About a dozen people were hurt in an apartment building fire early Friday morning on Detroit's west side. Twenty people were displaced and 11 people suffered injuries including smoke inhalation, bumps and bruises, Fire Chief James Harris told The Detroit News. The blaze was reported around 3:30 a.m. It left the five-story building heavily damaged. At least some sections of the building's roof appeared to have collapsed. Harris described the building as a total loss. The cause of the fire was under investigation Friday morning.
Four people were shot, three fatally, by a man who appeared to be firing at people randomly over a roughly 2 1/2-hour period Sunday morning in Detroit, police said. Police arrested the unidentified suspect Sunday evening after and hourslong manhunt with help from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Detroit Police Chief James White said tips led officers to the suspect, but did not release further information. Thank you to the hard working men and women of the DPD that put themselves in harm's way each day. Also, a big thank you to our law enforcement partners, the department said on its Facebook page Sunday night. White said police traced all four shootings to one firearm and believe there is one shooter. He said investigators don't believe there was any connection between the victims, noting one person was walking a dog and another waiting for a bus when they were shot. He said police discovered a woman in her 40s
