The situation in the Middle East has intensified, marked by a rare daytime missile attack on Tel Aviv and other areas of Israel. Reports indicate that around 30 Iranian ballistic missiles were launched in the past few hours, setting off sirens and phone alerts across the region. Millions of residents were forced to seek refuge in bomb shelters, responding to the heightened alert.

Although most of the missiles were intercepted, some did strike open areas, including a bus parking lot and multiple fields. First responders have not reported any casualties or injuries from the attacks. This latest escalation follows a series of warnings throughout the night, leaving many in the region sleep-deprived as sirens blared at midnight, 3:30 a.m., and 4:30 a.m.

In response to the missile threat, Israeli forces have been actively targeting Iran's missile-launching infrastructure. Israeli officials released video footage showing attacks on missile launch sites and weapons storage areas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reaffirmed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will continue their military operations against Iran. He likened the mission to treating cancer, stressing the need for thorough destruction while warning that it may not be the end of the threat.

"Our mission is to bring its full destruction, like cancer. You remove cancer, and you're doing other treatments, and maybe it will be back one day," Netanyahu said. "But I believe we are delaying them for a long, long time."

Amid the turmoil, several foreign nationals in Israel are seeking to leave the country. In a recent announcement, the Chinese embassy advised its citizens to evacuate immediately via land crossings into Jordan. However, the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv stated it cannot facilitate evacuations for American citizens as both the airport and airspace remain closed.

Meanwhile, warnings have also been issued for residents in Tehran, where officials are urging evacuations. Central Tehran, home to approximately nine million residents, is experiencing significant changes. Traffic jams are reported on routes leading out of the city, with businesses and shops shutting down in preparation for a potential military escalation.

Israeli officials have indicated that they plan to target specific areas in Tehran, leading to further evacuation warnings for neighborhoods across the Iranian capital.

Former Michigan House Speaker Tom Leonard has entered the Republican race for governor. Leonard, 44, announced his run with a video on social media.

In the announcement, Leonard said his campaign will focus on growing Michigan, lowering taxes and reforming regulations.

Michigan currently ranks second-to-last in unemployment, and our education system is bottom 10 in the nation, Leonard said in a statement. We cannot afford another lost decade where our children are forced to leave the state for better opportunity. My priority throughout this campaign will be to lay out a positive vision with real solutions to address our states most pressing problems with a clear focus on making Michigan a growth state.

He joins a crowded Republican field that already includes Rep. John James, State Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt, former Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox, as well as Anthony Hudson and Evan Space.

Leonard lives in DeWitt and is an attorney at Plunkett Cooney Law Firm. He served three terms in the Michigan House and was speaker in his last term.

On the Democratic side, candidates include Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Genesee County Sheriff Chris Swanson and former Cape Coral, Fla. mayor Marni Sawicki.

A doctor charged with giving Matthew Perry ketamine in the month leading up to the Friends star's overdose death will plead guilty, according to an agreement filed in court Monday.

Dr. Salvador Plasencia agreed to plead guilty to four counts of distribution of ketamine, according to the signed document filed in federal court in Los Angeles. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors agreed to drop three additional counts of distribution of ketamine and two counts of falsifying records.

RELATED STORY | Doctor who helped supply Matthew Perry ketamine pleads guilty to drug charge

Federal prosecutors said in a statement that the plea carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. They said Plasencia is expected to formally plead guilty in the coming weeks.

According to a co-defendant, Plasencia in a text message called the actor a moron who could be exploited for money. The physician had been one of the primary targets of the prosecution, along with a woman accused of being a ketamine dealer. Three other defendants, including another doctor, agreed to plead guilty last year in exchange for their cooperation.

Plasencia and the woman, Jasveen Sangha, had been scheduled to face trial in August. An email to his attorney seeking comment was not immediately answered.

Perry was found dead by his assistant on Oct. 28, 2023. The medical examiner ruled that ketamine, typically used as a surgical anesthetic, was the primary cause of death.

