SEVERAL VEHICLES, SENDING THEM
PLOWING INTO EACH OTHER, AND IN
AN INSTANT, TWO LIVES WERE LOST.
YOU BETTER TAKE ONE DAY AT A
TIME AND ENJOY IT. BECAUSE THESE
PEOPLE THAT ARE DOING 90 $95
FREEWAY NOWADAYS BATTLE BEING
SPEED LIMIT. IT’S NOT GOOD FOR
ANYBODY ELSE. IT’S JUST HOW
PEOPLE ARE DRIVING. THEY NEED TO
SLOW DOWN IN FARMINGTON HILLS
TODAY, TIM PAMPLIN LOCAL 4 YEAH
, THIS IS THE SECOND CRASH THIS
WEEK WITH MULTIPLE FATALITIES.
TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED TUESDAY
IN A CRASH ON I 94 NEAR
TELEGRAPH. ALL RIGHT. WE WANT TO
GET TO MORE BREAKING NEWS THIS
TIME IN AUBURN HILLS. THAT’S
WHERE CREWS ARE BATTLING A FIRE
AT THE COUNTRYSIDE. TOWN HOUSES
ON SQUIRREL JUST NORTH OF WALTON
. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE FIRE HAS
DAMAGED MULTIPLE UNITS. THERE
WILL BE SURE TO UPDATE YOU AS
SOON AS WE LEARN ANY NEW
INFORMATION. I KNEW AT FIVE, A
JUDGE HAS ORDERED EVIDENCE IN
THE OXFORD SCHOOL SHOOTING CASE
TO BE SHARED WITH THE FAMILIES
OF THE VICTIMS WHO ARE SUING THE
DISTRICT, AMONG OTHERS. THAT
JUDGE’S ORDER COMES ON THE VERY
SAME DAY ACCUSED SHOOTER ETHAN
CRUMBLEY APPEARED IN COURT.
SHAWN LEY IS FOLLOWING BOTH
ANGLES FORCE TONIGHT, SEAN. SO
WHAT KIND OF EVIDENCE ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT HERE? NAMELY
KIMBERLY AND ALL THIS IS
DEVELOPING LATE THIS AFTERNOON
VIDEO EVIDENCE VIDEO EVIDENCE
FROM INSIDE OXFORD HIGH SCHOOL,
THE DAY OF THE SHOOTING AND
VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THAT SHOOTING
AGAIN. ALL THIS UNFOLDING LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. HERE IS THE VERY
LATEST A JUDGE LATE TODAY,
ORDERING OXFORD SCHOOLS AND THE
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE
TO RELEASE EVIDENCE FROM THE
NOVEMBER 30TH OXFORD SCHOOL
SHOOTING, AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE
SCHOOL SECURITY CAMERA VIDEO OF
THE SHOOTING ATTORNEY VAN
JOHNSON, REPRESENTING THE
FAMILIES OF VICTIMS TAKE MERE
AND JUSTIN SCHILLING, ALONG WITH
FAMILIES WHOSE CHILDREN WERE
INJURED IN THE SHOOTING, PUSHED
FOR THE RELEASE OF THE VIDEO AND
OTHER EVIDENCE, THE SHERIFF’S
OFFICE AND PROSECUTION. DID NOT
WANT THIS EVIDENCE OUT BEFORE
TRIAL. HERE’S BEN JOHNSON. THE
LAST THING I DO WORLD I WANT TO
DO IS SCREW UP A PROSECUTION BUT
BY GIVING THE VICTIMS EVIDENCE,
SEAN SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THIS
TRAGEDY, HOW THIS IS RIGHT.
SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT. I
DON’T GET I REALLY DON’T JOHNSON
SAYS THE FAMILIES WANT HIM TO
HAVE THE EVIDENCE AND FOR HIM TO
SEE THE VIDEO, AND THEN THEY
WILL HAVE A COMPASSIONATE
DISCUSSION. IF THE FAMILIES ARE
READY TO VIEW IT. SHERIFF
MICHAEL BOUCHARD SAYS HE DOES
NOT WANT THE EVIDENCE TO CAUSE
ANY FAIR TRIAL ISSUES, AND HE
HOPES THE FAMILIES HAVE THE
PROPER SUPPORT AROUND THEM. IF
THEY CHOOSE TO WATCH THE VIDEO.
IT IS A TERRIBLE VIDEO. EVEN FOR
A SEASON LAW ENFORCEMENT
PROFESSIONAL. IT’S TERRIBLE IF
IT HAS ANY EFFECT ON OUR
PROSECUTORS, ABILITY TO HOLD
PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE. THEN THAT’S
MY CAVEAT AS WELL. I DON’T WANT
IT RELEASED IF SHE BELIEVES IT’S
GOING TO AFFECT THE JURY POOL OR
ANY KIND OF ISSUES BECAUSE
TYPICALLY CIVIL GOES AFTER
CRIMINAL WE JUST SPOKE TO THE
SHERIFF JUST MINUTES AGO. ALL
THIS AGAIN DEVELOPING THAT VIDEO
HAS NOT BEEN HANDED OVER QUITE
JUST YET TO ATTORNEY THEN
JOHNSON, WHO WILL VIEW IT FIRST
AND NOT RELEASE IT, AND THEN
POSSIBLY SHARED WITH FAMILY
MEMBERS WHO MAY WANT TO SEE IT.
