Manhunt at Oakland University • Symptoms of RSV • Couple killed in Northville rollover

MONDAY NEWS HIT - Residents staying at or near Oakland University were asked to stay indoors Monday morning due to a search for multiple armed suspects being near the campus.

The school confirmed that at least two armed men were spotted near East Campus and had been chased by police from Grand Blanc Township near an auto dealership. The manhunt is connected to a stolen vehicle investigation out of Genesee County that ended on I-75 where multiple vehicles crashed. 

The suspects on campus are described as young Black males with a slim build. One Suspect is wearing a blue hoodie. 

Oakland County Sheriffs were first made aware of the incident in Genesee County at 3:42 a.m. An alert from Oakland University police for community members to shelter in place was sent out 10 minutes later.

At the time, police were searching for two possibly armed subjects near Adams Road and Walton Boulevard. Currently, the suspects are believed to be in or around Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. 

As the investigation at the school has continued, Oakland County Sheriffs responded to reports of stolen vehicles out of Genesee County. It was confirmed around 5:45 a.m. that three stolen vehicles had crashed on southbound I-75 near Joslyn. 

It's not clear how many were injured, but police confirmed the crash was a fatal. A fourth stolen vehicle is on OU's campus and was abandoned after two suspects fled. 

The crash has closed the exit ramp at Joslyn, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Oakland University also asked commuters to not come to campus while the search for the suspects continued.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the OUPD at (248) 370-3331.

What's the difference between RSV, the Flu, and Covid

Since Oct. 1, Detroit Medical Center says more than 800 patients have tested positive for RSV, the pediatric respiratory illness that has hospitalized infants and young kids at a higher rate this season. 

Sarah Rauner, a pediatric chief specialist at Corewell said the "mass majority" of children will not need to be hospitalized if they contract RSV, also known as respiratory syncytial virus. Treatments like bed rest, careful monitoring, and comfort measures should be enough for most cases. 

It might not be immediately clear if a child that has symptoms will test positive for RSV. Both the flu and COVID-19 are also creating issues for doctors this season and are expected to add pressure to the health industry in the coming months. RSV is more of a snotty virus.

"It's thick, sticky secretions, they're mucusy, they cough, they choke on their mucus, so it’s what I like to call a very wet virus where it's very wet," she said. "The eyes run, the nose runs." Meanwhile the common cold comes with more mild symptoms and a flu infection could be more severe, with higher fevers, sore threats, body aches, and a dry cough. And of course there's COVID-19.

Couple killed in Northville Township rollover

A Northville couple was killed in a rollover crash early Saturday morning. The crash happened at 12:17 a.m. on Bayberry Way, which is located in the area of Seven Mile and Napier roads in Northville Township.

Police say the vehicle was attempting to navigate a curve in the neighborhood when it left the roadway, rolled over, and struck a tree.

"Upon arrival, Northville Township Fire Department personnel utilized extrication equipment in order to remove the occupants," police said in a news release. Both occupants did not survive the crash, police said.

The driver has been identified as 46-year-old Omar Salamen, of Northville. The passenger has been identified as Salamen’s wife, 40-year-old Manal Kadry. The couple leaves behind four kids. The investigation into the crash is still ongoing.

Police wrap up investigation into tunnel assault at UM

The University of Michigan Police Department says they concluded their investigation in the big house tunnel assault of several players earlier this month. "In collaboration with our law enforcement partners and Michigan State University, UMPD has thoroughly investigated what occurred," UMPD said in a statement to FOX 2. 

Police say the case has been turned over to the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for review. A total of eight Michigan State players have been suspended for their role in the alleged assault of University of Michigan players.

Four additional players were suspended last Tuesday: Malcolm Jones, Justin White, Jacoby Windmon, and Brandon White - in addition to the original group of Tank Brown, Khary Crump, Angelo Grose, and Zion Young. Michigan State announced that the suspensions will remain active until the investigation concludes.

Video showed a brawl involving at least 10 MSU players when two U of M players entered the Michigan Stadium tunnel. 

Police: Man shot multiple times by known suspects at Allen Park Motor Lodge

The Allen Park Police Department is investigating a shooting that occurred at the Allen Park Motor Lodge Saturday evening. On Saturday around 11:06 p.m, police were dispatched to the Allen Park Motor Lodge (14887 Southfield Rd, Allen Park) for shots fired, police said. When officers arrived, they found one adult man with multiple gunshot wounds in the parking lot.
