AT NOON STARTS NOW. FOR DRY OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, SO SOME GOOD NEWS THERE, BUT METEOROLOGIST
BRANDON ROUX IS TRACKING STORMS
FOR THE START OF YOUR MEMORIAL
DAY WEEKEND. OF COURSE, THE
WEATHER TOPS OUR NEWS HERE AT
NOON. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
I’M EVROD CASSIMY ALONGSIDE
METEOROLOGIST BRANDON ROUX, AND
WE’RE HEADING INTO A WEEKEND
WHERE THINGS ARE LOOKING UP.
WELL, I GOT A TEXT FROM MY
DAUGHTER, WHO SAID THE BASEBALL
COACH HERE WANTS TO KNOW IF THEY
CAN PLAY THEIR GAME TODAY. I’M
ADVISING. DON’T CANCEL YOUR
PLANS, BUT WE ALL NEED TO KEEP A
VERY CLOSE EYE ON RADAR ZAPPER.
WE’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT COMING
UP. BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WE’RE
LOOKING HERE LIVE AT STORM
TRACKER 4 AND WE’LL GET TO SOME
OF THOSE SHOWERS. LOOK AT THAT
SKY OVER METRO DETROIT WITH MORE
CLOUDS THAN CLEARING. BUT WE DO
HAVE SOME PATCHY AREAS OF BLUE
SKY HELPING US TRY TO WARM UPPER
SIXTIES LOW SEVENTIES AND A
LITTLE SOUTHWEST WIND. REALLY
ISN’T ALL THAT STRONG AS WE TAKE
A LOOK AT SOME OF THESE SHOWERS
OUT HERE. NOT MUCH TO THEM, BUT
ALONG AND NORTH OF M 59 AS WE
ZOOM IN CLOSE HERE TO THE
CLINTON TOWNSHIP AND MOUNT
CLEMENS AREA, WE HAVE A PRETTY
DECENT SOAKER LIGHTNING TRACKER
IS ON NOT SEEING ANY OF THAT.
AND A LOT OF THESE SHOWERS ARE
JUST AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT THAT
IS SLOWLY MOVING TO THE SOUTH.
THERE IT IS THERE AND JUST WILL
TAKE ITS TIME. MOST OF THE
AFTERNOON. THE SHOWERS ARE
CONFINED TO AREAS NORTH OF 59,
BUT BY 34 P. M. BETTER SHOWER
CHANCES MORE SORT OF ACROSS THE
ENTIRE AREA, SO THAT’S WHAT WE
NEED TO WATCH THROUGH THE MIDDLE
AND LATE AFTERNOON, ESPECIALLY
EVROD CASSIMY GET YOU UPDATED ON
THE LATEST ABOUT THE BABY
FORMULA SHORTAGE ACROSS THE
COUNTRY OVER IN DEARBORN.
HUNDREDS OF CARS ARE LINED UP TO
TRY AND GET THEIR HANDS ON BABY
FORMULA. THE DEARBORN DEPARTMENT
OF PUBLIC HEALTH, PARTNERED WITH
LOCAL NONPROFITS TO HOLD AN
EMERGENCY BABY FORMULA
DISTRIBUTION EVENT. VOLUNTEERS
ARE HANDING OUT FREE BABY
FORMULA. THIS IS AT THE FORD
COMMUNITY AND PERFORMING ARTS
CENTER. AND THAT’S GOING TO GO
UNTIL TWO O’CLOCK THIS
AFTERNOON. IT HAS BEEN A STAPLE
OF DETROIT’S DINING SCENE SINCE
1965. BUT OVERNIGHT THE POPULAR
RESTAURANT TRAFFIC JAM AND SNUG
IN MIDTOWN ACTUALLY CAUGHT FIRE
. FIRE CREWS SPENT ALL MORNING
WORKING TO TRY AND SAVE THE
RESTAURANT AND TO KEEP THE
FLAMES FROM SPREADING TO NEARBY
BUSINESSES. LIKE SINALOA, WHICH
IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. LOCAL FORCE
NICK MONACELLI JOINS US WITH
MORE THIS AFTERNOON. GOOD
AFTERNOON. I’M GOING TO STEP OUT
OF THE WAY HERE BECAUSE THIS IS
WHAT THE EMPLOYEES AND FRIENDS
OF TRAFFIC JAM AND SNUG ARE
DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW. JUST
TRYING TO CLEAN UP A LITTLE BIT.
