Four people, including suspect, shot at apartment complex on Detroit’s east side, police say
Story by DeJanay Booth-Singleton
Four people were shot, including the suspect in self-defense, at an apartment complex Monday night on Detroit’s east side, according to police.The shooting happened at about 9:30 p.m. at Sheridan Place in the 7500 block of E. Jefferson Avenue. Police said a group was outside having a barbecue, and there was an argument about the volume of the music.
Deputy Chief Arnold Williams said shots were fired, injuring three people in their early 60s and late 70s. One of the victims was able to tackle the man and bring him to the ground, causing him to drop his gun.
Williams said a good Samaritan, a woman in her 60s, grabbed the gun and shot the gunman in self-defense. He said the woman was taken into custody for questioning. The gunman was also detained.
All four people are in stable condition, police said.
“This is a shooting that is so ridiculous in nature that you can’t even explain it,” Williams told reporters. “We’re having incidents again when people can’t resolve common issues. You don’t have to resort to a gun because somebody is playing loud music. It’s just irrational … When you’re in your 70s, this should not be what’s going on.”
An investigation is ongoing.

The trespasser tried to check in but only ended up checking out.
I’m in that second story age group.
God give me enough blood flowing to keep enough oxygen flowing to enough brain cells that I don’t become a klown actor in that scenerio. (facepalm, sighs, walks away, shaking head ….)

Days Inn?
Usually you have to go to a Quality Inn, Motel 6, or America’s Best Value to get plugged by an employee.
Shoulda tried the Holiday Inn Express.
I remember when Days Inn was a brand new franchise, back in the 70s, and wishing I could afford to stay at one!
Red Roof Inn was the only thing within per diem at Vicksburg recently and that wasn’t the greatest. (There was better over per diem but try explaining that w/ DTS. And there was stuff lots under– about like places that rent by the hour– but no.)
About 9:30pm? What are those old folks doing up that late anyway?
Something about the music being too loud?
Don’t piss-off the old phoagies.
