SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4. OKAY, SEAN,
THANK YOU. NEW INFORMATION
TONIGHT AS THE NATION CONTINUES
TO MOURN THE LIVES LOST IN THE
TRAGIC SHOOTING AT ROB
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN UVALDE.
SADLY IN ADDITION TO THE 19
CHILDREN AND TWO TEACHERS WHO
WERE KILLED WE HAVE NOW LEARNED
THE HUSBAND OF IRMA GARCIA, ONE
OF THE TWO TEACHERS KILLED HAS
PASSED AWAY FROM A HEART ATTACK
WHILE PREPARING FOR HIS WIFE’S
FUNERAL. INVESTIGATORS NOW SAY
REPORTS THE GUNMAN AND THE TEXAS
SCHOOL SHOOTING WAS CONFRONTED
BY A SCHOOL SAFETY OFFICER WERE
NOT CORRECT. POLICE NOW SAY HE
WAS IN THE SCHOOL FOR MORE THAN
AN HOUR BEFORE POLICE SHOT AND
KILLED HIM. TEXAS DPS ALSO SAYS
THE DOOR TO ROB ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN
UNLOCKED. HE WALKED IN
UNRESTRICTED, INITIALLY, SO FROM
THE GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE TO THE
BARD EGE TO THE SCHOOL INTO THE
SCHOOL. HE WAS NOT CONFRONTED BY
ANYBODY TO CLEAR THE RECORD ON
THAT. THE WHITE HOUSE CONFIRMS
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND FIRST LADY
DR JILL BIDEN BULL VISIT UVALDE
, TEXAS ON SUNDAY TO MEET WITH
THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS. WE
SAW IT AFTER THE OXFORD SCHOOL
SHOOTING, AND IT’S HAPPENING
AGAIN THE IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO
TUESDAY’S TRAGEDY HAS BEEN
INCREASED POLICE PATROLS AT
SCHOOLS BUT THE PROACTIVE
MEASURES DON’T END THERE. MEGAN
WOODS JOINS US LIVE FROM
WYANDOTTE, JUST ONE OF THE
PLACES WHERE SCHOOLS AND LAW
ENFORCEMENT ARE ACTIVELY WORKING
TOGETHER ON SAFETY MEASURES
AGAINST ACTIVE SHOOTERS. MEGAN
YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. WE’RE RIGHT
OUTSIDE OF ONE OF THEIR SCHOOLS,
AND THIS FALL, THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT WILL HAVE TO SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS FOR THE FIRST
TIME IN YEARS. WIND UP POLICE
TELL US THAT THEY RECENTLY HIRED
A DETECTIVE AND AN OFFICER JUST
FOR THE DISTRICT AND THEY KNOW
THAT TOO. ARE NOT ENOUGH. THESE
ARE TEACHERS. THEY SHOULD BE
TEACHING. THEY SHOULDN’T BE
CONCERNED ABOUT ACTIVE SHOOTERS
OR DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THAT’S
NOT WHAT THEY SIGNED UP FOR.
DEPUTY CHIEF OF POLICE BELIEVES
THERE NEEDS TO BE OFFICERS IN
SCHOOLS. THAT’S WHY THEY
RECENTLY HIRED TWO OF THEIR OWN
. THEY’RE GOING TO BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL 10 SCHOOL
BUILDINGS. THAT’S 5000 STUDENTS
PLUS STAFF. HE SAYS. FUNDING
DOESN’T ALLOW FOR MORE IN OTHER
COMMUNITIES HAVE THE SAME
CHALLENGE RIGHT NOW HOW WE
HANDLE IT HERE. IS THE SCHOOL
HAS THAT POLICE OFFICER FOR NINE
MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR?
