THERE IS NEW FALLOUT THIS
AFTERNOON IN THAT MASS SHOOTING
AT AN L G B T Q NIGHTCLUB IN
COLORADO. SPRINGS WE’RE LEARNING
ABOUT CRIMINAL CHARGES, AND
THERE ALSO ARE SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHY THE SUSPECT DIDN’T
HAVE HIS GUNS TAKEN AWAY. LAST
YEAR, KIMBERLY GAIL IN THE
NEWSROOM TRACKING THE VERY
LATEST FOR US, KIM GOOD
AFTERNOON, COURT RECORDS SHOW 22
YEAR OLD ANDERSON LEE ALDRICH.
IS FACING MULTIPLE MURDER AND
HATE CRIME CHARGES STEMMING FROM
THE ATTACK ON CLUB Q IN COLORADO
SPRINGS. SO FAR, IT’S NOT CLEAR
IF HE HAS AN ATTORNEY WHO CAN
SPEAK ON HIS BEHALF. BUT
SATURDAY NIGHT’S ATTACK LEFT
FIVE PEOPLE DEAD AND 25 INJURED
. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS IS
REPORTING THE SUSPECT USED IN A
AR 15 STYLE RIFLE, PLUS A
HANDGUN. ALSO ADDITIONAL
AMMUNITION ALSO WAS RECOVERED.
AUTHORITIES SAY CUSTOMERS IN THE
CLUB SUBDUED THE GUNMAN AND
STOPPED THE ATTACK BEFORE IT
COULD GET WORSE. OF THE 25
INJURED, SEVEN ARE IN CRITICAL
CONDITION. SOME PEOPLE WEREN’T
SHOT BUT GOT HURT AS THEY TRIED
TO GET AWAY. RELATIVES OF THOSE
WHO DIED ARE IN SHOCK, AND THOSE
WHO SURVIVED ARE DESCRIBING
TERRIFYING MOMENTS. LISTEN THERE
WAS A MOMENT IN TIME WHERE I
FEARED I WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE
IT OUT OF THAT CLUB ALIVE. UM
AND I HAVE NEVER PRAYED SO
SINCERELY AND QUICKLY HIT MY
LIFE AS I DID. IN THAT MOMENT, I
KEEP THINKING IT’S SO YOU KNOW,
IT’S JUST IT’S A MISTAKE.
THEY’VE MADE A MISTAKE AND THAT
HE’S REALLY ALIVE. I JUST YOU
KNOW, HE WAS SUCH A AH, HE LIT
UP A ROOM. IT’S JUST OLD
EXPRESSION, BUT HE REALLY DID.
YEAH THE SUSPECT WAS PREVIOUSLY
ARRESTED IN 2021 AFTER HIS OWN
MOTHER REPORTEDLY THREATENED HER
WITH A HOMEMADE BOMB AND OTHER
WEAPONS. ALTHOUGH THERE’S NO
PUBLIC RECORD OF CHARGES,
ADVOCATES ARE ASKING WHY THEY
ARRESTED TRIGGER COLORADO’S RED
FLAG LAW TO SEIZE THE WEAPONS.
HIS MOTHER SAID HE HAD WILL HAVE
MORE FROM COLORADO WHEN HE
JOINED US FOR LOCAL 4 NEWS AT
FIVE FOR NOW. KAREN WILSON IT
BACK TO YOU. WE APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU, KIM. WELL, THE THREAT
OF A CRIPPLING RAILROAD STRIKE
IS STILL VERY MUCH HANGING OVER
THE AMERICAN ECONOMY. TODAY
RAILROAD ENGINEERS VOTED TO
ACCEPT THEIR DEAL, BUT TRAIN
CONDUCTORS REJECTED. THERE’S 12
UNIONS ARE INVOLVED IN A DEAL
THAT WAS CELEBRATED BY THE WHITE
HOUSE A FEW MONTHS AGO. FIVE
UNIONS HAVE REJECTED THEIR
CONTRACTS, WHILE SEVEN HAVE
RATIFIED THE DEAL. STICKING
POINTS INVOLVED, DEMANDING
SCHEDULES ALSO QUALITY OF LIFE
ISSUES. THE UNIONS THAT REJECTED
THEIR DEALS HAVE AGREED TO NEW
NEGOTIATIONS BEFORE A NEW STRIKE
DEADLINE EARLY NEXT MONTH. WELL
IT’S AN ANNUAL HOLIDAY TRADITION
TO SEE FOOD GIVEAWAYS AROUND
THANKSGIVING, BUT THIS YEAR IS
REALLY DIFFERENT. WE’RE SEEING A
PERFECTLY DISTURBING STORM THAT
IS MAKING IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT
TO SERVE UP MEALS FOR THOSE IN
NEED AND JOINS US FROM A FOOD
WAREHOUSE OVER MACOMB COUNTY AND
