LIVE. FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS FIRST AT FOUR STARTS NOW. GOOD AFTERNOON. I’M
KAREN DREW FIRST HIT FORWARD.
DETROIT POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING
A SHOOTING THAT INJURED BOTH A
TWO YEAR OLD GIRL AND A MAN WHO
WAS JUST WORKING ON HIS CAR AND
HAPPENED IN SOUTHWEST DETROIT
AND WIT STREET NEAR WOODMERE.
POLICE SAY SOMEONE INTO SILVER
OR GRAY JEEP ROLLED UP AND THEN
STARTED SHOOTING AT ANOTHER CAR
. THE TWO YEAR OLD WAS IN THAT
VEHICLE WITH HER FATHER AND TWO
OTHER PEOPLE. WHEN SHE WAS SHOT
UNDER THE ARM. THE SHOOTER DROVE
AWAY STILL FIRING SHOTS, HITTING
THAT 55 YEAR OLD MAN WHO WAS
WORKING ON HIS CAR WITH A STRAY
BULLET. NINE O’CLOCK IN THE
MORNING. DRIVING DOWN THE
STREET. AND NOW YOU’VE GOT A TWO
YEAR OLD GIRL THAT CLEARLY HAS
NOTHING TO DO WITH WHATEVER THE
DISPUTE WAS OR WHATEVER CAUSED
THIS SITUATION. AND YOU GOT A
GUY WHO’S TRYING TO FIX HIS CAR
IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE, AND
THEY’RE BOTH SHOT. BOTH VICTIMS
ARE IN SERIOUS CONDITION. WE’LL
HAVE A LIVE UPDATE ON THE
INVESTIGATION TONIGHT AT FIVE.
WE’VE LEARNED A DETROIT MAN HAS
BEEN CHARGED WITH EIGHT COUNTS
OF ARSON IN CONNECTION WITH A
HOUSE FIRE THAT INJURED SEVERAL
FIREFIGHTERS WHEN THE HOME
COLLAPSED WHEN COUNTY PROSECUTOR
KIM WORTHY SAYS 34 YEAR OLD
ANTHONY FIELDS SET THE HOME ON
FIRE BEFORE RUNNING AWAY, HIS
ATTORNEY HAS ENTERED A NOT
GUILTY PLEA. WE SHOWED YOU THE
DRAMATIC RESCUE ON WEST
HOLLYWOOD BACK ON THURSDAY.
FIELDS IS DUE BACK IN COURT NEXT

HOURS AND AN ESCAPED PRISONER
FROM EAST POINT IS STILL ON THE
LOOSE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PHOTO

KAREN BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT, WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, HANK.
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
CONCERNS ABOUT ELECTION
MISINFORMATION, AND THERE ARE
PENALTIES FOR SPREADING BAD
INFORMATION. OBVIOUSLY, WE ARE
CHECKING WITH ALL OF THAT, AND
WE’LL HAVE MORE AT FIVE AND SIX
LATER TONIGHT. WE’VE GOT YOU
COVERED WITH RESULTS AND
ANALYSIS OF THE PRIMARY RACES
WILL HAVE UPDATES ON TV STARTING

DEVIN SCILLIAN WILL HOST A
ROUNDTABLE OF MICHIGAN POWER
PLAYERS AND POLLSTERS TO ANALYZE
EMERGING TRENDS. THAT’S OUR
LOCAL 4 PLUS ALSO STARTING AT

OTHER NUMBERS TODAY, DEALING
WITH THE CORONAVIRUS HERE IN
MICHIGAN IN THE PAST SEVEN DAYS
, THE STATE HAS RECORDED MORE
THAN 20,000 NEW CONFIRMED AND
PROBABLE CASES. THAT IS UP
SLIGHTLY FROM LAST WEEK. THE
DAILY AVERAGE IS ABOUT THE SAME
WITH NEARLY 2900 CASES. THIS
WEEK, THE STATE ALSO REPORTED
ANOTHER 106 DEATHS LINKED TO
COVID 19. PLUS, WE HAVE ONE MORE
NOTE ON PRESIDENT BIDEN’S BATTLE
WITH COVID. WE ARE TOLD HE
CONTINUES TO TEST POSITIVE. AND
A QUOTE. LOOSE COUGH HAS
RETURNED, BUT HE CONTINUES TO
FEEL WELL. ALRIGHT LET’S TAKE A
QUICK LOOK AT THE FIRST
FORECAST. IT IS FEELING PRETTY
NICE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW.
