ROUGE PARK. POLICE TELL US IT
APPEARS SOME SORT OF SHOOTOUT
HAPPENED AND A MAN WAS SHOT
SEVERAL TIMES AND DIED. POLICE
ALSO SAY THERE COULD BE MORE
VICTIMS. THERE WERE POSSIBLY TWO
OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT WERE
EITHER IN THE VEHICLE OR NEAR
THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. WE
BELIEVE IT MAY BE A POSSIBILITY
. WE HAVE ANOTHER PERSON THAT
MADE THE INJURED. IT LOOKS LIKE
THIS WAS A SHOOTOUT, BUT RIGHT
NOW IT’S STILL EARLY IN OUR
INVESTIGATION, SO IT’S HARD FOR
US TO DETERMINE THAT, AND WE’VE
GOT NO REPORTS THAT ANYBODY ELSE
HAS SHOWED UP ABOUT ANY OF THE
AREA HOSPITALS SO THAT’S WHERE
WE STAND RIGHT NOW. AND AS OF
THIS MORNING, POLICE HAVE MADE
NO ARRESTS AND ARE LOOKING FOR A
FOUR DOOR DARK DODGE JOURNEY

SOUTHFIELD POLICE. UPDATE ABOUT
A STORY WE FIRST BROUGHT YOU
YESTERDAY MORNING ABOUT A CRASH
ON I 94 NEAR THE SOUTHFIELD
FREEWAY. WE LEARNED THAT THREE
PEOPLE HAVE DIED AFTER THAT
CRASH THAT INVOLVED MOTORCYCLE
AND AN SUV. IT HAPPENED AROUND 2
55 YESTERDAY MORNING ON
WESTBOUND 94 NEAR THE SOUTHFIELD
FREEWAY, TROOPERS SAY A SILVER
ENVOY TRAVELING EAST CROSSED THE
MEDIAN INTO WESTBOUND TRAFFIC,
HITTING A YUKON AND A
MOTORCYCLE. 46 YEAR OLD MAN IN A
34 YEAR OLD WOMAN IN THE ENVOY
DIED, AS WELL AS THE 45 YEAR OLD
MOTORCYCLISTS. THE DRIVER AND
PASSENGER OF THE YUKON ARE IN
SERIOUS CONDITION. TIME NOW IS
704 AND PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN
CONTINUES HIS BATTLE AGAINST
COVID 19, THE PRESIDENT’S DOCTOR
SAYS HE’S CONTINUING TO IMPROVE
BUT IS NOW EXPERIENCING A SORE
THROAT COUGH AND BODY ACHES. IN
A LETTER RELEASED SATURDAY, DR
KEVIN O’CONNOR SAYS THE
PRESIDENT MOST LIKELY CONTRACTED
THE B A FIVE VARIANT AND HAS
COMPLETED HIS SECOND FULL DAY OF
TREATMENT AND IS TOLERATING IT
WELL. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
VACCINATED AND TWICE BOOSTED.
HE’S ISOLATING AT THE WHITE
HOUSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CDC
GUIDELINES. WELL IT IS THE
HIGHEST LEVEL OF ALERT ISSUED
FOR A DISEASE, THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION DECLARING MONKEYPOX
A GLOBAL HEALTH EMERGENCY,
SAYING WE HAVE AN OUTBREAK THAT
HAS SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD
RAPIDLY. KATHY PARK HAS DETAILS.
THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION,
SOUNDING THE ALARM ON THE RAPID
SPREAD A MONKEY PARKS. THE
GLOBAL MONKEYPOX OUTBREAK
REPRESENTS A PUBLIC HEALTH
EMERGENCY OF INTERNATIONAL
CONCERN. THE HIGHEST ALERT LEVEL
TRIGGERED WITH MORE THAN 16,000
CASES OF MONKEYPOX REPORTED IN
ROUGHLY 75 COUNTRIES AND
TERRITORIES THIS YEAR IN THE US
, THERE HAVE BEEN NEARLY 3000
CASES IN 45 STATES MAIN, JOINING
THE GROWING LIST THIS WEEKEND.
THE MAJORITY OF THE INFECTIONS
HAVE BEEN TRACED TO MEN WHO HAVE
SEX WITH MEN AND CAN SPREAD
THROUGH DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
INFECTIOUS RASH, PROLONGED FACE
TO FACE CONTACT OR INTIMATE
PHYSICAL CONTACT. A NEW STUDY
FROM THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF
MEDICINE FOUND THAT TRANSMISSION
WAS SUSPECTED TO HAVE OCCURRED
THROUGH SEXUAL ACTIVITY IN 95%
OF THE PERSONS WITH INFECTION.
IN ADDITION TO THE INCREASE IN
THE NUMBER OF CASES IS THE
CONCERN THAT THIS IS GOING TO GO
BEYOND THE CURRENT SOCIAL
NETWORK OF HIGH RISK INDIVIDUALS
AND THAT WE’RE GOING TO START
LOOKING AT THIS TO BECOME
GENERALIZED ACROSS THE
POPULATION. ON FRIDAY, THE CDC
CONFIRMED THE FIRST TO US CASES
OF MONKEYPOX IN CHILDREN, WHICH
SOME HEALTH EXPERTS SAY COULD
HAVE HAPPENED THROUGH HOLDING,
FEEDING OR SHARING ITEMS LIKE
BETTING. BOTH OF THOSE CHILDREN
ARE TRACED BACK TO INDIVIDUALS
WHO COME FROM THE MEN WHO HAVE
SEX WITH MEN COMMUNITY THE GAY
MET AMEND COMMUNITY, THOSE
CHILDREN ARE DOING WELL. ALREADY
THE DEMAND FOR VACCINES IS
OVERWHELMING HEALTH DEPARTMENTS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN NEW YORK
CITY FRIDAY, 17,000 VACCINE
APPOINTMENTS WERE BOOKED WITHIN
30 MINUTES REALLY DIFFICULT TO
FIND AN APPOINTMENT LATELY. IN
RESPONSE TO THE OUTBREAK, THE
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES AND OUTSIDE 2.5 MILLION
DOSES WILL BEGIN ARRIVING OVER
THE NEXT YEAR. BUT UNTIL THEN,
SOME EXPERTS SAY, WE COULD BE
HEADED TOWARDS A NEW NORMAL. MY
BIG CONCERN IS THAT THIS BECOMES
NOW A PERMANENT FIXTURE THAT WE
TALK ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.
THAT WAS CATHY PARK REPORTING
FOR US THIS MORNING. I WAS
SWITCHING GEARS HERE. LET’S GET
A CHECK ON WHAT SHOULD BE
PAYING. YOU NEED TO FILL UP THE
GAS TANK THIS WEEKEND. GAS
PRICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY
CONTINUE TO GO DOWN HERE IN
MICHIGAN, THE AVERAGE GAS PRICES
FOR 44 GALLON IN METRO DETROIT
YOU’LL BE PAYING FOR 42. THAT’S
25 CENTS LOWER THAN THIS TIME
LAST WEEK BEFORE DOLLARS CASTS.
YOU DID LIKE, LIKE $4. IT WAS IT
WAS 4 98. WOW THAT’S INCREDIBLE
. I WAS JUST READING THAT.
SORRY. OKAY? GAS PRICES HAVE
BEEN FALLING STEADILY FOR LIKE
THE LAST 39 DAYS. RELIEF IS
FINALLY HERE A LITTLE BIT. IT IS
