DETROIT – Detroit police say at least seven teenagers have been shot near a high school and two are in critical condition.

Detroit Police spokesman Rod Liggons tells WXYZ-TV the victims were shot Tuesday afternoon at a bus stop by gunmen who emerged from a green minivan.

Detroit Public Schools Police Chief Roderick Grimes says at least five students attending classes at Cody High School were shot. He says two are in critical condition...

Sounds gang-related, but we'll see.

I feel sorry for children who have parents dumb enough to raise them in Detroit.

GET OUT OF THAT HELL HOLE, YOU ARE RUINING FUTURE GENERATIONS.

Detroit is a lost cause.

Either gang related or an extremely pi$$ed off old man. Retired auto worker. Korean war vet. Probably has a pristine Gran Torino in his garage.
Could be.

I met a guy here on Maui a few years back and he had just moved here from Detroit. I asked him why he moved and he said that he lived about two blocks from a fast food place but couldn’t let his two daughters go there alone as it was too dangerous.

He must have a pretty good job, and some money saved up, to move a family to Maui. You’d think he could have just moved to a better neighborhood in Detroit.

The shooter? Undoubtedly no prior criminal record, anti-abortion, pro-Israel, conservative republican, heterosexual, white, wife of twenty three years, two children, church goer. But he purchased a handgun last week and went INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!! Details at 6 on ABC.

..they should move to Philly, where they could “feel” the luv....

Seven people wounded, five were students of Cody 9th Grade Academy, in a summer school program. Sounds like the shooters were waiting in a vehicle at the gas station across the street. They drove towards the bus stop, wearing something over their faces, and one of them may have said, “You know who we’re waiting for.” That’s a mix of early reports and live coverage, so probably about half wrong.

All things considered, I’d rather live in a city run by Republicans. Living in a Democrat-run city (Detroit, Newark, Oakland, Philly, Washington, D.C) can be hazardous to your health.

I was born and raised in Detroit...now live 150 miles away...trust me...in the city proper, there are no better neighborhoods.

In 2000, my elderly mother was mugged by two, young, strong, blackmen...when I checked with the police they told me to move her out, as she was just a target.

I did.

Detroit, is gone.

Those 2 morons in the video have a short shelf life ahead!
Or a nice lil pad in da Big House!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

The Detroit ethos will spread over the land.

It's one of the worst but just like every other American city, full of useless AH that want entitlements, don't want to or won't work. Check out Chicago: 9 dead, several injured in weekend violence Chicago Sun-Times - ‎Jun 29, 2009‎ This will turn into yet another anti-gun issue. I'm pretty much fed-up with America... I miss the one I grew up in..

[yield 2 the right]

Detroit—that is all we need to know...

[FroggyTheGremlim]

That war is lost, lost. We must pull out of Detroit immediately!

[IbJensen]

Detroit: a rathole that was once a great and vibrant city!
