DRAMATIC VIDEO TONIGHT SHOWING A
TOW TRUCK LOSING CONTROL IN
ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND THEN
PLOWING. LOOK AT THAT RIGHT INTO
A BUSINESS. SHAWN LEY LIVE WITH
INFORMATION ON WHAT STARTED ALL
OF THIS AND A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
DAMAGE, SEAN. GUNFIRE STARTED
ALL THIS SO MANY PEOPLE COULD
HAVE BEEN HURT. THANK GOODNESS
NO ONE WAS. BUT LOOK, THIS
BUSINESS HERE WAS A BRAND NEW
FRONT AS THEY WORK ON THE INSIDE
THAT TRUCK YOU SAW THE RED ONE
WILL SHOW YOU THE VIDEO A LOT
HERE. IT RAN INTO THIS SIDE OF
THE BUSINESS. YOU CAN SEE. THIS
WHOLE AREA NOW IS GONE FROM THIS
BUSINESS WILL HAVE TO REBUILD
AND GUNSHOTS COMING FROM THIS
DIRECTION LED TO ALL THIS. I SAW
THE WHOLE BUILDING WAS GOING
DOWN A TRUCK SPEEDING THE WRONG
WAY INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC DOWN
WOODWARD AVENUE, JUST PAST SEVEN
MILES, THE DRIVER OF THAT WHITE
CAR TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE
TRUCKS WAY THERE’S A COLLISION
AND WATCH AGAIN THAT TOW TRUCK
GOES TUMBLING RIGHT INTO HASSAN
VIA ITS BUILDING. WE WERE JUST
INSIDE. WE WERE JUST WORKING ON
THE BUILDING. THE DRIVER OF THAT
TRUCK COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE.
BUT FAYYAD SAYS THE DRIVER AND
FEMALE PASSENGER WE’RE TRYING TO
SAVE THEIR OWN LIVES. THEY WERE
BEING PURSUED AND BEING SHOT AT
. THAT WAS MY BIGGEST FEAR IS
WHERE IS THE BULLETS GOING TO
COME FROM? THAT’S ALL. I HEARD
THIS STUDENT AND TRYING TO HELP
DUMBEST BREAKOUT FROM THOMANN
TRUCK BECAUSE THEY’RE INSIDE THE
BUILDING. THE GUNMAN WAS
ARRESTED THE PEOPLE IN THIS
TRUCK AND PEOPLE IN THE BUILDING
ARE OKAY. WENT BY AD SAYS HE AND
HIS PARTNERS WERE WORKING ON THE
BUILDING. THIS IS WHAT HE MEANS
. HIS OFFICE FOR HIS BUSINESSES
IS RIGHT UPSTAIRS. HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE PUT
INTO THE BUILDING, AND NOW THIS
, A TRUCK TAKING OUT THE FRONT
OF FIVE HEADS BUILDING. THE
BIGGEST THING IS JUST DELIVERED
THE MESSAGE TO EVERYBODY OUT
HERE THAT NOTHING IS WORTH IT.
LIFE IS TOO SHORT. AND THIS
TODAY IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. THREE
PEOPLE COULD HAVE BEEN DEAD AND
ONLY GOD KNOWS IT FOR INSIDE.
THIS NEW CAMERA RIGHT HERE,
CAPTURING THAT TOE TRUCK
TUMBLING INTO THIS BUILDING,
TAKING OUT THESE TWO FRONTS AND
AGAIN, THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE TOW
TRUCK THERE, OKAY. NO ONE WAS
HURT INSIDE THE BUILDING, AND
THREE PEOPLE NOW HAVE BEEN TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY, INCLUDING THE
PEOPLE IN THE TOW TRUCK. WE’RE
ALSO HEARING THAT GUN WAS
RECOVERED A RIFLE. WE’RE LIVE IN
DETROIT SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4 BACK
TO YOU TO SAY, YOU KNOW, RIGHT?
