#3 Detroit police did not immediately return requests for confirmation. That's because the ones who aren't in jail are still in hiding.

#4 Gives new meaning to "getting trimmed" or "clipped." This would be a good time to make a film titled: "Escape from Detroit" if the usual suspects were involved. Or maybe "Detroitistan" if this were mooselimb inspired. I wonder if the police response time to this shooting was the usual one hour.

Detroit

The family of a Detroit woman shot to death after she is believed to have sought help at a Dearborn Heights home is calling for answers in the incident.

The family of Renisha McBride, 19, said she went for help after a car accident around 2:30 a.m. Saturday. She died of a gunshot wound to the head after knocking on the door of a home on the 16000 block of Outer Drive near Warren in Dearborn Heights, near where the accident occurred. Her cellphone battery had died, her family said.

Few other details about the incident have been released by the Dearborn Heights Police Department.

Dearborn Heights (has) identified the person who fired the shot and killed the woman, according to a press release. The statement added that a final report on the shooting will be forwarded to the Wayne County Prosecutors Office for review in the near future.

McBrides maternal aunt, Bernita Spinks, said the shooting was not justified even if the resident believed McBride was an intruder breaking into the home.

He shot her in the head ... for what? For knocking on his door, said Spinks on Tuesday. If he felt scared or threatened, he should have called 911.

Spinks said the family met with officials from the Prosecutors Office on Tuesday. Spinks said she believes her niece was racially profiled.

You see a young black lady on your porch and you shoot? said Spinks.

He killed my niece and he needs to pay for it. He needs to be in jail.

There was no window broken. My niece didnt bother anyone. She went looking for help and now shes dead.
