One person was killed in downtown Detroit after someone in an SUV fired shots into a crowd of people protesting George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis custody, a Detroit police spokeswoman said Saturday.
Kirkwood said the victim was a 19-year-old man, who was pronounced dead at the hospital. The suspect pulled up in a Dodge Durango and fired shots into the crowd, she said.No details about the victim or the person who fired the shot or shots were immediately available, Kirkwood said. The demonstration began earlier in the day and was peaceful as protesters marched by Detroit Police Headquarters. As evening wore on, some in the crowd became belligerent.
MomsDemand Well maybe... Just maybe... Here's a thought: We prosecute criminals who use firearms in the commission of a felony and put them in prison where they belong. For a long time.
A Neo Nazi boogaloo boy did this
HopeSprings10 The shooter was from Eastpointe, a Detroit suburb.
Shot by American Police from a Police car
Is this that maga crowd Trump was talking about?
Most of the people arrested last night are not Detroiters. Lots of outsiders coming out of their bunkers to start fires and break shit.
shannonrwatts I bet I can guess who the shooter voted for and where they get their news from.
TXLADY7061 When people start killing,it’s no longer a protest about someone else’s tragic death, especially a person they did not know. It’s deliberate MURDER, not a “protest”. If can’t report facts accurately, then let someone who can.
all that police surveillance and they don't know who did it?
shannonrwatts Bad.
shannonrwatts I'm sure they were a well-adjusted, responsible gun owner. (Yes, that was sarcasm)
shannonrwatts Not just someone. A Trump voter. Say it like it is.
Everytown 💔
Same guys from the capital protests.
Hey how about saying 'death in police custody' you say 'murdered by police'
. 'someone in an SUV' drives unmolested into an American city center filled with scores of heavily-armed, highly-aroused cops Fires several shots Exits the scene successfully Kinda makes ya wonder, don't it?
MomsDemand This is in response to Trump’s dog whistle. ‘The shooting starts.’
It's becoming dirty..
'The suspect pulled up in a Dodge Durango and fired shots into the crowd, she said.' The Motor City, where suspect's vehicles are ID'd before they are.
This will be a call to arms for protesters. realDonaldTrump and the GOP have now unleashed Pandora’s box by enabling their supporters to shoot at protesters with Trumps tweet. So it begins...
JimLaPorta Cops gonna cop.
These police Departments are using false flag operations to paint protestors as criminals. The tables should be turned. Pressure them
When the mobs seeks to terrify their neighborhood with fire and violence not everyone is going to lay down and beg. These antifa and black block protesters want blood and that is what they are going to get.
That sounds like American white....
MalcolmNance Was it a black & white SUV with funny flashing lights on the roof?
CraigSJ
So you’re saying Trump was right?
MaddyReports Yea... Thats why they were shot in downtown Detroit... No other reason lmao PeterrGriffin_
Murdered. Keep your verbs consistent.
MalcolmNance hmmmmm... reason for no identifiers at all... shooter was white and arrested without incident, the victim was POC.
Misery of the masses.
It started, they are shooting into crowds now.
Check the White house to be sure that the kill was not ordered by the madman donald trump.
One way to stop all this drama is make a new right that everyone has that states if u see a cop abusing his power u can step in and pervent a death whole point every cop will know that if their in the wrong they can not fight back
MalcolmNance POTUS APPROVED, ENDORSED & ENCOURAGED THIS BEHAVIOR. This is now the time to get away with murder. Trump enjoys chaos...So did Hitler!
So that’s what the 2nd amendment is all about. Shooting into a crowd of protest.
The United States can be divided into different regions, a region where blacks are completely autonomous, so that there will be absolutely no racism.
I was waiting for the shootings to start 😖
Lol so now they want the police they don't like to investigate
How Racist Democrats will run Michigan & Detroit in a near future.
and now the undercover cops are using SUVs to kill people.
People are rioting and looting in cities mismanaged by corrupt democrat mayors who have used the police to surpress and kill minorities. Minneapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, NYC, DC, etc are all run my democrat mayors and the people are now revolting against the democrat party.
Could this be in fulfilment of Trump's infamous quote... ... ''When the looting starts, the shooting start''
Now is that some “good people”? 🤬
This was only a matter of time!!
felixdennis123 Arms and defend yourselves people!
America is in shambles.
Probably effect of Trump's tweet. Complete melt down of law and order.

At some point it becomes a riot, and not a protest...
and the war begins
It was just a matter of time now the protesters become killers, now they are no different from the cop who killed GF.
awful
USA Today is sad combination of guns, racist police and presidential violation, circle of hate and killings. GeorgeFloyd homeofthebrave ICantBreathe
How many deaths have there been so far due to actual rioters? I haven't heard of any.
this is on you. POTUS
According to white supremacist, this is how riots should be handled.
And still white people get to be vigilantes...smdh
The first blood.
Baligubadle1 A MAGAt no doubt. I'm fucking sick of this
Horrible
Nationwide protests and riots. Police officers beating people in the streets. The president threatening to deploy the military and have the protesters shot. If this were happening in any other country, the United States would probably be calling for regime change by now.
After Trump's tweet of incitement yesterday, this surprises exactly 0 people.
“Rioters”
Fuck
It's a start.
Okay so they killing people for looting. Okay fuck looting.
speechless
Antifa
Probably one of 'the very fine people.'
How dare people protest the state-sanctioned murder of an innocent person.
The whole world needs to support the protest movements in the USA!
Fantastic
good people on both sides? realDonaldTrump
WHITE SUPREMACISTS
White supremacists did it.
The counter started clicking. What will be the final death toll? Maybe more than COVID19 ...
It’s like Charlottesville all over
I don’t want to hear the phrases “stay home” or “social distance” ever again. These riots show that I should do the exact opposite.
Cops killing more in Detroit? Color me shocked
I’m surprised this hasn’t happened sooner or a Reginald Denny situation as people are pissed off and rightfully so.