THIS IS A VERY SMALL PORTION OF
VERY VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE
WORK TO BE DONE, IF ANYTHING,
BECAUSE WE’RE TOLD THE BUILDING
IS DESTROYED TRAFFIC JAM AND
SNUG, BUT WE’RE GOING THROUGH
THIS RUBBLE, SEEING IF THERE’S
ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE ABLE TO
BE SALVAGED. IT’S CRAZY. OH IT’S
CRAZY. MANY IN MIDTOWN WOKE UP
TO SMOKE AND FLASHING LIGHTS
THIS MORNING, FINDING OUT
DETROIT STAPLE IS DESTROYED
TERRIBLE THAT RESTAURANTS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD FOR FOREVER. IT’S
WAS HERE BEFORE ANY OF THIS
NEIGHBOR WHO GOT BUILT UP. IT’S
A CLASSIC. PEOPLE LOVE TO COME
HERE. IT’S JUST IT’S REALLY A
SHAME. THE FIRE STARTED AROUND
TWO AM, BUT WE DO NOT KNOW HOW
YET CELLPHONE VIDEO FROM A LOFT
ROOFTOP ACROSS THE STREET SHOWS
JUST HOW BAD IT WAS. GUTTING
TRAFFIC JAM AND SNUG FROM THE
INSIDE. THE WHOLE BUILDING WOOD
FLOOR NEAR AND EVERYTHING ELSE,
I GUESS SO JUST TOOK OFF. WHICH
IS KIND OF HARD TO IMAGINE.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK FROM THE
OUTSIDE, IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT
BE OKAY. YEAH BUT THAT’S JUST
THE WALLS. IT’S ALL SUICIDES
GONE. CURRENT OWNERS BOUGHT THE
RESTAURANT IN THE LATE NINETIES,
THE BUILDING ITSELF. HAS BEEN
HERE SINCE 1928. OCCUPIED
RESTAURANT OR ANY BUSINESS GO
THIS WAY WAY AS THE SUN ROSE.
REALITY SET IN. THE OWNER DID
NOT WANT TO TALK ON CAMERA. BUT
IT’S ALREADY TALKING ABOUT HOW
TO MOVE FORWARD FOR A LONG TIME,
YOU KNOW? YEAH IT’S REALLY A
SHAME WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE
RESTAURANT WAS CLOSED, SO NOBODY
WAS INSIDE. NOBODY HURTS. THERE
IS ANOTHER GOOD NEWS TO PASS
ALONG AS WELL. SHINE OLA, WHICH
IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR. THEY SHARE A
WALL. BUT IT’S A BRICK WALL AND
ESSENTIALLY A FIREWALL, SO THE
FIRE DIDN’T SPREAD. THERE’S NO
DAMAGE OVER THERE. ALSO YOU
CAN’T SEE IT FROM HERE. BUT
THERE IS A BREWERY ON THE
BACKSIDE OF THIS. THEY OWN THAT,
AS PART OF THEIR OPERATION IS AN
OLD VICTORIAN HOME THAT THEY
PURCHASED AND CONVERTED. THAT
ALSO DOESN’T HAVE ANY DAMAGE
BECAUSE AGAIN IT WAS SEPARATE,
AND THERE WAS A FIRE WALL OF
BRICK WALL. IN BETWEEN WERE IN
MIDTOWN NICK MONACELLI FOR LOCAL
WE CERTAINLY FEEL FOR THE OWNERS
THERE, AND THIS COMMUNITY HAS
BEEN GOING THERE FOR YEARS.
NICK. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.
BROTHER SMALL TOWN OF VIVALDI IN
TEXAS IS STILL TRYING TO MAKE
SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENED THERE ON
TUESDAY. THERE’S NEW INFORMATION
FROM OFFICIALS THAT’S REALLY
ADDING TO THE CONFUSION AND THE
PAIN. IN THE FRUSTRATION THAT’S
BEING FELT BY RESIDENTS THERE,
BUT IT WILL. FORK IS IN TEXAS
WITH THE LATEST EMOTIONS STILL
RAW HERE IN SOUTH TEXAS, THAT
NEW DETAILS AND CHANGING FACTS,
MAKING THE PAIN AND SUFFERING
EVEN WORSE BUILDING THOSE DOORS
WERE LOCKED. IN A SMALL TOWN
ALREADY GRAPPLING WITH THE
SUDDEN LOSS OF 19 CHILDREN AND
TWO TEACHERS OFFICIAL ANSWERS
ONLY LEADING TO MORE QUESTIONS.
WHY THE GUNMAN WAS ABLE TO ENTER
THE SCHOOL THROUGH AN UNLOCKED
DOOR AND WAS THERE A SCHOOL
OFFICER ON CAMPUS AND WAS THAT
SCHOOL OFFICER ARMED? NO. NO BUT
WEDNESDAY. THIS IS WHAT
OFFICIALS SAID THERE WAS A BRAVE
CONSULTED INDEPENDENT SCHOOL
DISTRICT RESOURCE OFFICER THAT
APPROACHED HIM. ENGAGED THEM,
AND AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOT
GUNFIRE WAS NOT EXCHANGED. FOUR
MINUTES AFTER THE SHOOTER
ENTERED LOCAL POLICE ARRIVED TO
THE CHAOTIC SCENE ENTRY
INITIALLY BECAUSE OF THE GUNFIRE
THEY’RE RECEIVING. IT TOOK
APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR FOR THE
U. S. BORDER PATROL TACTICAL
TEAM TO MAKE ENTRY, THEN SHOOT
AND KILL THE SUSPECT, BUT NOT IN
TIME TO SAVE 10 YEAR OLD LEXI
RUBIO. ONE DAY. I KNOW I CAN’T
HOLD HER BLANKET. TOUCH IT. THIS
IS THE ONLY THING I CAN HOPE THE
OFF DUTY. YOU, VAL, THE
SHERIFF’S DEPUTY HAD JUST SEEN
HIS DAUGHTER AT A SCHOOL
CEREMONY. 30 MINUTES BEFORE YOU
KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE THERE
, AND WE DIDN’T THAT I DIDN’T
TAKE HER HOME. I MADE THIS HUGE
MISTAKE AND YOU CAN NEVER FIX IT
. PARENTS UNIMAGINABLE PAIN THAT
MAY NEVER TOTALLY HEAL.