The actor had been using the drug through his regular doctor in a legal but off-label treatment for depression, which has become increasingly common. Perry, 54, began seeking more ketamine than his doctor would give him.

RELATED STORY | Doctor who helped supply Matthew Perry ketamine pleads guilty to drug charge

Plasencia admitted in his plea agreement that another patient connected him with Perry, and that starting about a month before Perry's death, he illegally supplied the actor with 20 vials of ketamine totaling 100 mg of the drug, along with ketamine lozenges and syringes.

He admitted to enlisting the other doctor, Mark Chavez, to supply the drug for him, according to the court filings.

I wonder how much this moron will pay, Plasencia texted Chavez, according to Chavez's plea agreement. The two met up the same day in Costa Mesa, halfway between the Los Angeles area where Plasencia practiced and San Diego, where Chavez practiced, and exchanged several vials of ketamine, the filings said.

After selling the drugs to Perry for $4,500, Plasencia allegedly asked Chavez if he could keep supplying them so they could become Perrys go-to, prosecutors said.

Plasencia admitted to visiting Perry's house twice and injecting him with ketamine. He also left ketamine behind and showed Perry's personal assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, how to inject it, according to Iwamasa's plea agreement. The doctor later met up with Iwamasa and gave him more ketamine for Perry, according to the document.

Perry was also getting ketamine from another source, Sangha, who prosecutors allege was a major dealer and supplied the dose that killed the actor.

Sangha has pleaded not guilty making her the only one of the five people charged in Perrys death who has not entered a plea agreement. She remains jailed as she awaits trial. Plasencia was freed on bond after his initial court appearances.

Erik Fleming, a friend of Perry who said he acted as a middleman and drug messenger, has also pleaded guilty and has been cooperating with prosecutors.

None of the defendants has yet been sentenced. Plasencia's plea deal makes no specific sentencing guarantees.

Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on Friends, when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing. He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBCs megahit.

Any traffic issues? The top stories to know about Seven Michigan lawmakers on the alleged Minnesota shooter's list Seven Michigan lawmakers on alleged Minnesota shooter's list

Multiple Michigan lawmakers were on the list of the alleged Minnesota shooter, their teams have confirmed to 7 News Detroit.

Vance Boelter surrendered to police Sunday after they found him in the woods near his home following a massive manhunt that stretched over two days. He is accused of fatally shooting former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their home early Saturday in the northern Minneapolis suburbs.

Authorities say he also shot Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife, Yvette, who lived just a few miles away.

Officials said the list had dozens of names from several states. Those names included Democratic officials, plus others with ties to Planned Parenthood or abortion rights movements, according to CNN.

In Michigan, the list included Democratic Reps. Haley Stevens, Rashida Tlaib, Debbie Dingell, Shri Thanedar and Hillary Scholten, plus Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Sen. Elissa Slotkin.

Dingell chose to hold her planned town hall at Dexter High School on Monday, where there was a heavy police presence.

Some people wanted me to cancel tonight and I was not going to cancel tonight, she said during her town hall. I've got a great chief, and the sheriff from here said to me, 'you just got to be a little more careful.'

Despite the threat, Dingell said it was crucial the town hall event went on as lawmakers call for unity.

All of us, every single one of us has to help dial down the level of rhetoric. We are normalizing violence and that is not OK, Dignell said.

Ann Arbor teacher crowned Miss Michigan 2025, using her platform to advocate for mental health Ann Arbor teacher crowned 2025 Miss Michigan

Third grade teacher, nonprofit founder and now Miss Michigan 2025, Hannah Palmer is proving you dont have to fit into just one box.

Palmer, who teaches at an elementary school in Ann Arbor, was recently crowned Miss Michigan in what she describes as a surreal moment.

It felt like a blur, Palmer recalled of the crowning.

Known as Miss. Palmer to her students, she said her mission is to inspire the next generation to embrace all aspects of themselves and chase their full potential.

