Detroit — Four Detroit Public Schools students and a former student were shot Tuesday afternoon after leaving Cody High School, said Detroit Public Schools spokesman Steve Wasko.
The shooting happened just before 3 p.m. near a bus stop and gas station at the Southfield Freeway service drive and West Warren Avenue. Two men were seen in ski masks approaching the teens — three boys and two girls, ages 14-16 — and said, “You know who we’re looking for” before firing roughly 15 rounds. The two men then drove off in a getaway car, Detroit police said.
The conditions of the teens were not immediately available. The area of the shooting is known for high gang activity.