THANK YOU, SEAN. WELL TODAY,
MARK DAY TWO OF THE JANUARY 6TH
HEARINGS IN THE COMMITTEE LAID
OUT WHAT IT SAYS IS EVIDENCE OF
DONALD TRUMP’S PLOT TO SPREAD
FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT HAVING
WON THE ELECTION. IN PRE
RECORDED TESTIMONY, FORMER
ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAM BARR
BROUGHT UP TRUMP’S CLAIMS OF A
QUOTE BIG VOTE DUMP THAT
OCCURRED HERE. IN DETROIT. AND
PEOPLE SAW BOXES COMING INTO THE
COUNTING STATION AT ALL HOURS OF
THE MORNING AND SO FORTH, AND I
EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT I THAT
POINT I KNEW THE EXACT NUMBER OF
PRECINCTS IN DETROIT. I THINK IT
WAS 630 SOMETHING I SAID MR
PRESIDENT. THERE ARE 630
PRECINCTS IN DETROIT AND UNLIKE
ELSEWHERE IN THE STATE. THEY
CENTRALIZED THE COUNTING PROCESS
, SO THEY’RE NOT COUNTED IN EACH
PRECINCT AND MOVED TO COUNTING
STATIONS. AND SO THE NORMAL
PROCESS WOULD INVOLVE BOXES
COMING IN AT ALL DIFFERENT
HOURS, SO THERE’S NOTHING AND I
SHOULD HAVE. DID ANYONE POINT
OUT TO YOU DID ALL THE PEOPLE
COMPLAINING ABOUT IT POINT OUT
TO YOU? YOU ACTUALLY DID BETTER
IN DETROIT. AND YOU DID YOU DID
LAST TIME. I MEAN, THERE’S NO
INDICATION OF FRAUD IN DETROIT.
AS WE HAVE REPORTED OFTEN, THE
COMMITTEE’S NEXT HEARING IS
SCHEDULED FOR WEDNESDAY MORNING
AT 10, AND YOU CAN WATCH IT LIVE
HERE ON LOCAL 4. MAJOR DELAY
ANNOUNCED TODAY IN THE FLOYD
GALLOWAY TRIAL HE’S CHARGED WITH
MURDERING DANIEL SAYS LUCKY AND
THE QUESTION WILL KEY EVIDENCE
BE ADMITTED IN THE CASE. I SPENT
THE DAY IN COURT TODAY LISTENING
TO BOTH SIDES FIGHT FOR AND
AGAINST A TIP THAT WAS GIVEN IN
THE CASE, WHICH ACTUALLY LED TO
THE DISCOVERY. OF DANIEL’S KEYS
AND HER FIFTH BIT. THE QUESTION
WAS THAT TIP HANDLED THE RIGHT
WAY. FLOYD GALWAY WALKED INTO
COURT NOT KNOWING IF EVIDENCE
CONNECTED TO AN ADMISSION HE
REPORTEDLY MADE THE MAN WHO
CONDUCTED HIS LIE DETECTOR TEST
WOULD BE ADMISSIBLE IN COURT.
THE TIP, READ QUOTES THE
SECURITY GUARD DID IT. HE DROVE
THE VICTIM’S CAR TO THE HOUSE IN
BERKELEY. FROM HIS HOUSE IN
BERKELEY TO HER APARTMENT AND
WALK TO TIM HORTONS. THAT TENANT
HALSTEAD WHERE HE CALLED
SHAMROCK CAB OR SOMETHING THAT
SOUNDS LIKE SHAMROCK. WHERE HE
RECEIVED A CAMERA TO IT AND
WALKING DISTANCE FROM HIS WORK
WHERE HIS CAR WAS PARKED.
GALLOWAY’S DEFENSE TOLD THE
JUDGE THAT TIP FROM GALLOWAY’S
POLITICAL FOR WAS THEN TOLD TO
THE TROY POLICE CHIEF GARY MAYOR
, WHO THEN CALLED THE FARMINGTON
HILLS POLICE CHIEF, CHUCK NEVIS.
