DETROIT – A 23-year-old mother answered a knock on the door Tuesday night, only to be met by a person who began shooting into the Freeland Street home, according to the Detroit Police Department.
“We don’t know if this was random or this was a target,” said Capt. Jonathan Parnell. “Everything is preliminary right now, but we’re speaking to several people inside the home, including women and children.”
