Warrant submitted after another gas station shooting • Wisconsin shooting updates • Temple Bar reopens

TUESDAY NEWS HIT - The business license for a Detroit gas station has been suspended while police investigate one of its clerks in connection with a shooting that led to one man's death.

It all started with alleged shoplifting that escalated to the gas station employee shooting the 38-year-old man.

When the clerk called the man out for taking food items, he pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot him. He later chased down the 38-year-old before striking him.

The victim fled the scene and eventually jumped onto the freeway. He later died of his injuries.

Police called the clerk's actions "reprehensible" and it would be seeking accountability.

"Those actions putting this community in danger is not okay. It is not acceptable," said deputy chief Franklin Hayes. "We are going to demand and assist on accountability."

The clerk involved in the latest shooting has yet to be arraigned, despite Hayes telling family of the victim the department would be seeking a warrant against him.

Additionally, the building department has suspended the gas station's business license.

"I will be placcarding this business and its business license is hereby suspended and this business will not be allowed to operate continually as it has in the city of Detroit," he said.

Temple Bar reopens in Detroit

It's been months since the historic Temple Bar in Detroit partially collapsed. Now, just in time for the holidays, the bar will re-open. It was a day the owner of the Temple Bar will never forget.

"I thought it was a prank phone call," said owner George Boukas. "The entire facade had collapsed at 10:00 in the morning."

What the owner of Temple Bar would soon learn after that call from Detroit Police is that his iconic dive bar had collapsed. That was Memorial Day weekend and the doors have since been closed. That devastating moment crushing the events this bar is known for.

The bar is now back in business. George says the Temple Bar is safe and patrons should not be concerned. "This place became my second home and now that it’s back open I’m super excited," said patron Leana Bradley.

What's behind increasing drone sightings?

The White House is set to brief the House Intelligence Committee on the drones on Tuesday. In the meantime, FOX 2 went to a UFO expert to get their take on what is going on.

This whole drone sighting thing has become much more than social media clickbait. It's got some pretty smart folks pretty stumped, so we took it to the experts from all angles.

"We can usually identify about 90% of what comes into us, and it's that last 10% that keeps things exciting," said UFO expert Bill Konkolesky.

They’re being identified as unmanned aircraft systems or UAS, but from where? "I don’t think they’re from another planet. I don’t think they’re aliens visiting us," said Konkolesky. "They seem to be commercially produced drones."

Car alarm to siren without seat belt use

Starting in September of 2027, all new passenger vehicles in the U.S. will have to sound a warning if rear-seat passengers don’t buckle up.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Monday that it finalized the rule, which also requires enhanced warnings when front seat belts aren’t fastened.

The agency estimates that the new rule will save 50 lives per year and prevent 500 injuries when fully in effect, according to a statement.

The new rule will apply to passenger cars, trucks, buses except for school buses, and multipurpose vehicles weighing up to 10,000 pounds.

Judge rejects Trump’s bid to dismiss hush money conviction

A judge Monday refused to throw out President-elect Donald Trump’s hush money conviction because of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling on presidential immunity. But the overall future of the historic case remains unclear.

Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan's decision blocks one potential off-ramp from the case ahead of the former and future president's return to office next month. His lawyers have raised other arguments for dismissal, however. It's unclear when — or whether — a sentencing date might be set.

Prosecutors have said there should be some accommodation for his upcoming presidency, but they insist the conviction should stand.