You are your only limitation, she said. When I really started to believe in myself to say I can do it all, I can be Miss. Palmer, I can be Hannah, I can be Miss Michigan thats when I started to see success.

Outside the classroom and pageant stage, Palmer is also the founder and CEO of the Sunflower Project, a nonprofit organization focused on mental health education. The organization offers resources to help people support loved ones experiencing mental health crises.

Every single one of us has mental health, whether or not we have a mental illness, she said. Thats why its so important we check in with the people in our lives. Just asking how are you? can make a difference.

Palmers advocacy is deeply personal. Shes a five-time suicide attempt survivor and openly shares her journey with depression and anxiety.

Its from sharing my own story that Im able to be an advocate for so many, she said.

Despite the challenges, Palmer pursued a career in education, where she continues to leave a lasting impact. Her students even surprised her with their support during the Miss Michigan competition including former student Kinley Rhodes, who is now in sixth grade.

Mayflies swarm Luna Pier, signaling the start of summer in Michigan Mayflies swarm Luna Pier, signaling the start of summer in Michigan

If you're heading to Luna Pier this week, be prepared to share the shoreline with thousands of mayflies.

Mayfly season in Michigan typically runs from June through August, with hatchings common along bodies of water like Lake St. Clair and in Monroe County. But right now, Luna Pier appears to be at the epicenter of the swarm.

Theyre fine on the sidewalk. Then once you go in the grass, its like a whole tornado happening, said Adysynn Gonzalez, who spends summers in Luna Pier.

The mayflies are blanketing sidewalks, trees, homes and people. The swarms are especially noticeable near grassy areas, where children have taken to collecting and playing with the tiny insects.

Actually, a fact about it is that they clean the water, Adysynn said.

Experts agree. Mayflies are considered a key indicator of clean and well-oxygenated water. Their presence suggests the aquatic ecosystem is healthy. Though they only live for 24 to 48 hours, once they emerge, their brief life cycle plays an important role in the food web and water quality.

Legend Hubbard, another young mayfly fan, says he's grown fond of the bugs.

I had a best friend mayfly and he was my best friend yesterday, he said, smiling. Somehow, hes still living today.

President Donald Trumps order to block incoming foreign students from attending Harvard University will remain on hold temporarily following a hearing Monday, when a lawyer for the Ivy League school said Trump was using its students as pawns.

U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs in Boston extended a temporary restraining order on Trump's proclamation until June 23 while she weighs Harvard's request for a preliminary injunction. Burroughs made the decision at a hearing over Harvard's request, which Trump's Republican administration opposed.

Burroughs granted the initial restraining order June 5, and it had been set to expire Thursday.

Trump moved to block foreign students from entering the U.S. to attend Harvard earlier this month, citing concerns over national security. It followed a previous attempt by the Department of Homeland Security to revoke Harvard's ability to host foreign students on its campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Burroughs has temporarily blocked that action, too, and is weighing whether it should remain on hold until the case is decided.

RELATED STORY | Trump administration moves to cut federal contracts for Harvard

Ian Gershengorn, a lawyer for Harvard, told Burroughs on Monday that Trump was using Harvards international students as pawns" while arguing the administration has exceeded its authority in an attempt to retaliate against the school for not agreeing to the president's demands.

I think there is no finding that Harvard is dangerous, he said.

Trump has been warring with Harvard for months after it rejected a series of government demands meant to address conservative complaints that the school has become too liberal and has tolerated anti-Jewish harassment. Trump officials have cut more than $2.6 billion in research grants, ended federal contracts and threatened to revoke its tax-exempt status.

Foreign students were brought into the battle in April, when Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanded that Harvard turn over a trove of records related to any dangerous or illegal activity by foreign students. Harvard says it complied, but Noem said the response fell short, and on May 22 she revoked Harvards certification in the Student and Exchange Visitor Program.