AND SAYS THAT WAS ACTUAL
PRIVILEGED INFORMATION. SO IN
YOUR MIND, IT WAS PRETTY
IMPORTANT TO DETERMINE THE
SOURCE OF THIS TEST. YES.
KNOWING THAT CHIEF NIBBLES IS
THE ONE WHO TOOK THE PHONE CALL.
DID YOU GO BACK TO CHIEF NIBS
AND SAY, HEY, CHIEF, WHAT ELSE
CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE
CALLER? AND WHAT DID HE SAY? HE
SAID, EVERYTHING THAT’S IN THE
TIP IS WHAT HE KNOWS, GALLOWAY’S
DEFENSE ATTORNEY TOLD THE JUDGE
POLICE FAILED TO PROPERLY
DOCUMENT THE SOURCE OF THE TIP
AND USE THAT TIP TO OBTAIN
SEARCH WARRANTS. IT’S OUR
POSITION THAT THERE HAS BEEN A.
LONG TERM AND WIDESPREAD
CAMPAIGN TO KEEP INFORMATION
FROM THE DEFENSE PROSECUTION
SAID NOTHING WAS OBTAINED FROM
THOSE SEARCH WARRANTS AND POLICE
DID THEIR JOB AND FILLING OUT
ALL THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK
RELATED TO THE CASE. BUT TODAY’S
CONFLICT CAUSED A DELAY AND NOW
GALLOWAY’S MURDER TRIAL HAS BEEN
MOVED TO NOVEMBER. 28TH. WHICH
WILL BE ABOUT SIX YEARS SINCE
DANNY WENT MISSING. WELL I
TALKED TO DANNY’S PARENTS AFTER
COURT. THEY DIDN’T FEEL LIKE
TALKING ON CAMERA, BUT THEY WERE
DEVASTATED. THERE IS ANOTHER
DELAY IN THIS CASE, THE NEXT
HEARING ABOUT THAT TIP AND THE
EVIDENCE THAT WAS COLLECTED WILL
BE JUNE 24TH UNTOLD WHATEVER
SIDE LOSES, IS PLANNING ON
APPEALING SUCH A LONG, LONG
TIME, BIPARTISAN GROUP OF
SENATORS UNVEILED AN AGREEMENT
ON GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION.
HERE’S A LOOK AT WHAT’S IN IT,
AND AS IMPORTANTLY, WHAT’S NOT,
THERE IS HELP FOR STATES AND
CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING RED
FLAG LAWS AIMED AT KEEPING GUNS
OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE WHO
POSE A THREAT TO THEMSELVES OR
OTHERS. THERE’S FUNDING FOR
MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND
ENHANCED REVIEW PROCESS ON
CERTAIN WEAPONS FOR BUYERS UNDER
THE AGE OF 21 VIA THE NATIONAL
INSTANT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND
CHECK SYSTEM. NOTABLY ABSENT ANY
SORT OF EXPANDED BACKGROUND
CHECKS FOR ALL GUN SALES. THERE
IS ALSO NO ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN,
NOR ANY CHANGE IN THE MINIMUM
AGE, AT WHICH ONE CAN PURCHASE
AN ASSAULT STYLE WEAPON.
PRIYA MANN LIVE WITH REACTION
FROM ONE OF OUR SENATORS AND
FROM EVERYDAY METRO DETROITERS
PRIYA. HEY THAT’S RIGHT, DEVIN.
WE TALKED TO A CONCERNED DAD AS
WELL AS A GRANDFATHER WHOSE OWN
GUNS HIS ENTIRE LIFE. BOTH SAY
THIS BILL DOESN’T GO FAR ENOUGH.
