Noel Night Triple Shooting In Detroit

Detroit Police Dispatch Audio

 

Edit 0950am December 4 2017: Detroit Police have taken 1 person into custody for the shooting.

Edit December 3 2017: Detroit Police now saying here were 4 victims to last nights shooting @ John R & Farnsworth. People are often privately conveyed to local hospitals in Detroit. Detroit EMS response times used to be horrible, hence the changing victim counts we often see. DEMS response times are no longer an issue, but old habits die hard.

Detroit December 2 2017: Violence once again mars what should have been a peaceful evening in Detroit.

Detroit Police responded to John R & Farnsworth in midtown Detroit on reports of a shooting Saturday evening. The shooting scene is behind the Detroit Institute of the Arts, not the DIA itself.

 

 

Noel night festivities were in full swing when a shooter decided it was a good time to gun down a trio of teens.

All 3 victims suffered gunshot wounds to the legs. 1 17 year old female was conveyed to Detroit Receiving Hospital by a Detroit Police Officer, accompanied by her mother. The other 2 victims, both males in their teens, were conveyed by ambulance. All are recovering in the hospital and in stable condition.

Reports were all over the place as they tend to be in incidents like these, from a shooter inside the DIA to an active shooter outside the DIA. Responding officers eventually sorted the facts from fiction and were able to secure the scene.

Noel Night was cancelled by authorities, Wayne State University was placed on lockdown and eventually the scene was secured, but not without troubles caused by roving bands of teens. The McDonalds on Woodward & Canfield was apparently trashed and fights broke out throughout the area.

Information on the shooting suspect is scarce but sources identify him as a male black. He is not in custody at the time of this writing.

Random or targeted?

No one knows at this point, but it’s rare 3 teens are randomly gunned down in Detroit.

Let’s see how this unfolds. Check back for updates.

And so it goes….
