Ferndale police confirm with 7 News Detroit that they’re investigating multiple reports of what they’re calling random drive-by BB gun attacks. No one has been injured.
Police say they’re taking these drive-by attacks seriously and are actively searching for the suspects and vehicle involved.
Christopher Hull is one of the victims. He was walking his dog with his roommate near Farrow and Breckenridge streets in Ferndale when they were shot at with a BB gun by a passing vehicle.
Hull’s roommate was shot in the chest and is expected to be OK. Hull and his dog were not hit.
“When you’re walking your dog and everything, just having a stroll and that happens, it’s shocking,” Hull told me.
He described the moment to me when the car pulled up at what he says was a high rate of speed.
“We saw a red vehicle coming toward our direction and we saw in the rear passenger window roll down the window and that’s when they decided to shoot the BB gun toward myself and my dog.” Hull added “It sounded like fire crackers like a pop, pop, pop, pop sound.”