The sanction immediately put Harvard at a disadvantage as it competed for the worlds top students and harmed Harvards reputation as a global research hub, the school said in its lawsuit. Without its international students, Harvard is not Harvard, the suit said.

The action would have upended some graduate schools that recruit heavily from abroad. Some schools overseas quickly offered invitations to Harvards students, including two universities in Hong Kong.

While Harvard's legal team on Monday said the federal government was unfairly and illegally singling the university out in Trump's proclamation, Department of Justice attorney Tiberius Davis countered that the administration has scrutinized dozens of universities over the past two months.

The power is within Harvard to fix this, Davis said, adding that currently the federal government believes other universities might be better to host foreign students.

Davis was the sole attorney to attend and defend the Trump administration during Monday's hearing compared with the six Harvard attorneys, a contrast that Burroughs commented on repeatedly.

Not only do you have this case but you have it alone, she said.

Harvard President Alan Garber previously said the university has made changes to combat antisemitism. But Harvard, he said, will not stray from its core, legally-protected principles, even after receiving federal ultimatums.

The Los Angeles Press Club and Status Coup filed a joint federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles Police Department on Monday, claiming the police violated journalists rights under the U.S. Constitution.

The lawsuit cites several examples of journalists being struck or arrested by police during ongoing anti-deportation protests in Los Angeles. The organizations claim journalists have been "shot with 'less-lethal munitions,' charged by horses, and forcibly prevented from filming."

With todays lawsuit, the L.A. Press Club is fighting for the rights of all of its nearly 1,000 members to report the news without risking their health and safety, said Adam Rose, press rights chair of the LAPC. Some examples of these alleged violations include when a CNN reporter and his crew were detained during demonstrations; when a U.S.-based correspondent for an Australian news outlet was struck by munitions on a relatively empty street; and when a New York Times reporter was shot in the hip with a non-lethal round.

The groups noted that after the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, California approved Senate Bill 98, which stipulated press rights amid protests.

Additionally, press groups noted that LAPD officers were given training following the 2020 protests on how to work safely with journalists.

"The investment in the training was in the millions, and some of the training has indeed been put to use by officers. But recent events have made it clear that the need for re-training is high," the National Press Club said.

The lawsuit seeks to stop the LAPD from engaging in unconstitutional acts against journalists.

Here in the strawberry field at Spicer Orchards in Fenton, families are marking the unofficial start of summer.

Watch the full story from Christiana Ford in the video player below 'They're very juicy': U-Pick strawberry season is officially here

"I've been doing this since I was five," said Kara Kinsan, who was picking strawberries.," said Kara Kinser, who was pioking strawberries. "It's been a good day."

After about two hot hours in the orchard, Kinser has enough strawberries for her family's annual tradition.

"We'll bake strawberry pies, strawberry shortcakes, we'll do strawberry cake"

She's one of the many visitors already stopping by the patch for the early strawberry season.

"The strawberries are pretty good, they're very juicy," Lucy told me.

"I just kinda went running around and just grabbed the bigger ones," Mia said.

Spcier Orchards in Fenton is one of few in metro Detroit kicking off the U-Pick season, managing their 10 acres. The 300-acre family farm is known for you pick just about everything you can grow in Michigan.

"You get on the wagon, yep, you go out and pick and then, and then you'll wait for the wagon to bring you back up and then they'll weigh in when you get up here and that's when you'll pay for your berries,"

Third-generation farmer Ryan Spicer says their 10 acres of strawberries are thriving despite the colder tempatrues.

"The average temperature has stayed pretty low so far, but not looking at this next week, we look like we're getting into our normal Michigan 80 degree, you know, summer, which we've been kind of waiting for because that's what kind of makes all these berries and stuff start moving and you need the heat to ripen them up and your average degree temperature has to be up too," Spicer said.

Spicer says they got creative, using an irrigation system that rose the temperature around the strawberries and frost fans.

