The MSP reported that in the last couple of days 2 more shootings; or at least vehicles being struck by gunfire, occurred on metro Detroit Freeways.
Metro South MSP Post: A driver came into the post and reported that his rented U-haul van had a bullet hole in the top frame of his driver side door. He attempted to make the report with DPD but was advised to report it at the post.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the driver was driving in the left lane of westbound I 94 yesterday between 5:30-6:00PM when he heard a “noise” near the lodge. He checked his vehicle this morning prior to turning it in and observed an apparent bullet hole.
There was no traffic incident that took place on the freeway that the driver is aware of. It is possible the round came from the neighborhood along the freeway. Detectives are currently collecting evidence. Investigation is continuing.

On 7/9 Metro South troopers were dispatched to a Taylor address to make contact with a female who reported driving southbound on the Southfield Fwy near Ford Road, heard a noise and thought she ran over something.
She continued to her job in and when she inspected her vehicle she found a bullet hole on the trunk area of her vehicle. The trajectory of the bullet appears to be coming up at an angle suggesting a ricochet.
The driver stated she heard a noise from the rear the same time a black Ford Taurus and red Chysler 300 were observed passing at a high rate of speed with one exiting off at Ford Road.
Anyone who may have witnessed an altercation between those vehicles or have information on this incident are asked to call the Metro South Post at 734.287.5000

And so it goes….

The MSP is instructing you not to engage, don’t honk at them, don’t make gestures that might hurt the shooters feelings, don’t make eye contact while they’re f***ing shooting at you…just leave, don’t engage the bullies.
There’s been 13 shootings on Detroit area freeways in the last few weeks….don’t make the bullies shoot at you.
“We haven’t had this many road rage incidents without firearms, let alone with firearms, we haven’t seen things like this — where people are just mad about something,” Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw said. ‘People are just mad’:
‘We haven’t seen things like this,’ Mike Shaw said…“A simple lane violation, disrespecting someone, somebody looked at them wrong — going too fast or too slow,” Shaw said.
Well, when you let freeway shooters out of jail for $500 f***ing dollars…what the hell do you expect.
By the way, they aren’t f***ing bullies….they’re f***ing criminals. Whatever happened to calling things out for what they are….Tell you what, when someone you care about has to have their brain matter/blood washed down by the fire department, maybe then you’ll call it for what it is.
So, you have done everything you can to #Letitgo. And that traffic bully is still bothering you. Here are some tips: Get out of their way. Either slowdown or exit. Don’t speed up. Call 911. If you can get a plate, great! If not don’t worry about it. Avoid eye contact or gestures! pic.twitter.com/2NQK4E9m6j
