SWAT/SRT Callout on the east side of Detroit

Detroit Police & Fire Response To Conner St Barricaded Gunman


Detroit Police had a SWAT/SRT call-out last night and into this morning on Connor & Freud in the east side of Detroit,  5th Detroit Police Precinct.

What started off as just a call of a possible armed robbery ended up being a full-blown in your face barricade with children and adults involved. Detroit Police units from the 5th precinct made the scene late Monday night and were met with gunfire from inside the house. It’s not believed any of the shots were actually fired at officers.

5th precinct supervisors quickly set up a perimeter and contained the scene. Attempts were made to negotiate with the suspects inside the dwelling but they quickly deteriorated, requiring a declaration and call-out of  Detroit PD’s SRT/Hostage Negotiation team.

The suspect had at least 1 hostage according to scouts on the scene.

A wide perimeter had been established due to the proximity of the house and the surrounding neighborhood.

Previous attempts at negotiation had failed and at least 1 attempt “to take out” the armed suspect failed when he went back into the house.

Detroit Fire’s 6th Battalion under the command of Battalion Chief 6 responded to the scene and staged nearby at Clairpointe & Freud.

At around 1:25AM, DPD reported the house was on fire and that the suspect had fired rounds from the dwelling. The 6th Battalion was notified to hang tight until the all clear was given by the DPD.

The DPD SRT Bearcat called the scene secure at around 1:28AM and the 6th Battalion moved in to fight the fire.

DFD dispatch advised Battalion Chief 6 there may still be civilians inside the dwelling and to take appropriate measures. Companies immediately entered the dwelling and started fighting fires in the basement, 1st floor and 2nd floor.

Battalion Chief 6 reported that they had rescued 1 small child during the search. 1 suspect is in custody after being tackled by an SRT Commander. It’s unknown if the 2nd suspect escaped or became a crispy critter during the fire.

2 children were injured and conveyed to a local hospital. 1 child is said to be in critical condition.

A Wild Morning in Detroit With Shootings & Home Invading Birds.

I have to apologize for my absence of late, the Warden brought home a disease and my immune system hasn’t recovered from the last time. So, there you go….

Luckily, I have tape. When I’m not around monitoring the scanner frequencies for Detroit (Which is 99.9% of the time), I tape them via a computer program, it’s a wonderful thing. No one has the time to sit on ones ass and stare at the computer, so the tape collects what I think is interesting. It’s a time consuming process to collect, edit and upload all the media I do collect, so send beer and burritos, poste haste. In lieu of beer and burritos, you can send cash, bucketloads of it…I need a new scanner, 2 new laptops and a Snickers Bar.

So without further ado, I’m going to list all the incidents I deem interesting enough to include in this summary of Detroit crime on Sunday, November 27 2016.

I had to switch audio providers half-way through the writing process due to Soundcloud throwing some sort of fit. Clyp works fine but it isn’t my first choice. Anyway, here you are….