"We'll be picking for probably another 3 weeks, of course, depending on the weather," Spicer said. "If it gets super hot and stays super hot, they cook a lot faster, so that could shorten the season, but if it stays colder at nights, they don't ripen as fast."

So far people are hauling in big lots. At $3.99/pound, you can ger one pick flat for about $48.

"This is our most successful year so far, yeah it was a lot more fun," said Jamie Malover. "It's a good feeling because then you get to make your strawberry jams and strawberry pie."

Spicer's tip: come early to beat the crowds and the heat.

Where Your Voice Matters

The Environmental Protection Agency is telling some of its staff to stop enforcing violations against oil and gas companies in the U.S., according to reporting from multiple sources.

According to reporting first published by CNN, EPA staffers overseeing the Midwest received verbal instructions to back off enforcement of its emissions rules.

Scripps News has not yet independently verified the reporting.

Th EPA is responsible for rules and standards including those that set limits on methane and benzene levels in the fossil industry, cap emissions from sources like natural gas wells and improve emissions standards to cut down pollution from existing emitters.

But a rollback of such rules would be consistent with the administration's stance on environmental regulation thus far.

RELATED STORY | Trump administration proposes major rollback of Biden-era clean power regulations

Since taking office, President Trump has moved to shutter dozens of climate research offices throughout the government, fire scientists and researchers studying the causes and impacts of climate change, freeze billions of dollars of funding for clean energy and open up millions of acres of previously protected lands for drilling.

In June, the EPA announced plans to eliminate Biden-era regulations limiting the amount of greenhouse gas and other toxic chemical pollution released into the atmosphere by fossil fuelfired power plants.

The administration also plans to roll back federal restrictions on oil and gas development across millions of acres of Alaskan wilderness in the National Petroleum Reserve, reversing a rule put in place under President Biden in 2024.

I had a best friend mayfly and he was my best friend yesterday, he said, smiling. Somehow, hes still living today.

Still, the seasonal surge isnt for everyone.

Its a little bit annoying, Robby Kuehnlein said. Gotta stay out of the grass, maybe cancel some plans at the park.

While mayflies have also been spotted in nearby Monroe, its Luna Pier that seems to be at the height of the hatch.

Mayfly season typically wraps up by late August, and residents say this week may be the peak. Until then, locals are learning to coexist, or at least try.

When the mayflies come, its definitely summertime, Zoey Hubbard said.

U.S. President Donald Trump left the Group of Seven summit in Canada early on Monday, after hostilities between Iran and Israel sharply escalated during a fourth day of fighting.

"You probably see what I see and I have to be back as soon as I can, Trump said during a family photo with other G7 leaders when asked why he was cutting short the trip. "I wish I could stay for tomorrow, but they understand"

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt cited whats going on in the Middle East as the reason for leaving in a statement on the presidents travel plans

Trumps departure came shortly after Trump warned on social media Monday that Iran could not be permitted to develop nuclear weapons and said that people in the capital Tehran should evacuate "immediately."

Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign," Trump wrote. He did not provide additional details.

In comments at the summit, President Trump said Iran "is not winning this war. And they should talk and they should talk immediately before its too late.

Trump did not delve into US military or intelligence involvement when pressed by reporters, but repeatedly urged that Iran should secure a deal, noting it didnt meet a 60 day deadline to do so before Israel struck.

I think Iran basically is at the negotiating table where they want to make a deal. And as soon as I leave here, we're going to be doing something. But I have to leave here. I have, you know, this commitment. I have a lot of commitments, Trump said.

Trump did not elaborate on the commitments.

RELATED STORY | Trump warns Iranian capital of Tehran should 'immediately evacuate' in social media post

As news broke of Trumps departure, chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated on X that American Forces are maintaining their defensive posture & that has not changed.

Additional capabilities were directed to the region over the weekend, Sec. of Defense Pete Hegseth confirmed in statement describing the deployments as intended to enhance our defensive posture in the region.

