We know that at least one person who survived pretended to be dead. Someone who knew all the victims, said that the 28-year-old male victim played dead until the shooter was gone. That’s when he began calling people for help.
A detailed description of the shooter has not been released, but police noted that preliminary information indicated that the shooter was armed with a handgun. Police believe that the shooter knocked on the front door and shot the surviving 28-year-old man before continuing into the house and shooting the other two victims.
“Be careful, trust no one,” said a friend of the victims. “I don’t care if you’ve known them for 20 years, in the city of Detroit you trust no one.”
It’s unclear what a motive for the early morning shooting was.
