14-year-old shot in head after argument between younger children, Detroit police say
A teen was shot in the head by another teen, who also shot his mother in the arm after an argument between two young children Thursday evening, Detroit police said.
The shooting occurred on the 800 block of Delaware Street shortly before 6 p.m., said Assistant Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald.
The incident began with two kids, ages 6 and 8, who were arguing, Fitzgerald said. A 13-year-old, who is related to one of the children, stepped in and tried to separate them, police said, but the 8-year-old went home and returned with a 14-year-old family member and his mother.
The 13- and 14-year-olds then began to argue when another teen, age 16, got involved.
The 16-year-old’s mother tried to stop him, Fitzgerald said, but he pulled out a gun and fired shots, hitting the 14-year-old in the head and his mother in the arm.
The mother was expected to recover, Fitzgerald said, but the 14-year-old was in “extremely critical” condition as of Thursday night.
The shooter dropped the gun and fled, running past undercover police who were involved in an unrelated case, Fitzgerald said. They quickly apprehended him.
“The first thing he asked when they got him in the car was how’s his mom,” Fitzgerald said.
Police said another teen, who tried to retrieve the weapon after the incident and discarded it, also was taken into custody.

(CBS DETROIT) – Michigan State Police say a road worker who was struck by a vehicle who was hit by a vehicle on I-75 in Detroit Wednesday afternoon has died from his injuries.
Police say the crash happened around 1:40 p.m. Wednesday on southbound I-75 near Springwells. A worker with a moving road crew was setting a road flare between construction vehicles in the right line when a Kai sedan, driven by a 71-year-old from Allen Park, entered the right lane and struck the man.
The 53-year-old road worker from Lincoln Park was taken to an area hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
“We want to remind drivers to move over when they see construction vehicles on the side or in the roadway working,” said MSP Lt. Mike Shaw. “The suspect that struck the worker stopped on scene after the crash. After the investigation is completed, an investigator’s report will be submitted to the prosecutor’s office.”
(CBS DETROIT) – Downtown Detroit is about to get a lot brighter, just in time for the Christmas season.
“The countdown is officially on here at Campus Martius Park,” Laura Dean, director of Parks and Public Spaces at Downtown Detroit Partnership.
It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year for Detroit, especially with a tree standing 66 feet tall. It made its way to Motown via the City of Manton, Michigan.
“We found it in August, and we cut it down yesterday on private property, and it was donated to us to serve as our centerpiece this year,” Dean said.
The Norway Spruce sits high for all to see. Over the next two weeks, a process will begin, to get it all dressed up. It takes 10 people to make it happen.
“Twenty-five thousand LED lights that go on here, and sparkling bulbs that light up,” Dean said. “We start wrapping our trees at the end of August, and it takes until about tree lightning day for everything to finish.”
The city is getting ready, from Cadillac Square to the ice skating rink. But this year, the Downtown Detroit Partnership is adding a new attraction called Chalet 313 to the park.
“There will be a bar and light appetizers served there, you will basically be able to go into the structure, go upstairs, and then look into the tree,” Dean said.
An estimated 100,000 people will show up for the tree lighting.
CBS News Detroit learned that the tree has a few bald spots, so teams will climb in to fill the gaps before it’s time.
“These are cut from the bottom of a tree, and they just help fill in where maybe we aren’t looking the best,” Dean said.
The 21st tree lighting is on Nov. 22 in the heart of Downtown Detroit at Campus Martius Park.