It included directing the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group to the US Central Command area of responsibility and continued operations from the US Navy in the eastern Mediterranean in support of US national security objective, according to a defense official.

Trump is always in touch with members of his national security council, according to an administration official. Several members of Trumps National Security Council were traveling with him, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who earlier in the day spoke with his UK and French counterparts about the conflict and encouraging a diplomatic path, according to a State Department readout.

Trump and Netanyahu have frequent contact, a source familiar said.

The conflict in the Middle East stood to be a major focus at the summit, in which Trump met on the sidelines with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney and EU Commissioner Ursula von der Lyon.

G7 leaders have called for Iran to not have a nuclear weapon, as some also underscored diplomacy on the issue.

A spokesperson for the German government told reporters that the goal might be to have a joint declaration by the G7 here, on the Middle East, but that it would be up to the Americans to decide whether there was a statement.

"Under the strong leadership of President Trump, the United States is back to leading the effort to restore peace around the world. President Trump will continue to work towards ensuring Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon, a White House official stated at the time.

The US was scheduled for a sixth round of talks with Iran over its nuclear program in Oman, before they were called off after Israel launched strikes against Iran last weekend.

President Donald Trump shortly after said the U.S. was not involved in the strikes against Iran Saturday evening, and warned of actions against the U.S.

According to two American officials, the U.S. is providing support to Israel amid the barrage, helping shoot down missiles headed towards the nation. A separate U.S. official previously confirmed to Scripps News that Iran had asked the U.S. to join its war against Iran in the hopes of eliminating its nuclear program, though the officials said the Trump administration was not considering that at this time.

Ahead of Israels initial strikes, Trump publicly signaled he didnt want Israel to attack Iran as he believed they were fairly close to an agreement, but as tensions rose, nonessential personal were urged to evacuate the American embassy in Baghdad, Iraq, US government personnel and family were restricted from traveling outside the greater Tel Aviv area in Israel, and voluntary departure of military dependents from locations across the US Central Command area of responsibility were authorized.

Trump had still been expected to meet with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy before his trip ended early.

In a social media post on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump warned that Iran's capital Tehran should be evacuated "immediately."

The president's comments punctuate a message in which he warned that Iran could not be permitted to pursue its development of nuclear weapons.

"Iran should have signed the deal I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life. Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again! Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!" President Trump wrote.

He did not provide further details or explanation for the warning.

The White House has so far not given specific comment on the president's Truth Social post. Asked about U.S. involvement in the Israeli-Iran conflict, White House officials have declined to comment beyond the president's public statements.

Tehran has a population of more than nine million people.

Israel issued a similar warning to Tehran on Monday, an hour before it struck a television studio while a live newscast was underway.

That evacuation warning was meant to reach as many as 330,000 people in a central part of the city. The region includes Iranian state TV, police headquarters and hospitals.

The warning comes as Israel and Iran escalate their conflict, which has now gone on for four days.

Israel has claimed "full aerial superiority over Tehrans skies," according to state officials. It has struck missile launchers, military planes and energy infrastructure. Iran has launched hundreds of missiles into Israel and promised more retaliation.

At least 224 people have died in Iran since Friday, according to the country's health ministry. Israeli officials say 24 people have died and another 500 have been injured in that country.

Detroit is becoming more vibrant this summer as dozens of artists work to transform nine alleys across the city into outdoor art spaces.

The initiative is part of Mayor Mike Duggan's "Blight to Beauty" campaign, which aims to revitalize neighborhoods throughout Detroit.

"Thanks to $5.4 million from the American Rescue Plan Act and $240,000 from the Knight Foundation, we're able to transform nine alleys that were once dilapidated, overgrown, concrete broken into these beautiful spaces with lots and lots of beauty, flowers and art," said Rochelle Riley, Director of Detroit Arts and Culture.

Three more art alleys are set to open this week, with others already completed. Each alley has its own unique identity.

