Triple ghetto murder in grand rapids to start a cold, snowy tuesday morning off

“grand rapids, mich. (wood) — police say three people were shot and killed in southeast grand rapids tuesday morning.

“it happened around 7:40 a.m. in a home on Worden street se near kalamazoo avenue se.

[GRA: Part of the original black ghetto of zip code 49507.]

“grand rapids police department chief Eric Winstrom described the people who were killed as 'an adult female and two children,” who appeared to be in their teens. No names or ages were immediately released.

“as of about 8:45 a.m., no one was in custody, according to Winstrom.

“this is the most violent day that I’ve ever seen here, and just devastating, especially the fact that we have two young people that have been killed,” he said.

“the police chief did not immediately have any information about what may have led up to the shooting, but based on preliminary evidence, he said it looked like a “pure homicide.

“(It looks like) these three individuals were all murdered,' Winstrom said. 'clearly, things can change, but that’s what we’ve got so far.

“he said the block was generally peaceful [GRA: Which can be interpreted in a couple ways]. he wasn’t aware that officers had ever responded to that home before, nor was he aware of any prior interaction between law enforcement and the three people who were killed.

“'I think we have three truly innocent victims,' Winstrom said.

[GRA: Well isn't the definition of murder, “taking the life of another person for no reason”?]

“'it’s 'too early to say' if there’s a danger to the public, he said. there was a large police presence in the area as police continued to gather evidence.

[GRA: I'll say it: There's a black nutjob running around out there yet.]

“'fortunately, we have an early 911 caller. we have neighbors, which all seem cooperative,' Winstrom said. 'so we’re trying to put all that together. we actually had a k-9 here very early. obviously, fresh snow on the ground — look for footprints in the snow, things like that. so we have a lot to go with.

“a news 8 crew on scene saw yellow police tape and several grpd cruisers. officers were going door to door, seeking information.”
