News Break: 7 Yr Old Shot by Detroit Police was Asleep


The news has been abuzz about the recent death of a 7 year old named Aiyana Jones who was shot and killed by Detroit police who burst in the home looking for a homicide suspect over the weekend. The father of Aiyana says that his daughter was innocently sleeping and recounts the tragic ordeal:

"I'll never be the same. That's my only daughter,"

"I saw them (police) running with my daughter out of the house. They had my mother on the floor, and they just kept me there for like two hours," Jones told The Detroit News. "I knew it was bad, and they probably had my baby at the hospital, because someone asked me if she had any allergies.

"Her blood was everywhere and I was trying to stay calm, but nobody would talk to me. None of them even tried to console me."

So sad. For those who want to give condolences to the family via Facebook go here.