"It's like these outdoor museums. I'm just so excited by what these alleys look like now," Riley said.

The city has partnered with 47 artists to create these artistic spaces. One of them is Rahmaand Statik, a muralist from Chicago working on his fourth project in Detroit.

"I can change the way people remember their neighborhoods," Statik said. "It only betters the neighborhood, and it helps people see your neighborhood for something better versus what they're told."

His newest piece is located on Korte Street between Manistique and Phillip streets.

"It depicts the idea of the human self of this woman, this that exists in real life, but she's heavily modified by technology and a higher spiritual self, which is like the vibrant colors, you know, and the struggle between the dual personalities within all of ourselves," Statik said.

Statik's mural is one of 12 on display in what the city named the "Path to Wellbeing" alley, expected to open on Saturday, July 5.

Longtime Detroit-area resident Debbie Weatherston from Grosse Point Farms finds the transformation inspiring.

"We've been here a very long time, enough to see the rise of the city, and it's such a creative spot. We're more familiar, maybe, with the musicians; we have musicians in our family, but to see the arts, the fine arts, now taking over street after street, it's pretty exciting," Weatherston said.

Scripps News Group has confirmed the identities of several federal and state lawmakers who were found to be on a list of potential targets assembled by a Minnesota shooting suspect.

Vance Boelter, who is accused of killing a Minnesota state representative and her husband and shooting a state senator and his wife, visited the homes of four elected officials early Saturday morning. Authorities searching his abandoned vehicle found notebooks containing the names of approximately 45 politicians.

Scripps News Group heard from the U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, Tammy Baldwin, who learned that her name was on the alleged shooter's list.

Scripps News Group has also confirmed U.S. Representative Mark Pocan, from the Madison, Wisconsin, area, was on the list. According to Pocan, his name was found in the notebooks recovered from the vehicle.

Pocan has said he "will not back down in the face of terror" and says his schedule remains unchanged in the wake of the shootings.

But Pocan also cautioned that "we as elected officials need to do better to lower the temperature."

Scripps News Group attended a growing memorial outside of the state capitol in Minnesota, where residents have left flowers and messages for victims of the shooting. They, too, have called for more conversations around political extremism, with some drawing comparisons to the No Kings protests that went on nationwide this weekend.

Meanwhile, officials are describing some details from their investigation of the alleged shooter but questions remain about the content of the recovered notes and lists, and authorities have not yet identified a motive.

Boelter is facing state and federal charges including murder, attempted murder and stalking.

Boelter appeared in both state and federal court on Monday. In federal court, he reportedly told the judge he could not afford an attorney. He will remain in custody without bail pending a hearing next week, according to the Associated Press.

If convicted, he could face life in prison or possibly the death penalty.

After being away for more than a decade, Davis Aerospace Technical High School will soon return to its original home at Coleman A. Young International Airport on Detroit's east side.

The move, announced Monday, will allow the specialized school to double its enrollment and provide students with direct access to aviation facilities.

Detroit city and school leaders say bringing Davis Aerospace Technical High School back to City Airport is a homecoming that was long overdue and will give students the tools they need to thrive.

With $15 million in funding from the Detroit Public Schools Community District and a state grant, the 53,000-square-foot terminal will undergo major renovations before welcoming students in fall 2026.

Caiyla Turner, an upcoming senior at Davis, discovered the school while searching for new academic challenges.

"We had never heard about it before and we did further research and we realized wait, this is an aviation-based school. This is what I was looking for. It was kind of like a hidden blessing," Turner said.

The specialized high school provides hands-on learning opportunities for careers in aviation. Turner, who plans to become an engineer, values both the academic and personal growth she's experienced.

"I did learn a lot of things academically, but I've learned so much and developed as a person in terms of character," Turner said.

Since 2013, Davis aerospace school has been housed inside the Golightly Career and Technical Center on the city's east side. The school was relocated from Coleman A. Young Airport while Detroit Public Schools was under a state-appointed emergency manager.

