POLICE SAY THEY ATTACKED AN OFFICER, ONE MAN WRESTLING THE OFFICER FOR HIS GUN BEFORE
FLEEING THE SCENE WITH THAT
OTHER SUSPECT. THANKS FOR
JOINING US. EVERYBODY HERE AT
NOON, THAT OFFICER WAS DRESSED
FOR DUTY WHEN IT APPEARS ONE OF
THE MEN WENT FOR HIS GUN AT A BP
GAS STATION NEAR JOY ROAD IN
SOUTHFIELD, DETROIT. POLICE SAY
HE WAS GETTING GAS BEFORE
HEADING DOWNTOWN FOR CONCERT
DETAIL OVER THE WEEKEND. VICTOR
WILLIAMS JOINS US NOW AS VIDEO
OF THIS ATTACK IS NOW SURFACING
VICTOR.
>> OH, YEAH, THAT’S RIGHT. AND
WE HAVE BEEN COVERING THIS VERY
EXTENSIVELY OVER THE LAST FEW
DAYS. BUT JUST LIKE YOU SAID, WE
FINALLY GOT OUR HANDS ON THAT
VERY DRAMATIC SURVEILLANCE VIDEO
OF WHAT TOOK PLACE INSIDE OF
THIS BP, WHEN THOSE TWO YOUNG
MEN DECIDED TO ATTACK AN OFFICER
AND GO RIGHT FOR HIS GUN. TAKE A
LOOK AT THIS. IN THE VIDEO
OBTAINED BY METRO DETROIT NEWS,
YOU SEE THE SUSPECTS INCHING
CLOSER AND CLOSER FROM BOTH
SIDES TOWARDS THE OFFICER WHEN
ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DECIDES TO
GO FOR THE GUN, THE OFFICER
QUICKLY REACTS AND STARTS
WRESTLING WITH THE FIRST SUSPECT
TO KEEP HIS WEAPON, BUT LOSES IT
FOR JUST A FEW BRIEF SECONDS.
NOW, AS YOU GUYS CAN SEE, IT
GETS TOTALLY CHAOTIC FOR A
SECOND WITH THE BACK AND FORTH
TUSSLING BECOMING MORE AND MORE
INTENSE AS THE OFFICER IS ABLE
TO RETRIEVE THE GUN. BUT WE SOON
FIND OUT THE SUSPECT SHOT IN THE
BACK GROUND BY THE DOOR IS ARMED
AS WELL, WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE
A GLOCK NINE. NOW, HE POINTS THE
WEAPON AT THE OFFICER, BUT NO
GUN SHOTS WERE EVER EXCHANGED IN
THE INCIDENT. BOTH MEN MAKE
THEIR WAY TOWARDS THE DOOR. THE
OFFICER NOT TOO FAR BEHIND. NOW,
WE KNOW THAT POLICE HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO CONTACT THE FAMILY
MEMBERS OF THESE TWO MEN, BUT
WE’RE NOT SURE IF ANY NEW
DEVELOPMENTS HAVE COME FROM
THAT. WE KNOW THAT THAT $5,000
REWARD IS STILL OUT THERE FOR
ANYONE WHO HAS INFORMATION THAT
CAN LEAD TO AN ARREST ON THE
WEST SIDE. VICTOR WILLIAMS,
LOCAL 4.
>> OKAY, VICTOR. DETROIT POLICE
ARE LOOKING INTO A DEADLY
ACCIDENT INVOLVING A PEDESTRIAN.
IT HAPPENED AROUND SIX THIS
MORNING ON GRATIOT AVENUE NEAR
MCNICHOLS ON THE EAST SIDE.
INVESTIGATORS SAY A 30 YEAR OLD
MAN WAS HIT AND LATER DIED AFTER
EMTS ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THE
DRIVER WAS COOPERATING WITH THE
INVESTIGATION, STAYING AT THAT
SCENE, IT’S EXPECTED TO BE A
BUSY NIGHT AT GROSSE POINTE
SCHOOLS AS THE SCHOOL BOARD
THERE SET TO DISCUSS MORE THAN
$4 MILLION IN BUDGET CUTS. THOSE
CUTS WOULD EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATE
15 TEACHING JOBS, STOP SPANISH
INSTRUCTION IN THIRD AND FOURTH
GRADE, AS WELL AS CUT TWO
COMMUNICATION JOBS. ANGRY AND
CONCERNED PARENTS HAVE TURNED
OUT IN THE PAST FOR THESE
DISCUSSIONS. THE LAST MEETING
WENT TILL THREE IN THE MORNING.
