Two suspected
inDetroit
shooting spree
DETROIT (UPI) - Detroit police
said they are seeking warrants against
two suspects in connection with a Wed-
nesday night shooting spree which
killed an eight-year-old and left two
men injured.
Sgt. Daniel Carr said the two suspects
were not in custody as of late yesterday
afternoon..
THE SHOOTING occurred Wgd-
nesday evening at a busy northwest
side intersection.
Dozens of others narrowly escaped
the bullets as the gunman fireq round
after round into a crowd outside a party
store.
Witnesses told police; the gunman
drove up to the intersection in a blue
car, jumped out with the gun in his hand
and, began spraying bullets in a semi-
circular motion. He continued firing for }
about two minutes.
Killed in the attack was Pamela Sue
Graves, 8, who had two head wounds.
"PAMELA WAS standing in front of a
party store, minding her own
business," said Inspector Gilbert Hill,
head of the Detroit police homicide sec-
tion. y
Carr said the attack may have been
connected with an alleged robbery in-
cident earlier in the day, however, he,
refused to discuss the details.
Witnesses told police the gunman
escaped in his car while two suspected
accomplices drove away in a second
car. The accomplices also were being
sought yesterday.
THE TWO men who were injured in
the attack were identified as Quinton
Harding, 28, and Joseph Smith, 24.
Harding was treated for chest wounds
and Smith for a hand wound-at Detroit
Osteopathic Hospital.
Leroy Fuller, a district circulation
manager for the Detroit News, wit-
nessed the attack along with three
newspaper delivery boys.
"I saw two men pull up across the
street in a light blue car and one got out
carrying what looked like a carbine,"
said Fuller, 39. "He began firing in all
directions . . . at people, houses, store
windows, passing cars ... anything
and everything. I'd estimate he got off
more than 20 rounds,"
Fuller said one of the bullets smashed
through the window of his newspaper
station, "missing me by less than a foot
and striking my desk. I dived to the
floor, along with three carriers who
,were standing near me. I shouted to
them to hit the deck and they did.
Luckily, none of us was hit."
At least one of the bullets also struck
a truck parked nearby where Fuller's
wife and two small children and two
other young newspaper carriers were
waiting for him. Later, he learned the
bullet tore through the rear window and
exited through the right door window,
missing his family by inches.
