Gunmen fire on group of Detroit teens, wounding 7
DETROIT – Gunmen in a green minivan opened fire on a group of teenagers waiting at a bus stop near a Detroit school on Tuesday, wounding seven including two who were in critical condition, authorities said.Five of the teens had just left Cody Ninth Grade Academy, where they were taking summer classes, when they were shot at the nearby bus stop.
The gunmen exited a vehicle and “asked for a person by name” before they “opened fire at the crowd,” said Detroit Public Schools Police Chief Roderick Grimes.
Detroit Police were looking for two suspects in a green minivan, said spokesman Rod Liggons. Officers were interviewing some of the victims in the hospital Tuesday evening, he said.
Four boys and three girls ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old were hospitalized, two of them — a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old female — in critical condition, said Deputy Chief James Tolbert.
Gas station owner Steve Hakim said he saw two people with T-shirts covering their heads run across his lot toward the bus stop. Then he heard about 10 gunshots, saw a boy and a girl fall down and called 911.
“It’s pretty scary,” Hakim said. “Somebody’s got to do something.”
The irony of someone with an Arabic name in Detroit saying that is that almost all of the Arabs and blacks in Detroit are there because Henry Ford invited their immediate ancestors to Detroit to be scabs and union busters. This is why responsible right wingers don’t lionize Henry Ford, unlike those whose standards are so low, that they turn him into a big supposed racial hero, because he once made a few comments about a certain ethnicity. Didn’t like Jews, but loved his Arabs and blacks. Last I looked, Jews weren’t mowing down teenagers at a bus stop in Detroit, nor were they ramming jumbo jets into skyscrapers.