BUT THEY SAID IT’S A STEP IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. THE SCHOOLS
NEED MORE SECURITY. DAD SAYS HE
WORRIES ABOUT HIS KIDS SAFETY
EVERY DAY WHEN THEY GO OFF TO
SCHOOL. NOT JUST DEALING WITH
THE ELEMENTS OF THE SCHOOL
BUILDING ITSELF. WE DIDN’T WANT
THE ELEMENTS OF THE CHILDREN
GOING TO THE SCHOOL AND WHAT
THEY’RE GOING THROUGH A
BIPARTISAN DEAL ON SEVERAL GUN
SAFETY MEASURES INCLUDES FUNDING
FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SCHOOL
SECURITY RESOURCES AND HELP
STATES IMPLEMENT RED FLAG LAWS
AND ENHANCED REVIEW PROCESSES
FOR BUYERS UNDER 21, I LOVE
GUNS. I’VE HAD TWO OR THREE
DOZEN IN MY LIFETIME, BUT LIKE,
SAY, I DON’T NEED AN AR 15 TO
SHOOT A RABBIT. A GROUP OF 20
SENATORS 10 DEMOCRATS IN 10
REPUBLICANS ANNOUNCED THE DEAL
ON SUNDAY. AT LEAST IT’S A STEP
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. LET’S
FACE IT. I JUST FEEL LIKE THE
NRA DICTATES OUR GUN POLICIES.
DEMOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN THING IS
LIKE A BIG BIG FIGHT BETWEEN
WHICH SIDE IS RIGHT. WHICH SIDE
IS WRONG, AND NOW IT’S NOT ABOUT
THAT. IT’S ABOUT WHAT’S RIGHT
FOR THE PEOPLE BUILD IS NOT
INCLUDE A BAN ON ASSAULT WEAPONS
OR RAISE THE MINIMUM AGE OF
PURCHASE COMPREHENSIVE
BACKGROUND CHECKS FOR EVERYONE
PURCHASING A WEAPON. ABSOLUTELY
NO QUESTION ABOUT THAT. BUT
RIGHT NOW I’M IN A PLACE WHERE
WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS
DOABLE AND WHAT IS MEANINGFUL
AND THIS PACKAGE IS BOTH OF
THOSE THINGS. MY ONLY
DISAPPOINTING IS I WOULD LIKE TO
SEE MORE DONE WITH OUR FIFTEEN’S
. I THINK IT’S ABSOLUTELY
RIDICULOUS TO HAVE OUR KIDS,
INCLUDING MY GRANDSON’S RUNNING
AROUND WITH A R 15. THEY JUST
DON’T NEED THEM. THIS BIPARTISAN
PROPOSAL ENSURES THAT IT WOULD
MAKE IT THROUGH THE SENATE
FILIBUSTER. BUT AS THEY SAY THE
DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS, AND
SENATOR STABENOW SAYS THEY’RE
CURRENTLY WRITING THE
LEGISLATION. AS WE SPEAK. OF
COURSE, WE’LL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW
ITS PROGRESS IN WASHINGTON
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT AND
PRIYA MANN LOCAL 4, ALRIGHT,
PRIYA. STILL AHEAD OF FORMER
PRIEST IN MACOMB COUNTY IS
CONVICTED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING
TWO CHILDREN. AND WE CONTINUE TO
FOLLOW THE BREAKING NEWS OUT OF
TROY FIRE AT THE SOMERSET
COLLECTION LIVE LOOK DOWN FROM
BIG BEAVER AND COOLIDGE, WHERE
CREWS ARE WORKING TO GET THE
FIRE UNDER CONTROL APPARENTLY
STARTED AT THE CAPITAL GRILLE,
WHICH IS YOU MAY KNOW IS A
RESTAURANT RIGHT? IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE MALL ON THE NORTH SIDE.
ONE WAS HURT IN THE FIRE. SOME
AREAS OF THEM ALL ARE CLOSED
RIGHT NOW. CREWS ARE
INVESTIGATING THE CARS. WE’LL
