Detroit Rings In The New Year With Gunshot Wounds

January 1, 2018

Detroit: 6 people were shot overnight in the D. Some we tweeted, some we didn’t due to..well, celebrating the New Year.

It was a busy night and early morning in Detroit, the shooting team barely had enough time to investigate 1 shooting before being dispatched to the next. One Detroit Police Officer described the night like this:

As the tweet suggests, the Detroit Police brought their officers into their precincts to avoid any unfortunate incidents involving errant lead. The Detroit Fire Department/DEMS did the same.

Celebratory gunfire isn’t just a Detroit thing, it happens in most urban environments. Every year someone visits either the emergency room of a local hospital or the medical examiners office.

Last night, December 31 2017 and early New Years morning witnessed many incidents involving gunfire, falling lead wasn’t the problem, it was aimed gunfire.

More shootings were reported overnight. So far, no one has suffered fatal injuries, thankfully. Info on above tweets below.

At Woodmere & Dix in the 4th Precinct, SW Detroit, a 33 year old W/M was shot in the hand while leaving a party store. He was privately conveyed to the hospital.

At Gratiot & 7 Mile, a 25 year old B/M was shot in the stomach while leaving a party store, also privately conveyed to St John’s Hospital.

At Wanda & Louisiana a 47 year old B/M was shot in the family jewels, also privately conveyed to a local hospital.

At Quinn & Veach, a 36 year old male was shot in the left bicep and back while talking a stroll on Quinn.

At Gratiot & Eastburn, a 17 year old B/F was shot in the thigh. This incident started off as a shots fired call in the area of Brock & Bringard.

Not Tweeted:

East State Fair & I-75, a 24 year old B/M was shot multiple times, once in the head. He was also privately conveyed to the hospital. In this instance, a white pick-up conveyed the victim to the hospital. Reports indicate the pick-up had several bullets holes and the driver fled the hospital after dropping off the victim. The victim was reportedly in critical condition.

And so it goes….

Happy New Year Detroit.
