DETROIT (June 30) - Gunmen in a green minivan opened fire on a group of teenagers waiting at a bus stop near a Detroit school on Tuesday, wounding seven including two who were in critical condition, authorities said.

Five of the teens had just left Cody Ninth Grade Academy, where they were taking summer classes, when they were shot at the nearby bus stop.

The gunmen exited a vehicle and "asked for a person by name" before they "opened fire at the crowd," said Detroit Public Schools Police Chief Roderick Grimes.

Detroit Police were looking for two suspects in a green minivan, said spokesman Rod Liggons. Officers were interviewing some of the victims in the hospital Tuesday evening, he said.

Four boys and three girls ranging in age from 14 to 17 years old were hospitalized, two of them — a 16-year-old boy and a 17-year-old female — in critical condition, said Deputy Chief James Tolbert.

Gas station owner Steve Hakim said he saw two people with T-shirts covering their heads run across his lot toward the bus stop. Then he heard about 10 gunshots, saw a boy and a girl fall down and called 911.

"It's pretty scary," Hakim said. "Somebody's got to do something."

Police were reviewing video taken from the gas station's security cameras and took a disc containing the footage, Hakim said.

Another summer school student, 15-year-old Bria Wilson, said she was standing at the bus stop when she heard the gunfire. She said she was facing away from the shooters and ran away after the shots were fired. But she saw a 16-year-old male friend lying on the ground, bleeding.

"They were so close — it almost hit me," she said.
Schools spokesman Steve Wasko said there was "nothing that we're aware of at this time" linking the shootings with any fight or dispute at the school.

He said the shootings happened about 2:15 p.m., about 15 minutes after summer school students were dismissed for the day.

im so fuckin tired of hearin kids at fucking bus stops for school being shot at... this shit is sad and needs to fucking stop...

yeah, I just heard about this.
smh

Shit like this pisses me off. I hate hearing about shit like this. Fake ass 2009 gangsters...I would give anything for a 1980-1990's time machine...

hell naw bruh..
thats the crack era, and I thats when our communities got really corrupted. I just wish we can fast forward time because I just feel in my heart that a dramatic change is gonna come within the next 20 years. I just know it.
especially if I have anything to do with it.
that's why I'm up here doing positive things within the communities and hopefully we can start a non profit organization and get sponsors and shit so we can expand to the country. but nobody wants to support positive things so we're doing it alone for now. hopefully one day we'll get recognized and start to get more followers of this positive movement

yea the 80's belonged to the chambers brothers in detroit... not fun times at all...

Things were so much simpler in those times...It was on some, "either this will happen, or that will happen." Now, any and everything happens. Bitch ass niggas scared to fight now. Not when I was growing up.

yeah, I can agree about that ..
even though I was born in 89 LOL
but when I was young we used to buck it out at any given time. now niggas ready to shoot off back. not cool
