Eastern Michigan University Shooting: 3 Shot Near Campus

YPSILANTI, Mich. — Police say three people have been shot and wounded in a vehicle near Eastern Michigan University during an apparent attempted narcotics sale.

Ypsilanti police Sgt. Troy Fulton says the gunman remained at large early Saturday following the shootings Friday night. He says the three victims – two 18-year-olds and a 20-year-old – were expected to survive. Two were hospitalized in stable condition. The condition of the other victim wasn't disclosed.

Fulton says the altercation was sparked by a discrepancy over the price of pills in the attempted drug sale. He says the suspect pulled out a gun, and a driver lunged to try to grab it when the man started shooting. He fled before police arrived.

University spokesman Geoff Larcom says nobody involved is a student at Eastern Michigan.

Two things result from substances which are illegal and controlled; jail or death!

Been there, done that, and will never do it again!

Not news; some young idiot ( in the country) is drugging as we type!

continued from yesterday... ABSOLUTELY NO PLEA BARGAINING! If a convicted person is sentenced to "X" amount of years, they should serve "X" amount of years! ABSOLUTELY NO TIME OFF THE SENTENCE FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR! Matter of fact, TIME SHOULD BE ADDED FOR BAD BEHAVIOR! So many laws have been passed over the years in favor of the criminal, it's time to start passing some laws that will favor the innocent! victims of crime. America, wake up! Let your congress representative know this business of being so soft with criminals has got to stop! With the advent of DNA science, and so many forensic tools now being utilized for proving one's guilt or innocence, it's time to get the bad people out of society and make them honestly not want to return to prison after their release. Prison time should be a punishment, plain and simple. No cruel and unusual punishment. I'm in total agreement on this. But NO PAMPERING WITH TV, GYMS, AND EASY ACCESS TO DRUGS, ETC. Remember that killer Richard Speck, the low life that killed all those nurses in Chicage back in 1966? Prisoners actually had access to drugs, quite a bit of money, and a movie camera used to film Mr. Low Life and his low life friends, bragging how great their life was behind bars! This all took place in a maximum security prison! Shortly after Mr. Low Life died. No doubt while he was nice and high on drugs.

If drugs were legal,as they should be, this very probably would not have occurred.

So the people who can't afford drugs can kill more people who can?

No, so that one can go to a pharmacy or government store and buy them, thereby by passing the need to deal with dangerous criminals. Why would you believe that once drugs were legal, that more killing would occur than does now?

Kids should learn a lesson from this all, before you sell drugs, make sure to correctly price them.

Love the pic of the Springer. Is that your furkid ?

The picture is a generic springer, although it looks like my previous one. Right now, I have (all rescues) a Spanish Mastiff/Lab cross, an American Cocker Spaniel (mill release) and a liver and white field type Springer with personality issues (toothiness).

As they say at Narcotics Anonymus, addiction leads to jails, institutions, and death.

Some people are just so caught up in their own hate they don't understand why there is this level of outrage. It's not that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin for no justifiable reason. The outrage is over the authorities nonchalant atttitude to the incident and sweeping under the rug of the death. Blacks kill whites and when they do they are charged, go to trial, and if convicted, sentenced. Since 1976 over 250 Blacks have been executed for killing a white person. During the same period, 18 Whites have been executed for killing a black. Sandford Fla has a long history of ignoring White on Black crime. Why would the police do a background check and toxicology test on the VICTIM...DEAD PERSON.....and NOT do one on the shooter? Probably due to budget cutbacks..they could only afford to do one. Oh, the area where Trayvon was shot....minorities 51%...whites 49%. Suspicious...right..he's black..something in his hand ..correct...Tea and Skittles...PROFILING....ABSOLUTELY....following TRAYVON ..yes....told he didn't need to do that by POLICE....YES....did what he was told....NO.....initiated confrontation...YES.....SELF DEFENSE....No way! Stand your ground does not mean you can keep MOVING the GROUND ever closer to the person making every effort to escape ....per the 911 TAPE.

Maybe, just maybe more blacks were executed for killing whites than whites killing blacks because more blacks killed whites than whites killed blacks.
