#6 Shot in the ankle? By who? a really, really diminutive gangbanger? Most of the shooters just 'unload' in a general direction without taking any real aim. Sort of like 'Spray & Pray'. Prolly don't go to the NRA Gun Safety classes, either. |

#4 Slow in Detroit also. This slowing in trend may be attributed to a significant decline in population over the years. The weekend in the Detroit area, a man was shot while sitting in car outside Detroit seafood market. Investigators are also investigating a triple shooting in Warren. Also a man was killed, another wounded in shooting at a Detroit tire store. |
