Fireworks Night Tensions Rise

Published 2 days, 21 hours ago
Description

Just hours before Detroit’s massive fireworks show, police shot an 18-year-old during a chase near Campus Martius Park—just as an 8 p.m. curfew was about to go into effect. A 19-year-old companion was also arrested for carrying a weapon. Despite the incident, the event drew thousands safely. Police detained 180 teens for curfew violations and seized eight guns, warning that weapons brought downtown led to arrests. Mayor Mary Sheffield backed the curfew as essential for safety and peace, while City Councilwoman Mary Waters questioned why parents weren’t better warned earlier, calling for more proactive education over last-minute rules.