ESSENTIALLY SO THEY PAY FOR
ABOUT 75% OF THE SALARY FOR THAT
POLICE OFFICER TAYLOR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS HAS ONE RESOURCE OFFICER
THIS SUMMER, THEY ARE INSTALLING
A BLUETOOTH SAFETY ALERT
LOCKDOWN SYSTEM LOCKDOWN CALLED
SMART BOOT TO ADD ANOTHER LAYER
OF SECURITY. WHATEVER EMERGENCY
THERE MIGHT BE. THAT THAT WILL
CUT SECONDS DOWN FROM THE
TEACHER, CALLING THE OFFICE THE
OFFICE CALLING THE POLICE
DEPARTMENT. IT WILL BE LIKE YOU
KNOW, IT’S SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT’S
A $1.7 MILLION INVESTMENT, BUT
THEY SAY IT’S WORTH IT THIS
SUMMER. THEY WILL ALSO UPDATE
CURRENT SYSTEMS AND WE’LL BE
ABLE TO SEE DIRECTLY AND
COMPUTERS WHO’S COMING TO THE
BUILDING. WHAT ARE THEY COMING
FOR? WAYNE COUNTY SHERIFF’S
DEPARTMENT DOESN’T PROVIDE
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS. BUT IN
THE LAST SIX MONTHS HAVE SEEN A
SPIKE IN CHURCHES AND SCHOOLS
REACHING OUT FOR ACTIVE SHOOTER
TRAINING. AND THEY SHOULD. YOU
KNOW, THESE THINGS ARE HAPPENING
RIGHT HERE IN OUR AREA,
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. SEVERAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS, LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE MAKING CHANGES IN
TIME FOR FALL. WE TALKED TO THAT
LOCKDOWN SYSTEM COMPANY, AND
THEY SAY SEVERAL MULTIPLE DOWN
RIVER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE
SIGNED ON TO GET THEIR SYSTEM
DE’VEON KIMBERLY WITH SOME
DISTRICTS, WE SEE THEM
STRUGGLING JUST TO GET ONE
OFFICER. I MEAN FUNDING IS A BIG
ISSUE HERE FOR SCHOOLS. THAT’S
RIGHT. AND WHEN WE TALK TO WIND
UP POLICE DEPARTMENT THEY WERE
SAYING CALL YOUR ELECTED
OFFICIALS ACTS. ASK THEM FOR
MORE SCHOOL FUNDING SO THEY CAN
HAVE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.
OKAY MEGAN. THANK YOU. WE ALSO
WANT TO MENTION THERE’S NEW
INSIGHT TONIGHT FROM ONE OF THE
DOCTORS WHO TRIED TO SAVE THE
LIVES OF THE ROB ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL SHOOTING VICTIMS. THE
HEAD OF TRAUMA SURGERY. UT
HEALTH, SAN ANTONIO SPOKE PRETTY
CANDIDLY WITH LESTER HOLT ABOUT
HIS ROLE IN A TRAGEDY LIKE THIS
ONE. TO BE ABLE TO HELP SOMEONE.
WHEN THEY NEED IT THE MOST. IT’S
REWARDING IT ACTUALLY IS. REALLY
IS. HMM. AND YOUR CHILDREN ARE
INCREDIBLY RESILIENT AND
SPECIAL. AND SO IT’S INCREDIBLY
REWARDING. BUT IT IS ALSO THE
WORST. POSSIBLE. THING TO HAVE
TO EXPLAIN TO HIM, MOM. WHO’S
WHOSE CHILD WAS NORMAL AT
BREAKFAST. IT’S NOW NOT HERE.
MORE OF THAT INTERVIEW AHEAD AT
6 30 AS LESTER ANCHORS NIGHTLY
NEWS FROM UVALDE, TEXAS. I
RETURN NOW TO THE SHAKEUP IN THE
RACE FOR GOVERNOR IN MICHIGAN,
FIVE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES HAVE
BEEN FOUND IN ELIGIBLE TO BE ON
THE BALLOT. STATE ELECTIONS
BUREAU FOUND THOUSANDS OF
FRAUDULENT SIGNATURES ON
PETITIONS SUBMITTED BY JAMES
CRAIG PERRY JOHNSON, DONNA
BRANDENBURG, MICHAEL MARQUEE,
AND MIKE BROWN. THAT’S HALF THE
FIELD. THE BUREAU RECOMMENDED
THEY BE DISQUALIFIED. TODAY, THE
BIPARTISAN BOARD OF STATE
CANVASSERS VOTED ON THAT
RECOMMENDATION TO DEMOCRATS
SUPPORTING IT TO REPUBLICANS
AGAINST IT. THE TIE VOTE MEANS
THE CANDIDATES LOSE. CRAIG AND
PERRY SAYS THEY ARE GOING TO ASK
THE COURTS TO NOW INTERVENE.
