THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME THIS

00:04.701 --> 00:04.946
MORNING.

00:04.980 --> 00:07.336
IT IS BUT A DEVASTATING WEEK FOR

00:07.337 --> 00:08.406
ALL OF US.

00:08.417 --> 00:10.162
WE CONTINUE TO MOURN THE LOSS OF

00:10.196 --> 00:13.618
THE FOUR CHILDREN WHO WERE SHOT

00:13.620 --> 00:16.203
AND KILLED IN THE WEEK AT OXFORD

00:16.214 --> 00:17.335
HIGH SCHOOL.

00:17.369 --> 00:19.015
WE HAVE HEARD SOME NEWS THAT

00:19.026 --> 00:20.471
SOME OF THOSE INJURED IN TUESDAY

00:20.482 --> 00:22.869
SHOOTING HAD MADE SOME PROGRESS

00:22.903 --> 00:24.143
RECOVERING FROM THEIR INJURIES.

00:24.154 --> 00:26.324
WHILE THE PHYSICAL WOUNDS OF THE

00:26.357 --> 00:28.427
VICTIMS ARE STARTING TO HEAL,

00:28.428 --> 00:30.215
THE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS TO THE

00:30.216 --> 00:32.206
VICTIMS, STUDENTS, AND THE

00:32.217 --> 00:33.626
ENTIRE COMMUNITY, WILL LAST FOR

00:33.627 --> 00:34.171
YEARS.

00:34.182 --> 00:36.569
I CONTINUE TO WORK WITH

00:36.580 --> 00:38.413
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF MIKE

00:38.424 --> 00:39.813
BROUSSARD TO STAY CLOSE TO THE

00:39.847 --> 00:43.124
FACTS AND EVIDENCE OF THE CASE

00:43.125 --> 00:44.001
AS IT EVOLVES.

00:44.002 --> 00:45.889
MY ROLE AS THE OAKLAND COUNTY

00:45.900 --> 00:47.853
PROSECUTOR IS TO SEE JUSTICE FOR

00:47.864 --> 00:50.201
THE VICTIMS OF THIS TRAGEDY.

00:57.235 --> 01:01.163
THE OTHER VICTIMS HAVE HAD THEIR

01:01.174 --> 01:02.170
LIVES SHATTERED.

01:02.204 --> 01:04.247
AS I MENTIONED A FEW DAYS AGO, I

01:04.258 --> 01:05.857
HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK

01:05.868 --> 01:08.349
WITH THE PARENTS OF THE CHILDREN

01:08.383 --> 01:09.695
WHO WERE KILLED.

01:09.696 --> 01:10.615
ADDITIONALLY, MY OFFICE HAS

01:20.415 --> 01:21.516
OFFERING THEM SERVICES AND

01:21.527 --> 01:22.521

01:22.532 --> 01:23.512
WHILE THE SHOOTER WAS THE ONE

01:23.523 --> 01:25.699
WHO ENTERED THE HIGH SCHOOL AND

01:25.710 --> 01:26.837
PULLED THE TRIGGER, THERE ARE

01:33.590 --> 01:36.221
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE PREVENT

01:36.255 --> 01:39.083
THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN.

01:39.094 --> 01:41.537
NO OTHER PARENT, OR COMMUNITY,

01:41.571 --> 01:43.940
SHOULD HAVE THE LIVES OF THIS

01:43.941 --> 01:44.364
NIGHTMARE.
