Officer Down! It’s Been 10 Years Since We Lost Officer Brian Eric Huff…

By

Officer Brian Eric Huff – EOW May 3 2010

Detroit Police Officer Brian Eric Huff, Badge #4600, was lost in the early morning hours of May 3rd, 2010, he was 42 years old. Officer Huff and his partner, Officer Joseph D’Angelo, were the first to arrive on the scene of a shots fired call in the 20200 block of Schoenherr, in the DPD’s eastern district. Scout car 5-14 reported on scene and waited for backing units to arrive before attempting contact. It was around 3:30AM.

Soon after Officer Huff & D’Angelo arrived, Officer Kasper Harrison, Officer John Dunlap, Officer Steve Schram and Officer Brian Glover went on scene, taking up positions in the front and rear of the house on Schoenherr.

The 911 caller reported hearing multiple shots coming from the home, known to residents in the area and to the Detroit Police Department as a ‘drug house’.

shooting scene

Officer Huff and Officer D’Angelo decided to take the lead in this incident, fearing the less experienced officers would be in danger. Officer Huff announced himself as a police officer and kicked in the door. As Officer Huff entered, he was gunned down by the shooter who was laying in wait. The shooter will go unnamed in this post, naming ‘it’ gives worth, there’s no worth here. He’s a seething lump of detritus, the kind of detritus you find lining the banks of a stagnant pond.

The shooter attempted to escape after fatally shooting Officer Huff, exchanging gunfire while doing so with the other officers on the scene.

Officer’s returned fire, wounding the shooter and taking him into custody while securing the .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun used to murder Officer Huff. A ‘bag of marijuana’ was also recovered.

4 other officers were wounded or injured during this incident in NE Detroit. Officer’s D’Angelo, Harrison, Dunlap and Schram all received gunshot wounds during the incident, Officer Glover was injured during the gunfight but was not struck by gunfire. The 5 officers have recovered from their physical wounds but I cannot personally say they’ve recovered mentally from losing their friend and mentor Officer Huff.

I don’t think anyone ever fully recovers mentally when they’ve lost a friend in the Line of Duty.

Officer Brian Huff left behind a beautiful wife and a young 10 year old son, now 20. Watching news reports from 2010 are heartbreaking and my thoughts and prayers continue for the family and friends of Officer Brian Eric Huff.

We continue losing brave men and women who have chosen to pin a piece of tin on their chests, knowing full well there’s always the possibility of giving the ultimate sacrifice while insuring the safety of our society.

The shooter was sentenced to life in prison with no possibility of parole, found guilty of all 17 charges he was charged with.

Since we lost Officer Huff, his scout car and call-sign, 5-14, have been retired out of respect to his service to the community.

On this day, the 3rd of May 2020, we remember you Officer Huff…we remember and honor your ultimate sacrifice.

We must never, ever forget.

Other officers throughout the historic district reported civilians injured behind Ned Peppers Bar, Hole In The Wall Arcade Bar and the Tumbleweed Connection Bar.

Dayton Police are now saying that 10 people are dead, including the shooter, and 16 wounded. The chart conditions of those wounded are not known at this time.

Many of the wounded were conveyed to local hospitals by Dayton PD police officers before medical personnel were cleared to enter the scene.. Once the suspect was confirmed down, those EMS/MEDIC units staged away from the shooting were directed to the scene.

Fatal Shootings, A Cop Gets Stoned At A Party And A Mini Barricade In SW Detroit

By

Detroit: An eventful Saturday/Sunday morning in Detroit, a couple of fatal shootings, a mini barricade on the SW side of Detroit and a police officer has stones chucked at him while attempting to clear an out of control party.

Buena Vista & Appoline on Detroit’s West Side

A man was privately conveyed to Henry Ford Hospital early this morning around 2:30AM and succumbed to his GSW’s. The scene of the shooting is still kind of up in the air, but it appears as if the fatal shooting may have occurred in the area of Buena Vista & Appoline on Detroit’s west side. Originally officers though the shooting may have taken place at 16th & McGraw, but officers were unable to locate a scene. I’ll update if more information is provided.

Detroit Police Dispatch Audio

Another fatal shooting may have occurred on Detroit’s west side in the area of Fenkell & Ilene. DPD units were dispatched to reports of several people shot at around 2:15AM Sunday morning and I believe someone may have been fatally injured. Dispatch audio mentions a fatal shooting but I haven’t been able to confirm it…because I’m tired and lazy this morning. I’ll update this also if more information becomes available.

Central & Navy Streets On Detroit’s SW Side

Detroit Police Officers from the 4th Precinct were called to the area of Central & Navy on reports of a felony assault on a female early Sunday morning around 6:00AM. The suspects, described as 2 armed black males retreated into a residence on Navy. Police officers swarmed the area and established a perimeter around the house. An officer was able to establish contact with 1 of the 2 suspects and the suspects surrendered. Both are now in custody and the injured female received medical attention.

Lincoln Art Park

An incredibly large party in the area of the Lincoln Art Park caused some residents some grief early Sunday morning around 1:00AM. Hundreds of cars and people packed the area, requiring the DPD to sort of shut it down. So many vehicles and people were present that multiple units were required. One of those units attempted to herd people off the railroad tracks southeast of the art park. While doing so, people starting chucking rocks at him. Thankfully the officer was uninjured. The party soon dispersed…or will, probably in August.

“What The Hell Just Happened?” says everyone in Grosse Pointe Farms

By

Pier Park in Grosse Pointe Farms

Grosse Pointe Farms: The rather bucolic community of Grosse Pointe Farms was shaken to its core early Saturday morning when miscreants from “elsewhere” invaded their beautiful little city with guns a’blazing.

I was on my boat, the white one over there, wait, no, that one over there. Sorry, they all look the same after awhile, anyway, I was on the boat checking out my porfolio when this car came screaming through the parking lot, it was like Dukes of Hazard, except the car was white and not orange…and it didn’t actually jump anything, it just drove into the water, kerplunk…but you know what I mean. Oh look, Facebook is up 1.8% …

Grosse Pointe Farms Resident

A white Dodge Charger, chased by other vehicles, entered the city in the early am, just when residents are out strolling the lakeside enjoying its peaceful tranquility….except for Saturday morning.

A chase through city streets, described by some as starting in the area of Hoover & 7 Mile in Detroit, ended up at Pier Park. The white Dodge Charger, in an attempt to escape a fusillade of bullets being fired by the chase vehicles, drove into St Clair Lake near the parks boathouse. The driver then quickly, with arms waving, exited the vehicle and swam towards calmer surroundings, known around here as Canada.

You rarely have to drive into large bodies of water to escape bullets in Canada, izz nice there.

Grosse Pointe Farms Police said the swimmer eventually made it back to shore where he met with EMS. He’s described as having non life threatening injuries.

The folks who were chasing him were found and arrested by the police, most of them anyway, police seem to think there may be more outstanding.

Evidence was discovered in the vehicles, most notably the weapons and bullets used to chase the white Charger’s driver into the lake. The investigation continues…
