHT AND ZION YOUNG WERE ALL
GIVEN PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE
BONDS. ALL OF THEM WERE ORDERED
TO HAVE NO CONTACT WITH ANYONE
CONNECTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN. BERNIE’S HERE WITH US
NOW TO TALK, NOT THE SPARTANS,
BUT THE WOLVERINES. THEY GOT
SOME HIGH HOPES HERE. IT HASN’T
BEEN THE EASIEST OF WEEKS
BECAUSE ESPECIALLY LOSING BLAKE
COURT AT THIS TIME OF YOUR
INTEREST. HE’S ALWAYS GOING TO
MAKE IT DIFFICULT IN ANY OFF THE
FIELD ISSUES LIKE MOZZIE SMITH
ALSO WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT. BUT
MICHIGAN STILL FAVORED BY 16.5
OF A PURDUE IN THE BIG 10 TITLE
GAME TOMORROW IN INDIANAPOLIS,
EIGHT O’CLOCK START. WE’VE GOT
HIGHLIGHTS OF QUORUM TESTED HIS
KNEE AGAINST OHIO STATE, BUT
WATCH FROM THE SIDELINES AFTER
RUNNING THE BALL JUST TWICE.
HE’S GOING TO HAVE KNEE SURGERY
WILL NOT PLAY, BUT DONOVAN
EDWARDS IS GOOD TO GO AND HE
WILL FILL THAT SLOT. AS YOU KNOW
IF MICHIGAN WINS THEY ARE IN THE
COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS FOR
THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW AND THE
ONE THING MICHIGANNATIVE AND
THEY ARE WELL REPRESENTED.

, THEY’RE ALREADY PILING THE
STREETS OF INDIANAPOLIS AS THEY
ANTICIPATE YET A SECOND STRAIGHT
BIG 10 TIMES. IT’S BEGINNING TO
LOOK A LOT LIKE CHAMPIONSHIP
WEEKEND DOWNTOWN INDIANAPOLIS.
YOU CAN WEAR THIS HAT ANYWHERE
IN THE WORLD AND AROUND THIS
COUNTRY AND YOU’RE GOING TO FIND
ANOTHER MICHIGAN FAN AND
MICHIGAN FANS ARE READY TO GO
FOR A SECOND STRAIGHT BIG 10
TITLE THIS WEEKEND. I THINK
WE’VE GOT A BETTER TEAM THIS
YEAR THAN WE DID WE DID LAST
YEAR GAMES OF THIS MAGNITUDE OR
ALWAYS A LITTLE MORE MEANINGFUL.
MICHIGAN’S HERE. THAT’S WHAT YOU
KNOW WE BEAT OHIO STATE. THAT’S
ALL THAT MATTERS. THAT’S WHY
WE’RE HERE. RIGHT SO WE CAN.
YEAH WE WANT THE BIG 10
CHAMPIONSHIP FOR TWO YEARS IN A
ROW NOW. BRINGING IN WOLVERINES
FROM MICHIGAN AND ALSO ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. WE’VE BEEN WATCHING
ALL THE GAMES IN DALLAS WITH
LOTS OF OTHER MICHIGAN FANS

OF IT. BECAUSE I’M OLD ENOUGH TO
KNOW YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN WE’RE
GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER YEAR LIKE
THIS AT 12 AND, OH, THIS IS
ALREADY A DREAM SEASON HEADING
INTO THE BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP. I
THINK IT’S GONNA BE A CLOSE
GAME. I THINK WE’RE ONLY GOING
TO WIN BY ABOUT 30 WITH THE HOPE
OF IT BEING THE START OF AN EVEN
BIGGER JOURNEY AHEAD. I THINK
THEY’RE GOING TO GO ALL THE WAY.
I REALLY THINK THEY’RE CAPABLE
OF DOING IT J. J MCCARTHY AND AN
EVENT LAST JUNE AND TRAVERSE
CITY, AND THAT’S IT, JJ. WE’RE
GOING TO WIN THE BIG TURN AGAIN.
THIS YEAR, HE LOOKED AT ME WITH
DISGUST AND HE GOES. MEHDI. THEY