BE SURE TO WATCH LOCAL 4 NEWS AT
11 TO SEE IF ANY DECISIONS ARE
MADE ON THIS ONE. THE STATE HAS
REACHED A SETTLEMENT WITH
WALGREENS FOR ITS ROLE IN THE
STATE’S OPIOID EPIDEMIC. THE
SETTLEMENT IS WORTH MORE THAN
$338 MILLION AND REQUIRES THE
STATE TO JOIN THE WALGREENS
NATIONAL OPIOID SETTLEMENT,
WHICH WILL PROVIDE AROUND $200
MILLION OVER THE NEXT 15 YEARS
ALONG WITH THAT, THE STATE WILL
GET $138 MILLION OVER THE NEXT
18 YEARS. ACCORDING TO THE STATE
HEALTH DATA, MORE THAN 2500
MICHIGANDERS DIED OF OPIOID
OVERDOSES LAST YEAR. A SUNDAY
MORNING TANKER EXPLOSION IS
GOING TO AFFECT PHILADELPHIA
DRIVERS FOR WEEKS AND MONTHS TO
COME. A SECTION OF I-95
COLLAPSED AFTER THE BLAZE
BURNED. SO HOT. PHILADELPHIA’S
MAYOR SAYS THE FIRE IS UNDER
CONTROL AND NO ONE WAS HURT IN
THIS. THAT IS A MAJOR ARTERY FOR
THE CITY. SO DRIVERS ARE IN FOR
SOME HEADACHES AS RECONSTRUCTION
BEGINS. INVESTIGATORS STILL
LOOKING INTO EXACTLY HOW THE
FUEL IN THE TANKER IGNITED.
PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY FOR
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP’S FLORIDA
COURT APPEARANCE. HE IS THE
FIRST PRESIDENT EVER INDICTED ON
FEDERAL CHARGES. NBC’S BREE
JACKSON IS IN WASHINGTON WITH
THE DEVELOPMENTS.
>> FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
TRAVELS FROM NEW JERSEY TO
FLORIDA TODAY AHEAD OF HIS
ARRAIGNMENT IN FEDERAL COURT ON
TUESDAY. FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
HEADING TO FLORIDA. JUST ONE DAY
BEFORE HIS HISTORIC APPEARANCE
IN A MIAMI FEDERAL COURT. TRUMP
SPENT MUCH OF THE WEEKEND
LASHING OUT AGAINST THE
INVESTIGATION INTO HIS HANDLING
OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS.
>> THE BASELESS INDICTMENT OF ME
BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION’S
WEAPONIZED DEPARTMENT OF
INJUSTICE. WE WILL GO DOWN AS
AMONG THE MOST HORRIFIC ABUSES
OF POWER IN THE HISTORY OF OUR
COUNTRY. SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK
SMITH UNSEALED A 37 COUNT
FEDERAL INDICTMENT AGAINST MR.
TRUMP, ALLEGING HE SCHEMED TO
KEEP SENSITIVE MATERIAL, KNOWING
MANY OF THE DOCUMENTS WERE
CLASSIFIED ASIDE.
>> TRUMP’S OWN ATTORNEY GENERAL
WEIGHED IN. I WAS SHOCKED BY THE
DEGREE OF SENSITIVE OF THESE
DOCUMENTS AND HOW MANY THERE
WERE, FRANKLY, ON CAPITOL HILL.
TOP REPUBLICANS ARE DEFENDING
TRUMP.
>> THIS IS THE MOST POLITICAL
THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.
>> SADLY, THAT THIS IS WHO HE
IS, THAT HE FEELS THE LAW
APPLIES TO OTHER PEOPLE. IT
DOESN’T APPLY TO HIM.
>> POTENTIAL VOTERS ARE ALSO
DIVIDED OVER THE CURRENT 2024
GOP FRONTRUNNERS LEGAL TROUBLES.