BROWN HAS ALREADY ALREADY
WITHDRAWN FROM THE RACE. THE
STATE COURT OF APPEALS IS
SPEEDING THINGS UP IN THE CASE
OVER MICHIGAN’S 1931 ABORTION
BAN THE COURT SETTING A NEW
TIMELINE FOR ADVOCATES TO MAKE
THEIR VOICES HEARD IN THE STATES
LAWSUIT. LET’S BRING IN OUR
GRANT HERMES RIGHT NOW. GRANT.
THIS IS A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
CHANGE. I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS
SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS TO FILE
BRIEFS, WHICH IS HOW BOTH SIDES
OF THIS TALK TO THE COURT. IT
GOES FROM ABOUT 110 DAYS TO JUST
OVER A MONTH, PUTTING IT RIGHT
AROUND THE FOURTH OF JULY,
POTENTIALLY RIGHT IN LINE WITH
THAT MAJOR DECISION ON ROE FROM
THE U. S. SUPREME COURT. TWO BIG
MOVES IN THE FIGHT OVER
MICHIGAN’S 1931 BAN ON ABORTION
. ON WEDNESDAY, THE COURT OF
APPEALS MOVING TO SPEED UP THE
PROCESS OVER WHETHER THE STATE
SHOULD KEEP IN PLACE THAT 90
YEAR OLD LAW FROM WHAT WOULD
HAVE STRETCHED INTO THE LATE
SUMMER. THEIR DEADLINE NOW SET
FOR JULY. 5TH THE COURT
EXPECTING CHALLENGES TO A RECENT
TEMPORARY STOP TO THE LAW FROM
THE COURT OF CLAIMS TO COME
QUICKLY. ALSO TODAY, GOVERNOR
GRETCHEN WHITMER, SAYING IN A
NEW FILING WITH THE STATE
SUPREME COURT QUOTE. THERE WAS
NO REASON FOR THE COURT TO DELAY
ITS CONSIDERATION OF THESE
ISSUES OF VITAL STATE IMPORTANCE
. BOTH DEVELOPMENTS COME AS
THOSE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE
DEBATE HAVE BEGUN MORE FORCEFUL
PUSHES THIS WEEK. MICHIGAN RIGHT
TO LIFE, OUTLINING THEIR CASE
AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT
MAKING ABORTION ACCESS STATE LAW
AND I WANT EVERY MICHIGANDERS TO
KNOW HOW AGREE GIS AND DANGEROUS
. THIS ANYTHING GOES. ABORTION
AMENDMENT IS FOR OUR STATE AND
DEMOCRATS TODAY, CALLING
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION OF FULL
SCALE ASSAULT, SAYING THE END OF
ABORTION ACCESS WOULD BE A
SLIPPERY SLOPE. I CANNOT STRESS
ENOUGH HOW THIS WILL NOT STOP
WITH JUST ABORTION ACCESS THE
FIGHT OVER ABORTION ON THE FAST
TRACK AS A STATE BRACES FOR
MAJOR DECISIONS. IT WAS ALSO
SUPPOSED TO BE A PRO CHOICE
RALLY HERE THIS AFTERNOON, BUT
ONLY TWO PEOPLE SHOWED UP. THEY
PUT UP THESE SIGNS HERE AND SOME
POSTS AND LEFT AFTER ABOUT A
HALF AN HOUR NOW AGAIN, THAT
DEADLINE THAT THE APPEALS COURT
HAS SET IS JULY. FIFTH NO
INDICATION YET WHETHER THE STATE
SUPREME COURT WILL INTERVENE SO
FAR IN DOWNTOWN DETROIT,
GRANT HERMES LOCAL 4 KEEP
FOLLOWING IT. GRANT YOU, THE CEO
OF AMERICA’S BIGGEST COMPANIES
HAVE GOTTEN PAY RAISES WELL
ABOVE THE RATE OF INFLATION. THE
SAME CANNOT BE SAID FOR THEIR
WORKERS. STUDY SHOWS US THAT GAP
PLUS, HERE’S DR MCGEORGE. COVID
AND FLEW CONTINUE, BUT IN NEW
SUMMER THREAT IS POPPING UP AT
SOME LOCAL DOCTOR’S OFFICES TO
I’M DR FRANK MCGEORGE AHEAD, SEE
