1 killed in double shooting on Detroit’s west side
One person died and another’s condition is unknown after Detroit police say a double shooting took place on the city’s west side Monday morning.
MONDAY NEWS HIT – Officers could be seen with flashlights and cameras in the upstairs floor of a home where a double shooting occurred early Monday morning.
Detroit police say at least one of the victims died from their injuries while the second’s condition remains unknown after gunfire was exchanged in a home on the city’s west side.
Police haven’t released much information on the nature of the shooting, but did say they started getting calls around 3:30 a.m. about reports of shots being fired.
The scene remains active inside the home, located on the 13600 block of Santa Rosa. It’s near Oakman Boulevard and Livernois.
It’s unclear what motive might be at play regarding the shooting.
Police are expected to canvass for witnesses and any home surveillance footage that could tell them anything about what happened.
DSO investigating racial slur incident
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra said it is investigating an incident during one of the group’s performances last week involving a racial slur. In a Facebook post over the weekend, the DSO said it was “deeply disappointed by an incident that took place towards the end of Friday night’s concert when an audience member shouted a racial slur.”
“Racism and bigotry have no place in Orchestra Hall, and behavior like this is unacceptable. We are currently investigating and will enact a permanent ban once we identify the ticketholder,” wrote the post.
The DSO is currently performing many holiday-themed series with Christmas around the corner. On Dec. 9, the night of the incident, the orchestra put on a show that included music from A Charlie Brown Christmas.
“Live music is a profoundly human experience that taps into our emotions and provides us all with a sacred space for listening. We apologize that this space was violated. We appreciate our audiences so much and hope to see you back at Orchestra Hall soon.”
