SHOOTERS IN FOUR DAYS AND ON

HAVE TWO MEN IN CUSTODY, BUT
THEY’RE SCARED AND FEDUP.

HIS WALKER HE GAVE US A GUIDED
TOUR OF THE MANY BULLET HOMES IN
HIS CAR AND HOME.
GUNMEN BLASTING AWAY AT HIS HOME
AND APPARENTLY HIS 19-YEAR-OLD
SON.
>> LAST TIME MY SON--
I WAS LAYING ON THE COUCH WHEN
MY SON GOT SHOT AND HE TRIED TO
MY SON GOT SHOT AND HE TRIED TO
RUN IN AND I’M TRYING TO RUN
OUT.
SO, IT WAS CLOSE.

DON’T WANT TO GO ON CAMERA.

ROOM, I HEARD AT LEAST 20 SHOTS,
WE HIT THE DECK, WE WAS NOT
MESSING AROUND WITH IT.

WELL.
SHOOTINGS ON THREE DIFFERENT
NIGHTS.
I KNOW IT’S BAD.

>> THE WASHTENAW COUNTY PUT OUT
A PRESS RELEASE APOLOGIZING FOR
THE VIOLENCE, THAT IT STEMS FROM
A VIDEO SHOOT MURDER WHERE
22-YEAR-OLD ANDRE SMITH WAS SHOT
AND KILLED.
THE DEPARTMENT IS SYMPATHETIC TO
THE NEIGHBORHOOD’S PLIGHT.
>> THEY’RE ACKNOWLEDGING AND WE
UNDERSTAND THAT THE COMMUNITY IS
STRUGGLING WITH THE VIOLENCE AND
THERE’S SOME GOOD NEIGHBORS WHO
HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HELP US, WHO
ARE CALLING WHEN THINGS HAPPEN
OR LOOK SUSPICIOUS.
>> THE TWO MEN ARRESTED SHOULD
BE ARRAIGNED SOMETIME TOMORROW,
BUT YPSILANTI POLICE SAY THEY’RE
NOT SURE HOW MUCH FARTHER THIS
GOES OR WHETHER MORE PEOPLE
SHOULD BE INVOLVED.
SO THE RESIDENTS HERE REMAIN ON
EDGE.

FROM THE DAM FAILURES AND
FROM THE DAM FAILURES AND
FLOODING THIS PAST MAY IN
MIDLAND COUNTY WAS THIS, WIXOM
LAKE EMPTIED THE WATER THAT M
DRAWN PEOPLE TO LIVE THERE AND
VISIT THERE.
WE SENT TIM PAMPLIN TO TALK TO
PEOPLE HOW LABOR DAY WILL BE SO
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR.
I’M WALKING ON WIXOM LAKE BED.
THE WATER IS GONE, IT WENT
RUSHING OUT WHEN THE DAM
COLLAPSED.
>> WITHIN TWO HOURS THE WATER
WAS GONE.
WAS GONE.
>> THEY WATCHED THEIR TWO
DAUGHTERS FLOL FROLICKING IN THE
HOME AND FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
>> OUR COUSINS WOULD COME HERE
AND SWIM IN THE LAKE AND SWIM
FOR LIKE A LONG TIME, LIKE
HOURS.
>> YES, THE LAKE WAS THE
CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND.
AND WITH ALL THE WATER GONE,
WELL, THEY FEEL A LITTLE LOST.
>> WE’D BE COOKING AND HAVING
FRIENDS OVER.
>> YEAH.
>> WE’D BE ON THE BOAT, YOU
KNOW, HAVING FUN AND HOSTING AND
NOW WE’RE LEAVING FOR THE
WEEKEND, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE
DON’T WANT TO BE HERE.

RESIDENTS SAY THAT CAN’T HAPPEN
SOON ENOUGH.
IN EDENVILLE THIS AFTERNOON, TIM
PAMPLIN, LOCAL 4.
>> SEVEN MORE PEOPLE IN MICHIGAN
HAVE DIED OF COVID-19 AS THE
STATE IS REPORTING THE HIGHEST
NUMBER OF NEW COVID-19 CASES
THIS WEEK.
THAT NUMBER, 982.
YOU CAN SEE AT THE FAR LIGHT OF
THE CHART WHICH SHOWS HOW CASE
COUNTS HAVE FLUCTUATED SINCE
MONDAY.
GYMS FINALLY HAVE THE GREEN
LIGHT TO REOPEN NEXT WEDNESDAY.
FACTS TO CONSIDER TO REDUCE THE
RISK FOR YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
>> AS YOU PREPARE TO HIT THE
TREADMILL OR PUMP SOME IRON,
DON’T LET DOWN YOUR GUARD.
OUR DR. FRANK McGEORGE SAYS THE
MORE SPACE YOU CAN PUT BETWEEN
YOURSELF AND OTHERS, THE BETTER.
>> RIGHT NOW, WE BELIEVE THAT
THE PRIMARY ROUTE OF COVID
SPREAD IS THROUGH THE AIR.
SO, BEING IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE
SO, BEING IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE
WITH OTHERS BREATHILY HEAVILY
ISN’T IDEAL.
DISTANCE FROM OTHERS, AND MASK
USE EVEN WHILE EXERCISING IS
YOUR FRIEND.
VENTILATION, BRINGING IN CLEAN
AIR FROM THE OUTSIDE AND KEEPING
AIR CIRCULATING IS REALLY
IMPORTANT SINCE BREATHING HARDER
MAY REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
MAY REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
MASKS, CLEANING SURFACES IS
IMPORTANT, AND IT’S NOT AS
IMPORTANT AS OTHER MEASURES,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T TOUCH
YOUR FACE.
YOUR FACE.
>> FOR THAT REASON, DR. McGEORGE
SAYS IT’S NOT NECESSARY TO WEAR
GLOVES WHEN YOU WORK OUT.
>> MANY GYMS MAY ENCOURAGE
GLOVES.
THEY PROBABLY CAUSE PEOPLE TO
WASH THEIR HANDS LESS OR USE
HAND SANITIZER LESS OFTEN, WHICH
IS NOT HELPFUL.
>> TRY TO USE THE GYM WHEN THE
FEWEST NUMBER ARE THERE AND IF
YOUR PART OF YOUR WORKOUT CAN BE
DONE OUTSIDE, DO IT THERE
INSTEAD.
>> ANY EXERCISE YOU CAN DO
OUTDOORS IS BETTER.
>> FINALLY, DON’T OVERDO IT.
>> IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO THE
GYM SINCE THEY CLOSED, TAKE IT
EASY AT FIRST JUST IN CASE
YOU’RE NOT IN THE SHAPE YOU
THINK YOU’RE IN.
>> ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
>> DOCTOR McGEORGE SAYS SOME
PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED THEIR MASKS
WILL TRAP TOO MUCH CARBON
DIOXIDE WHEN WORKING OUT.
DIOXIDE WHEN WORKING OUT.
HE SAYS THERE’S NO EVIDENCE THAT
THAT, CARBON DIOXIDE CAN MOVE IN
AND OUT OF THE MASK.
