POLL: Has the Stars & Stripes Shooting Changed Your Opinion on the Event's Safety?

A shooting following the 2012 Stars & Stripes Festival fireworks Friday in Mount Clemens has some Patch readers vowing never to return to the event, while others say the event is still safe.

Despite Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham's assurance that "it's still safe to come downtown" following Friday's shooting at the Stars & Stripes Festival, some Macomb Patch readers say they're not so sure. As thousands of people left the annual fireworks display around 10:35 p.m. Friday, an 18-year-old Warren man shot a 19-year-old Detroit man in the leg on Market Street, Wickersham said Saturday. The fight is believed to have started over a pair of Cartier sunglasses. "There was a confrontation between two males," Wickersham said. "The suspect took the (sun)glasses off the head of the victim." When the victim went to get his Cartier sunglasses back, the suspect "pulls out a gun and shoots him in the leg," he said. The suspect then …

Caldwell and charged him with murder and attempted murder. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-06-24-detroit-…   more ›