COMPLAINTS HERE ON THIS TUESDAY
REALLY FEELING NICE. THE SUN
SHINES OUT A GOOD EVENING TO BE
OUT IF YOU CAN’T DO SOME
GRILLING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,
FOR MOST OF US TEMPERATURES ARE
SITTING NICE IN THE EIGHTIES,
BUT A COUPLE OF SPOTS ARE IN THE
SEVENTIES. THAT BOTTOM NUMBER,
THOUGH THAT’S KEY. THAT’S THE
HUMIDITY ANYTIME IT’S LESS THAN
50% DURING THE DAY. YOU’RE
SITTING PRETTY. THAT CHANGES
TOMORROW AS A MUCH MCGEE OR AIR
MASS IS SET TO RETURN. BUT YOU
CAN SEE THE CLOUDS TWO HOURS
SOUTH. SOME RAIN TO THE NORTH
AND WEST WERE DRY FOR THE REST
OF TODAY. TOMORROW THAT CHANGES
, SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED AND SOME COULD BE
STRONG TO SEVERE. YOU CAN SEE
THAT YELLOW SHADE WILL TALK,
TIMING AND THREATS. COMING UP
HERE IN JUST A BIT. ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, BRO. HOUSE SPEAKER
NANCY PELOSI IGNORED THREATS
FROM CHINA TODAY AS SHE LANDED
IN TAIWAN FOR HISTORIC VISIT.
SHE IS THE HIGHEST RANKING
AMERICAN OFFICIAL TO VISIT THE
ISLAND IN 25 YEARS NOW CHINA IS
RETALIATED AND THE WORLD IS
WATCHING TO SEE IF THAT
SITUATION ESCALATES. KIMBERLY
GILL IN THE NEWSROOM AND KIM.
HER VISIT WAS JUST ADDRESSED AT
A WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING. IT WAS
KAREN. GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU
WILL HAVE THOSE NEW COMMENTS
COMING UP IN JUST A MOMENT. BUT,
YOU KNOW, CHINA CLAIMS THE
ISLAND OF TAIWAN AS PART OF ITS
TERRITORY, SO IT’S VERY SICK.
SENSITIVE ABOUT HOW THE ISLAND
IS TREATED ON THE WORLD STAGE.
IT VIEWS VISITS BY KEY FOREIGN
OFFICIALS AS RECOGNITION OF
TAIWAN’S SOVEREIGNTY AND ITS
BEEN WARNING THE US OF SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES IF PELOSI STOPPED
THERE, SO THE WORLD HELD ITS
BREATH AS THE HOUSE SPEAKER’S
PLANE LANDED TODAY AT TAIPEI’S
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. PELOSI
LANDED SAFELY, BUT THEN CHINA
QUICKLY ANNOUNCED IT WILL
CONDUCT MILITARY MANEUVERS IN
RETALIATION FOR HER ARRIVAL.
CHINA SAYS THE ACTION DETERRENT
TO THE QUOTE NEGATIVE ACTIONS OF
THE UNITED STATES ON THE TAIWAN
ISSUE IN QUOTE A SPOKESPERSON
FOR THE NATIONAL SECURITY
COUNCIL SAYS THE SPEAKER HAS THE
RIGHT TO VISIT TAIWAN, AND HE’S
URGING CHINA TO AVOID FURTHER
ESCALATION. THERE’S NO REASON AS
I SAID YESTERDAY FOR BEIJING TO
TURN THIS VISIT. UH WHICH IS
CONSISTENT WITH LONGSTANDING U.
S POLICY INTO SOME SORT OF
CRISIS. OR USE IT AS A PRETEXT
TO INCREASE AGGRESSIVENESS AND
MILITARY ACTIVITY IN OR AROUND
THE TAIWAN STRAIT. NOW. OR
BEYOND HER TRAVEL. AND PELOSI’S
VISIT AS PART OF A TRIP THROUGH
ASIA THAT INCLUDES STOPS IN
SINGAPORE, JAPAN AS WELL AS
SOUTH KOREA. AND WILL, OF COURSE
BRING YOU UPDATES ON HER VISIT
AS NEEDED FOR NOW, KAREN WILL
SEND IT BACK TO YOU. ALRIGHT WE
APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU, KIM
GETTING TO THAT PART OF THE
SUMMER WHEN THOSE KIDS CRY OUT,
MOM, I’M SO BORED. THERE’S
NOTHING TO DO. DAD WELL ARE
POPULAR. DUCKMAN HAS NOW THERE’S
ACTUALLY PLENTY TO DO WITHOUT
EVER LEAVING THE HOUSE. SHE
FOUND THE SECRET TO A NEVER
ENDING FIELD TRIP AND JOINS US
LIVE FROM THE PACKARD. MOVING
GROUNDS OVER AND SHELBY
TOWNSHIP. ALL RIGHT, PAULA, HOW
DOES THIS WORK? OKAY SO, KAREN,
THIS IS ALL ICING AND I KNOW
THAT GAS PRICES ARE GOING DOWN,
BUT IT’S STILL PRETTY EXPENSIVE
TO GET TO PLACES. YET. MICHIGAN
HAS ALL OF THESE AMAZING
HISTORICAL PLACES THAT ARE
TUCKED IN NEIGHBORHOODS AND
LANDSCAPES, AND THIS IS REALLY A
GREAT WAY TO SEE THEM ALL
WITHOUT SPENDING A PENNY ON
PETROL. GO TO JUNIOR RANGER AND
CLICK ON THE FIRST DROP DOWN.