PRESIDENT BIDEN AND THE FIRST
LADY ARE PLANNING TO GIVE THEIR
PERSONAL CONDOLENCES WITH THE
VISIT HERE ON SUNDAY, THE FIRST
OF 21 FUNERALS PLANNED TO BEGIN
NEXT WEEK. THAT’S THE LATEST IN
YOUR BODY. TEXAS I’M WENDY WOLF
BACK TO YOU. WENDY. THANK YOU
FOR THE UPDATE. AND AFTER THE
SHAKEUP IN THE RACE FOR
GOVERNOR, FIVE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATES ARE NOW OFFICIALLY
OFF THE BALLOT AFTER A SPLIT
VOTE ALONG PARTY LINES AT THE
STATE BOARD OF CANVASSERS
MEETING ON THURSDAY. THOSE
CANDIDATES INCLUDE FORMER
DETROIT POLICE CHIEF JAMES CRAIG
PERRY JOHNSON. DONNA BRANDENBURG
, MICHAEL MARQUEE AND MIKE BROWN
. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF
FRAUDULENT PETITION SIGNATURES
ACROSS THEIR CAMPAIGNS. BUT BOTH
CRAIG AND JOHNSON’S CAMPAIGNS
PLAN TO FIGHT THIS IN COURT. THE
BUREAU HAD A LARGE TASK BEFORE
IT AND IT DID A VALIANT EFFORT.
UNFORTUNATELY THEY CANNOT DO
RANDOM SAMPLING AND THEY CANNOT
DO AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION.
THE BOARD OF CANVASSERS HAS SAID
MANY OF THESE SIGNATURES WERE
COLLECTED BY HIRED PETITIONERS,
BUT IT’S THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE CAMPAIGNS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY ARE VERIFIED BEFORE BEING
SUBMITTED. THE SEC HAS FILED
FRAUD CHARGES AGAINST THE
DETROIT BASED HEDGE FUND. THE
COMPLAINT, SAYS ANDREW BENNETT
BROOKS, OWNER OF A ALL WEATHER
ALPHA PARTNER, SOLICITED AND
RAISED $39 MILLION FROM OVER 100
INVESTORS FOR PRIVATE FUND THAT
HE MANAGED IT WENT ON TO SAY
MIDDLEBROOKS MADE FALSE AND
MISLEADING STATEMENTS TO
PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS, CLAIMING
THE FUND WAS PERFORMING BETTER
THAN IT WAS. THE SEC SAYS HE
TRANSFERRED AT LEAST $470,000 TO
HIS WIFE’S BUSINESS. $750,000 TO
HIS PERSONAL ACCOUNT AND $64,000
TO PAY FOR JEWELRY. THE FBI
AGENTS ACCUSED OF BOTCHING THE
INVESTIGATION INTO THE LARRY
NASSAR SEX ASSAULT CASE WILL NOT
BE CHARGED. THAT’S THE DECISION
FROM THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT,
WHICH JUST COMPLETED ITS THIRD
REVIEW OF THE CLAIMS AGAINST TWO
AGENTS. ACCORDING TO THE
INSPECTOR GENERAL’S REPORT, THE
FBI AGENTS WERE FIRST ALERTED
ABOUT THE SEX ABUSE IN 2015, BUT
FAILED TO OPEN A FORMAL
INVESTIGATION OR INFORM FEDERAL
OR STATE AUTHORITIES IN
MICHIGAN. NASSER WAS FINALLY
ARRESTED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016
DURING AN INVESTIGATION BY
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY POLICE
. NEITHER AGENT IS STILL WITH
THE FBI WITH ONE BEING FIRED AND
THE OTHER RETIRING. THERE’S A
NEW REPORT THAT SHEDDING LIGHT
ON THESE VIRTUAL LEARNING APPS
COMING UP. WE’LL TELL YOU WHY
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IS
GETTING INVOLVED AND WHAT THESE
APPS WERE DOING DURING THE
PANDEMIC. BUT FIRST, THE CDC IS
INVESTIGATING MORE CASES OF
MONKEYPOX ACROSS THE US AND