THAT’S WHERE THINGS ARE RIGHT
NOW. IT IS NOT KNOW WHEN HE WILL
GET THAT EVIDENCE. ALSO THE
PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE IN OAKLAND
COUNTY FOUGHT AGAINST THIS. WE
ASKED THEM IF THEY HAVE COMMENT
ABOUT THIS. ALONG WITH OXFORD
SCHOOLS WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN
THEY GET BACK TO US. ALSO THIS
MORNING, THE ACCUSED SHOOTER’S
TRIAL WAS MOVED BACK TO JANUARY
OF 2023 ANOTHER THING TO KEEP AN
EYE ON WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT.

THE BOY. HODGES WAS DENIED.
BANNON WILL BE BACK IN COURT
JUNE 29TH OBVIOUSLY WILL BE
FOLLOWING THIS CASE EVERY STEP
OF THE WAY. KIM DE’VEON BACK TO
YOU. THANK YOU NOW TO A MAJOR
RULING TODAY BY THE U. S SUPREME
COURT THAT’S DELIVERING A DIRECT
BLOW TO GUN CONTROL EFFORTS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT STRIKES
DOWN A NEW YORK GUN LAW THAT’S
BEEN ONE OF THE STRICTEST IN THE
COUNTRY BRIDGE JACKSON IN
WASHINGTON. WITH THE REACTION
POURING IN BRIEF TODAY’S SUPREME
COURT RULING EXPANDED GUN RIGHTS
, MAKING IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO
CARRY FIREARMS IN PUBLIC FOR
SELF DEFENSE. IN A 63 RULING,
THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN IN
NEW YORK GUN CONTROL LAW
REQUIRING PEOPLE TO DEMONSTRATE
A SPECIAL NEED FOR A LICENSE TO
CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON OUTSIDE
OF THEIR HOME. I THINK IT’S A
BIG WIN. OBVIOUSLY I LOOK
FORWARD TO READING THE WHOLE
THING WILL ONLY PUT MORE
CITIZENS OF NEW YORK CITY IN
HARM’S WAY TODAY, THE MAYOR OF
NEW YORK, OUTRAGED BY THE RULING
AND VOWING TO FIGHT BACK, WE
CANNOT ALLOW NEW YORK TO BECOME
THE WILD, WILD WEST. THAT IS
UNACCEPTABLE. LAWYERS FOR THE
STATE SAID THE LAW PROMOTES
PUBLIC SAFETY AND CLAIMS
STRIKING IT DOWN WOULD LEAD TO
MORE GUNS AND MORE CRIME WITH US
BEFORE, BUT CHALLENGERS ARGUED
THE LAW MAKES IT VIRTUALLY
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE ORDINARY, LAW
ABIDING CITIZEN TO OBTAIN A
LICENSE INJUSTICES AGREED. THIS
OPINION WAS WRITTEN BY JUSTICE
THOMAS PAUL HAS SAID BEFORE THAT
THE SECOND AMENDMENT HAS BEEN
TREATED AS A SECOND CLASS RIGHT
NOW, AND THIS IS REALLY A
RESPONSE TO THAT. IN A SCATHING
DISSENT, JUSTICE STEPHEN BREYER
REFERENCED GUN VIOLENCE AND
YOU’VE ALREADY TAXES IN BUFFALO,
NEW YORK. SEEING THE HIGH COURT
SEVERELY BURDENED STATES AIMING
TO LIMIT WHO CAN CARRY FIREARMS
. THE RULING COMES AS LAWMAKERS
DEBATE NEW BIPARTISAN GUN
LEGISLATION. AMERICANS HAVE
WAITED LONG ENOUGH. LET US
FINISH OUR JOB TODAY. I’M NOT
GOING TO DO ANYTHING THAT TAKES
AWAY THE SECOND MEMBER RIGHT
FROM LA BY THE AMERICANS.
TODAY’S RULING COULD LEAD TO AN
EXPANSION OF GUN RIGHTS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY, JUST AS MANY ARE
PUSHING FOR TIGHTER GUN LAWS. IN
A STATEMENT, PRESIDENT BIDEN
SAID HE IS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED
BY TODAY’S SUPREME COURT RULING
AND URGED STATES TO CONTINUE TO
ENACT AND ENFORCE LAWS THAT
PROTECT COMMUNITIES FROM GUN
VIOLENCE. OUTSIDE THE SUPREME
COURT. I AM VERY JACKSON FOR
LOCAL 4 A BRIEF THANK YOU.
