Gunfire grazes child on Detroit’s east side

7 year old grazed by bullet

Detroit’s East Side: Earlier this morning, at around 1:30AM, Detroit’s 9th Precinct responded to reports of shots fired into an occupied dwelling @ Lappin & Rex.

Upon arrival, officers found a 7 year old child had been grazed by a bullet fired into the occupied dwelling. Initially, according to dispatch audio, the parents/guardians/adults responsible for the 7 year old child refused medical aid by Detroit EMS. Also according to dispatch audio, scouts from the 9th Precinct would have none of that and ordered DEMS anyway.

DEMS Medic 15 and DEMS Supervisor 1104 made the scene. The child was apparently treated on the scene by Medic 15.

The shooter, well, a description was mentioned by someone else but hasn’t been confirmed by the DPD. Word has it the shots were fired by someone standing across the street from the house.
