Detroit Adult Entertainment: 7 teens shot in Detroit as summer students depart – Toledo Blade
July 1, 2009 at 6:01 am | In Detroit adult entertainment | No CommentsAnother summer school student, 15-year-old Bria Wilson, said she was standing at the bus stop when she heard the gunfire.
She said she was facing away from the gunmen and ran away after the shots were fired. But she saw a 16-year-old male friend lying on the ground, bleeding.
“They were so close – it almost hit me,” she said.
Detroit Public Schools spokesman Steve Wasko said there was “nothing that we’re aware of at this time” linking the shootings with any dispute at the school.
He said the shootings happened about 2:15 p.m., about 15 minutes after summer school students were dismissed for the day.
Imam Abdullah El-Amin, who co-owns the Numan Funeral Home near the intersection where the shooting took place, said drug-dealing, prostitution, and “hopelessness” are common in the area.