YOU COULD LIVE IN THE DETROIT
AREA, A LIFETIME AND HONESTLY,
NOT EXPERIENCE AS MUCH AS YOU
WILL ON YOUR WAY TO BECOMING A
JUNIOR RANGER WITH THE MOTOR
CITY’S NATIONAL HERITAGE AREA.
THE BRIGHT IDEA IS TO GET KIDS
MOVING AND LEARNING AND HAVING
FUN. EVEN WITHOUT LEAVING THE
HOUSE CURATED A COLLECTION OF
AUTOMOTIVE RESOURCES AND FUN
VIDEOS AND STORIES THAT WOULD
ILLUMINATE SOME OF THE NAMES
THAT YOU’VE HEARD. SO IF YOU
HEARD OF, UM HENRY FORD OR
DAVID, BUICK OR BILL READ IRAN,
YOU’LL LEARN MORE ABOUT THEM AND
UNDERSTAND WHY THESE NEIGHBORS
SO IMPORTANT. WHY DO WE DRIVE A
CADILLAC CAR TODAY? IT’S BECAUSE
OF THESE PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY
LIVE 14 YEAR OLD SOPHIE MORE,
WAS A TRUSTED ADVISOR TO HELP
BUILD THE PROGRAM. GRANDFATHER
WAS MAKING THE WEBSITE AND HE
WANTED ME TO BETA TEST THAT
BASICALLY GO THROUGH AND SEE IF
THEY’RE RUNNING PROBLEMS AND
ISSUES. ANYTHING THAT WAS LIKE
REALLY STOOD OUT TO ME. SO I
WENT THROUGH ALL OF THE, UH,
SITES WITH HIM IN HIS OFFICE,
AND I BASICALLY TOLD HIM WHAT
WAS WORKING WHAT DIDN’T WORK
WHAT I THINK COULD IMPROVE SOME
AREAS, SO IT WAS EASIER FOR KIDS
TO ACCESS. THE TOURS CAN TAKE
YOU ALL OVER MICHIGAN, AND YOU
CAN EXPERIENCE FUN STUFF IN A
VARIETY OF WAYS. I THOUGHT THE
PICKET PROVING GROUNDS THREE D
TOUR WAS THE MOST FASCINATING
BECAUSE YOU CAN ACTUALLY WALK
THE BUILDING VIRTUALLY AS IF
YOU’RE ACTUALLY THERE LEARN
ABOUT THE CARS AND THE PEOPLE
WHO BUILT THEM SEE THE CRACKS IN
THE FLOOR. IT’S SO REALISTIC.
YOU CAN ALMOST TOUCH EVERYTHING.
SOPHIE SAYS IT’S THIS KIND OF
INTERACTIVE QUALITY THAT WILL
REALLY ENGAGED CHILDREN AND YOU
WOULD GO THROUGH AND YOU WOULD
PRINT THIS OUT, UM, ON A SHEET
AND COLOR IT WITH CROWNS. WHERE
THINGS ARE YOU ANSWER THE
QUESTIONS. WHAT’S AN AUTOMAKER
FROM MOTOR CITY’S WHAT’S ANOTHER
FAMOUS BUILDING? THIS IS
EXCITING TO THEM, BECAUSE THEN
THEY CAN SEE WHAT DID WHAT DID
ALL THESE CARS LOOK LIKE? LIKE?
WHY DID THE 19 TWENTIES CAR
LOOKED LIKE THIS? THIS IS
INTERESTING BECAUSE IT LOOKS
DIFFERENT AND ALSO BECAUSE THEY
I THINK THE KIDS THEY LOOK COOL
SO YOU CAN COLOR IN THE MAP
VISIT WEBSITES, READ DATA WATCH
VIDEOS, SELF GUIDE YOURSELF WITH
WHATEVER INTERESTS YOU MOST OR
TRY NEW STUFF ENTIRELY. LOOK AT
THIS LOWEST PRICE PACKARD $3200
THEM’S WERE THE DAYS SO THEY’VE
GOT MORE THAN 50 LOCATIONS, 16
COUNTIES AND ONTARIO AGAIN. IF
YOUR CHILD SEES SOMETHING THEY
LIKE, SURE YOU CAN DRIVE TO IT,
BUT IT’S JUST AS EASY TO LET
YOUR FINGERS DO THE WALKING ON
YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD, AND
WE’RE GONNA MAKE IT EVEN EASIER
BECAUSE I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW
TO GET TO THAT JUNIOR RANGERS
PROGRAM BY GOING TO OUR WEBSITE,
CLICK ON DETROIT DOT COM MOST
FAVORITE IST STORY THIS MONTH.
ERIN LOVETT. AUGUST LAST YEAR. I
LOVE IT. I LOVE THE INTERACTIVE
PART AND OBVIOUSLY, ANY TIME YOU
CAN HAVE YOUR KIDS LEARN AND