MARTHA IS JUST AGAINST HIM.
>> SO HE OUGHT TO BE DONE DONE
SOME OF THEM, YOU KNOW, MIGHT
NOT BE DONE DONE ALL OF THEM.
BUT IT DID. SOME OF THEM, I
THINK IT IS VERY BIASED.
>> WE’VE GOT OTHER PRESIDENTS
THAT HAVE TAKEN MATERIAL AND
THEY’RE NOT BEING TREATED THE
SAME WAY.
>> I THINK AT THE END OF THE
DAY, WE NEED TO LET THIS GO
THROUGH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND
NOT MAKE IT A POLITICAL
SPECTACLE. THE FORMER PRESIDENT
SAYS HE WILL PLEAD NOT GUILTY.
>> AND FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP
VOWS TO STAY IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
RACE. EVEN AN IF CONVICTED IN
WASHINGTON, BREE JACKSON, NBC, C
NEWS.
>> RARELY DO WE CELEBRATE RAIN
ON THE WEEKEND, BUT WHEN WE GOT
SOME OVER THE WEEKEND, IT WAS
THREE WEEKS IN THE MAKING. SO
THE GARDENS, THE LAWNS,
EVERYTHING CELEBRATING MAYBE NOT
THE CAR WASH GUYS, BUT THEY’LL
GET OVER IT. THEY HAD A NICE
RUN. ASHLEY THAT’S RIGHT.
>> AND SO WE ARE LOOKING AT SOME
CLOUDY SKIES NOW AS WE’VE BEEN
DRYING OUT FROM YESTERDAY’S
SHOWERS. THEY WEREN’T OVERLY
IMPRESSIVE, BUT SOME OF THE
TOTALS WE WERE SEEING COME IN
FROM OUR VIEWERS WERE CLOSE TO
ABOUT A HALF INCH OFF INTO
FARMINGTON HILLS. SO 61 DEGREES,
RIGHT NOW UNDER CLOUDY SKIES. WE
HAVE A NORTH WESTERLY BREEZE AT
ABOUT 15MPH. SO A LITTLE BREEZY
, CLOUDY AND COOL OUT THERE, BUT
THE CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO BREAK
A LITTLE BIT THIS AFTERNOON. 57
IN PONTIAC, 59 IN FLINT, 56 IN
LAPEER AND MOUNT CLEMENS, 58.
SANDUSKY 52. SO YOU GET NORTH OF
M 59 AND IT’S A LITTLE BIT
COOLER UP THERE. THE REST OF US
HOVERING RIGHT AROUND 60
DEGREES. SO YOUR 24 HOUR
TEMPERATURE CHANGE IS ANYWHERE
REALLY BETWEEN ABOUT 5 TO 10
DEGREES COOLER, THOUGH YOU SEE
OFTEN, ADRIAN, 12 DEGREES COOLER
THAN WHERE WE WERE AT NOON
YESTERDAY, PUTTING SATELLITE AND
RADAR ON. SO THE MOISTURE THAT’S
BEEN WRAPPING AROUND THIS LOW IS
NOW NORTH OF HERE, UP TOWARDS
ALPENA. BUT YOU GET THIS
COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATION. SO AS
THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM. THAT’S
RIGHT ABOVE US PUSHES TO THE
NORTHEAST, ALL THIS MOISTURE,
THIS TO OUR NORTH WILL WRAP
AROUND IT AND REAPPEAR HERE INTO
METRO DETROIT, HEADING INTO
TOMORROW. SO WE CLEAR OUT
BRIEFLY FOR TODAY WITH A FEW
PEEKS OF SUNSHINE THIS
AFTERNOON. WE’LL TOP OUT RIGHT
AROUND 70, 71 DEGREES. A LITTLE
BIT LATER THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN
ABOUT 4:00 AND 5:00. BUT THEN
THOSE CLOUDS WILL START TO BUILD
BACK IN EARLY TOMORROW AS WE
HAVE RAIN CHANCES INCREASING FOR
YOUR TUESDAY AND YOUR THURSDAY.
WE’LL WALK YOU THROUGH THAT HOUR
BY HOUR. COMING UP IN JUST A FEW
MINUTES. ALL RIGHT.
