Today on Velschia, Michigan Manhunt is over. We're now awaiting the first of court appearance of the parents of a

suspected school shooter who are themselves charged in the shooting. They were taken into custody overnight after a tip led police to a commercial building in Detroit.

We're going to have a live report on this deeply disturbing story out of Michigan

happening now. Plus, Omicron is now spreading twice as quickly as the Delta variant in South

Africa. It's already here in the United States. We're going to have the very latest on what

might be the next COVID wave. Then congressional investigators are squaring off against one of

the central players in the failed former president's plot to overturn the 2020 election.

Meanwhile, we've got the star witness of the week, a man who testified for over four hours this week in front of the select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection.

Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, is going to join