"The system had deteriorated and I think Davis aerospace being kicked out of City Airport is an example of bad decision-making," Nikolai Vitti, superintendent of Detroit Public Schools Community District, said.

The return to the airport campus will enhance educational opportunities, according to district leadership.

"To be able to leverage the former City Airport for our students, I think, is going to make a world of difference regarding their development," Vitti said.

Jason Watt, director of Coleman A. Young International Airport, said big renovations are coming in order to fit the facility for students.

"Everything you see today will be different. You'll see children hustling and bustling through here. It's going to be a huge draw," Watt said.

The move will allow enrollment to double from 100 to 200 students.

"In DPSCD, we have a lot of options and a lot of opportunities, but it's really getting the word out to that individual student that wants the aviation and aerospace opportunity," Vitti said.

The Detroit Chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen supports the move, saying it will give students advantages in the aviation field.

"We don't want them to start at the bottom. They won't start at the top, but in the middle somewhere is good," Lawrence Millben, historian for Tuskegee Airmen-Detroit Chapter, said.

Construction is expected to begin this fall.

Middlebelt Road is closed between Grand River Avenue and Nine Mile Road in Farmington Hills because of a gas main break, city officials said.

The road closed Monday around 3:30 p.m., officials said. The road is expected to be closed for several hours as Consumers Energy works to repair damage to the 10-inch gas main.

People who live in the area and smell the odor of natural gas in their home are being told to call 911.

7 News Detroit will provide an update when officials announce the road is back open.

The conflict between Israel and Iran is now four days old. As the two nations target each other's oil refining infrastructure, ripple effects may be felt here in the U.S. in the form of rising gas prices.

The national average will probably rise somewhere in the ballpark of maybe five, to as much as 10 cents over the next two weeks, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. And then we should start to see some relief ahead of July 4th, as long this situation does start to improve.

Oil prices fell slightly Monday after surging more than 7% last Friday.

Oil prices were up about 5% 12 hours ago on Sunday night, but because Iran does not really have a whole lot of good options, prices eventually have been tapering off, said De Haan.

Iran is one of the largest oil suppliers in the world. The United States, however, doesn't rely on Iran for its oil, importing instead from countries like Canada, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia.

But Dr. Ramanan Krishnamoorti, Vice President for Energy and Innovation at the University of Houston, says where a country gets its oil from does not determine the price.

Oil is a global commodity. It is moved around the world, from every part of the world, to every part. And so, oil prices are determined by global markets, explained Krishnamoorti. We are 10,000 miles away from this conflict, and yet, those prices, those global prices, have an impact on what we do in the United States.

Experts are also keeping a close eye on the Strait of Hormuz, which runs between Oman and Iran. According to Dr. Krishnamoorti, it is responsible for moving 20% of the world's oil.

A December 2023 report by the International Energy Agency stated that even a short-lived disruption to the Strait of Hormuz could have a significant impact on oil markets.

Everything has to pass through this very narrow strait, one side of which is controlled by Iran, said Krishnamoorti. And therefore, really any action there can really cut off that supply.

But as of now, experts dont see this conflict causing record high prices at the pump.

This is probably going to be a relatively low impact event, said De Haan.

More than 20,000 highchairs sold in the United States and Canada have been recalled because their legs can detach from the frame, posing a fall hazard to children.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it has received 22 reports of the legs detaching on Bugaboo's Giraffe highchairs, including 13 reports of minor injuries.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled highchairs, the agency said in a statement.

The recalled highchairs were sold in five colors: blue, black, neutral wood/white, warm wood/gray and white. They were available from May 2023 through April 2025 at Nordstrom, specialty stores, and online at Bugaboo.com and Amazon.com. The chairs retailed for about $380.

Bugaboo plans to contact all known purchasers and provide a free repair kit, which includes an Allen key and replacement screws for the legs. Consumers can also request the kit directly from Bugaboo.