GASOLINE PRICES ARE CONTINUING
TO DIP A BIT. IN MICHIGAN. THE
STATEWIDE AVERAGES NOW 5 11
ABOUT TWO CENTS DOWN FROM
YESTERDAY IN METRO DETROIT.
WE’RE PAYING 5 21 THAT’S DOWN
FROM 5 23. OUR PRICES IN THE
STATE ARE STILL HIGHER THAN THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE. THAT’S BELOW
$5 AT 4 94 GALLON GAS PRICES
STILL ABOVE $5 A GALLON MOST
PLACES GOVERNOR WHITMER WAS
ASKED TODAY IF SHE PLANS TO
FOLLOW PRESIDENT BIDEN’S REQUEST
TO REPEAL THE STATE GAS TAX. THE
STATE TAX THAT CAME DURING A
SPEECH TO THE MACOMB COUNTY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, AND
GRANT HERMES WAS AT THE EVENT
WITH MORE ON WHAT YOU HAVE TO
SAY ABOUT THAT GRANT. HEY DEVON
, THE GOVERNOR SAYS SHE STILL
WANTS TO FIND A WAY TO EASE SOME
OF THAT PAIN THAT WE’RE ALL
FEELING WILL FILL UP THE GAS
TANK. BUT TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO
FIND THAT COMPROMISE IN LANSING
, AND SHE ALSO ADDRESSED SOME
OTHER MAJOR ISSUES THIS MORNING.
GOVERNOR WHITMER FOCUSING ON
FAMILY AND THE ECONOMY IN MACOMB
COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AGAIN
BACKING PRESIDENT BIDEN’S ASKED
TO SUSPEND THE FEDERAL GAS TAX
AND PUSHING FOR A STOP THE
STATE’S SALES TAX ON GAS
PROPOSED A TAX REBATE OF $500
CHECK. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT I
THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL, AND WE
COULD ACTUALLY GET TO PEOPLE
QUICKLY THERE. I’VE ALSO
SUGGESTED A ELIMINATING THE
SALES TAX ON GAS, WHICH IS A
SMALLER OVER TIME RELIEF.
MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS HAVE
REPEATEDLY URGED THE STATE TO
END ITS GAS TAX, INCLUDING
SENDING A BILL TO WHITMAN’S DESK
. THE GOVERNOR VETOING THAT BILL
BACK IN APRIL, SAYING IT WOULD
PUT TOO MUCH OF A HOLE IN ROAD
FUNDING. EFFECTIVELY STOPPING
CONSTRUCTION. WHITMORE ALSO
MAKING THE ECONOMIC CASE FOR
KEEPING ABORTION, A WRITE IN
MICHIGAN, MAKING THE ARGUMENT AS
A NEW BILL INTRODUCED IN THE
STATEHOUSE, MAKING ABORTION
MANSLAUGHTER, SIGNALING JUST HOW
FAR APART SHE AND REPUBLICANS
ARE ON THE ISSUE, ENSURING THAT
WOMEN HAVE BODILY AUTONOMY AND
EQUAL RIGHTS IS CRUCIAL TO OUR
ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN
TALENT AS WELL IN MICHIGAN.
SIGNED A SWEEPING PACKAGE OF
CHILDCARE BILLS INTO LAW DEGREE
ON THIS TIME ROUND UP TO 11
O’CLOCK. OH MY GOD. TOGETHER WE
DID TRY TO TALK TO THE GOVERNOR
TODAY, BUT WE WERE TOLD SHE WAS
UNAVAILABLE. SHE DID TELL THE
CROWD, HOWEVER, THAT
NEGOTIATIONS ARE STILL GOING ON
WHEN IT COMES TO THAT SALES GAS
TAX HERE IN THE STATE OF
MICHIGAN, BUT THE CLOCK IS
TICKING. THE LEGAL DEADLINE FOR
THE STATE BUDGET IS THE END OF
THIS MONTH. GET DOWN TO DETROIT,
GRANT HERMES. EXACTLY RIGHT.
ALRIGHT, GRANT. WE’VE GOT A LOT
MORE TO COME HERE ON THE NEWS AT
FIVE. LET’S GET OVER TO BRETT
COLLAR AND SEE WHAT’S COMING UP,
BRETT. VERY NICE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN DRONE FOUR
OVER HART PLAZA, LOTS OF SUN AND
MORE OF IT FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT
ALSO SOME RAIN WE’LL TALK ABOUT
WHEN YOU’LL MEET THE UMBRELLA
COMING UP. AND NEW REVELATIONS
SURROUNDING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
ATTEMPTS TO OVERTURN THE 2020
ELECTION SOMEWHERE. ILLNESSES
ARE SOARING THIS WEEK, BUT AT
LEAST ONE WINTER VIRUSES FINALLY
FADING AWAY. I’M DOCTOR FRANK
MCGEORGE COMING UP. I’LL SHOW
YOU WHAT’S UP AND WHAT’S DOWN IN