PAULA, YOU DEFINITELY HAVE SOME
STARTLING NUMBERS TO SHARE WITH
US. YEAH THEY REALLY ARE. SO THE
THING TO KEEP IN MIND IS FOOD
DISTRIBUTION WAREHOUSES AND
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THIS ONE ARE
NOT JUST FOCUSED ON THANKSGIVING
. I KNOW WE’RE KIND OF MICRO
FOCUS ON IT, BUT THEY’RE DEALING
WITH HUNGER NEEDS DAILY, WEEKLY
OR EVEN MONTHLY. NOW, WHEN YOU
THROW IN THE DESIRE, HOWEVER, TO
DO SOMETHING A LITTLE EXTRA FOR
HOLIDAY MEALS, AND YOU DO THE
MATH THIS YEAR. IT IS REALLY
TOUGH. NONPROFITS CAN STRETCH A
DOLLAR EIGHT WAYS TO SUNDAY. BUT
EVEN THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE FEEDING
FAMILIES DOWN TO AN ART ARE
BENDING UNDER THE TWOFOLD WEIGHT
OF GROWING NEED AND RISING COSTS
. KEY THING IS, YOU’RE NOT ABLE
TO SERVE AS MANY AS PEOPLE AS
MANY PEOPLE AS YOU WERE
PREVIOUSLY BEFORE THE FOOD
PRICES AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE
ACTUALLY IMPACTED. WHAT WE’RE
ABLE TO DO CAKES, BRIE,
ESPECIALLY BREAD. UM. MEETS INTO
THE STORE. YOU TAKE YOU TAKE
$100. YOU’RE LEAVING OUT WITH
JUST NOTHING AFTER THAT. THE
LITTLE ROCK BAPTIST CHURCH
COMPLEX IN DETROIT. THERE IS A
LOT GOING ON TO GET FOOD ON
PLATES AND INTO HOUSEHOLDS.
PEOPLE COME IN. THEY ARE SO
GRATEFUL IN THE KITCHEN OF THE
CHURCH TURKEYS ARE BEING BAGGED
UP. IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER.
THANKSGIVING DINNER IS ALREADY
BEING SERVED TO 100 PEOPLE WITH
A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE
DISABILITY NETWORK. WAYNE
COUNTY, DETROIT, AND HERE’S THE
BUT PREVIOUSLY WE MAY HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO SET UP FOR 200 PEOPLE.
WE’RE ONLY ABLE TO DO 100. LET’S
GO TO MACOMB COUNTY. IT WOULD
COST US OVER $25,000 TO PROVIDE
THE 1500 TURKEYS THAT WE USUALLY
PROVIDE FOR THANKSGIVING MEALS.
AND SO THE FOOD PROGRAM IS
GIVING AWAY A CHICKEN INSTEAD OF
TURKEY, OCTOBER 2020 DURING THE
PANDEMIC, THE MACOMB COUNTY FOOD
PROGRAM DISTRIBUTED £322,832 OF
FOOD TO A NETWORK OF MORE THAN
70 FOOD PANTRIES, FEEDING 24,622
THAT WAS ONE MONTH OF FOOD
DISTRIBUTION THIS OCTOBER
BECAUSE OF RISING FOOD COSTS,
THE ORGANIZATION HAS DISTRIBUTED
ONLY 218,634 OF FOOD TO 24,789
INDIVIDUALS, LESS FOOD. MORE
PEOPLE LESS FOOD BY THE WAY BY
NEARLY £100,000. BUT THE NEED
HAS INCREASED, AND SO HAVE THE
COSTS WHICH ARE NOW SIMPLE. WHAT
THEY WERE IN 2020. PLAIN TALK
MORE MONEY BEING SPENT FOR MORE
NEED, WHICH CHANGES WHAT’S IN
THE BOX INSTEAD OF SEEING MAYBE
A VARIETY OF FRUIT, WE MAY ONLY
BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU ONE OR TWO
ITEMS ARE ONE OR TWO VEGETABLES.
YEAH THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING IN
THE WRONG DIRECTION. FOOD BANKS
WILL TELL YOU IF YOU HAVE A
FAVORITE ONE AND YOU WANT TO
DONATE INSTEAD OF DONATING A
FOOD ITEM. DONATE THE MONEY,
THESE GUYS THEY WHEEL AND DEAL,
THEY CAN TURN $20 INTO AS MUCH
AS $100 WORTH OF FOOD. THAT IS
THE WAY TO HELP THIS SEASON. IF
YOU’RE ABLE TO KAREN ALL RIGHT,
