Overview
- Police say the incident began when officers arrested a 19-year-old who had a rifle and then chased a second person who ran; that person was shot and taken to a hospital in critical condition Monday.
- The Detroit Police Department has opened an internal probe and says the officer fired because he feared for public safety, but officials have not released detailed body-camera or forensic information.
- The city enforced a temporary 8 p.m. curfew for minors in the downtown viewing zone, detaining 180 youths and issuing misdemeanor citations while placing them at a reunification center.
- Police report 19 other arrests during the event, 12 for carrying concealed weapons, and say officers detained about eight firearms using metal detectors and screening at access points.
- City leaders say the security measures helped keep the fireworks show largely peaceful, but critics and parents have questioned the late curfew rollout and the process for reuniting detained minors with guardians and called for policy and communication changes pending the probe.
