Police said a 14-year-old was shot in the chest, a 16-year-old, and a 17-year-old are now in custody

olice said the shooting happened near the intersection of Farmer Street and Grand River Avenue, an area typically busy during the week with people dining and shopping.

Investigators said the 14-year-old was shot in the chest.

A 16-year-old and a 17-year-old are now in custody in connection with the shooting.

“It’s really difficult to hear,” said Miles Fradenack, 19, who said he’s aware of the trend of large gatherings organized through social media. “I remember thinking that I was so grown when I was 14 and 16, but it’s like I see these 14 and 16-year-olds on the TV during these teen takeovers, and it’s like those are babies. Those are like literal children.”

I, for one, accept our Krogerian overlord's. Can't beat those fuel points.

Going to a concert at st. Andrews tonight and my route has lots of flooding . Just wanted to know how accurate that was.

I am just so tired and need to vent. My coworkers and I all vent to each other and I wish there was something we could do but there’s not. This company makes an insane amount and we have been short staffed for 4 years! The calls are over 500+ a day and has gotten to 3000 holding in a day. They won’t hire and when they do it’s not Michigan residents. It was not like this my first year but it’s gotten bad. We are micro managed because they have no one else to work so even if we have to use the bathroom we can’t be gone for more than 2 minutes without getting checked on. We get no perks maybe a 10 dollar gift card once in a blue moon. No Christmas gift. No nothing. Not even gear with their logo. Our pay is not great and we get no discount on their services that we have to use. We get cussed at all day because of people are angry with wait times and service but this company could care less about its employees and customers. I’m drained

Macomb County, MI — Just days after pleading no contest in a separate Macomb County impaired driving case, Kimberley Anne Mathers, the ex-wife of rapper Eminem, is now facing a new felony charge in Chesterfield Township.

6/2 5:30-7:30pm is the in person meeting and 6/8 5:30-7:30 is the virtual meeting. Hopefully people can attend to give thoughts of the study, especially the part with a potential expansion!

This police officer was brutalizing the citizens of Melvindale and the surrounding areas for years and the city kept him because he brought in money from writing tickets.

I wonder if those elected officials actually understand the consequences of being ticketed as a low income citizen, or maybe they just don't care and only now allowed him to be terminated because of the publicity.

This type of policing is the opposite of public safety, and its only function is to extract funds from the community to avoid having to raise taxes and risk being unpopular in an election.

That is true corruption.

Usually we hear the alarm the first Saturday of every month at 1pm.

Did anyone just hear it go off? Is it because of the storm about to come?

I am the founder of Detroit Hearts & Hounds and I am currently in the process of finding a school within Detroit to pilot my program. It would be completely free and all materials are provided.

What is Detroit Hearts & Hounds?
It’s a nonprofit K–12 educational program embedded in Detroit Public Community Schools that teaches children empathy, responsibility, and community through animal care and compassion for dogs. Programming begins entirely in the
classroom in the earliest grades and grows into real, hands-on shelter volunteering by high school — creating a meaningful pipeline
from childhood curiosity to teenage leadership.

I really need just one school to say yes in order to start making an impact and finding one has proven to be really difficult. If you or anyone you know has a connection to someone within DPSCD, please have them shoot me a message on either instagram @detroitheartshounds or an email at detroitheartshounds@gmail.com

I am looking for recommendations for a Michigan Employment Attorney. I have a LLC and just looking to hire someone to look over pretty basic employee contracts I drafted up for account managers/sales position. Everything on google is a paid advertisement of some over priced law firm.
