Communique From Detroit

A storm swept through Detroit this morning, bringing with it a storm of new violence.

A worker jumped off of his fork truck this morning at the Chrysler Jefferson North Assembly Plant and stabbed another worker in the face and neck, killing him. He then drove to Belle Isle and shot himself. I heard the police siren from my office.

A 14 year old boy was fatally shot running away from a gas station robbery. Details here: http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/09/20/3-wanted-for-questioning-in-detroit-teens-death/

To top it off, a Google Street View camera car cruises through a neighborhood and the crew have a shotgun pointed at them. Illegal? Nope- not in Detroit.
