Detroit Children Keep Getting Shot This Summer. The Latest Includes 2 Who Were Sleeping in Their Beds.

Fatally Shot: Samir Grubbs, 4, and Rylee Love, 6.

Kids keep getting shot in Detroit this summer.

The latest incident involves two children — an 8-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl — who were sleeping in their beds around 6:20 a.m. Thursday on the second floor of a house in the 7000 block of Arcola on Detroit's east side when they were struck by bullets. One child was shot in the arm, the other in the foot. Both are expected to recover.

Detroit Police Assistant Chief Eric Ewing told reporters at a televised press conference that two black pickup trucks pulled up to the house. A passenger got out of each vehicle and opened fire.

"Again, another heinous act," he said, noting that the mother and father were home and there were other children in the house who were not hurt.

The shooting is not an isolated one.

On Sunday night, 6-year-old Rylee Love was fatally shot inside his home, hit by a stray bullet during an exchange of gunfire on Anglin Street, also on Detroit’s east side.

“It was just one shot. That’s all it took,” the boy’s father, Terrance Neal, told WDIV. “It’s indescribable. When you can’t smell your baby’s breath anymore … when he can’t tell you he loves you. It’s crushing. My world is crushed.”

On June 27, 4-year-old Samir Josiah Grubbs was fatally shot while playing at Skinner Playfield Park on Detroit's east side near Denby High School. An 18-year-old man was also killed, and a 17-year-old male was wounded.

The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said that shooting was in retaliation for an earlier altercation on a bus, during which someone snatched a ski mask off one of the suspects’ heads. Two people have been charged in that case.
