Two teens are recovering after being shot in Clinton Township on Easter Sunday, police tell us.

The shooting happened around 8:45 a.m. in the hallway of a home in the 24000 block of Trillium Court.

We're told by family members of the victims and police that a 14-year-old was shot in the ear and a 16-year-old was shot in the leg.

Kids out here fighting, minor kids out here with guns," said Simona Thacker of Mt. Clemens.

Simona Thacker says her two grandsons were the teens who were shot.

I feel like this community need to come together, do better," said Thacker. "People need to be involved in whats going on out here.

7 News Detroit also spoke to Amanda Standberry who's lived in the apartment complex for two years.

This is kind of like the second incident where something has happened back to back and we got three little kids," said Standberry. "I feel like thats not right, thats not safe, the police are right up the road, we need more security around here.

The events that led up to the shooting are still under investigation.

In the first Pistons playoff game since 2019, Detroit fell to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, 123-112.

After the Pistons led by eight to kick off the fourth quarter, the Knicks went on a 21-0 run to go from up eight to down 13 in less than five game minutes (9:14-4:47). New York outscored Detroit, 40-21, in that final quarter.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 34 points. Five New York players finished in double-figures, including Cameron Payne, who came alive in the third and fourth quarter and finished with 14 points, kickstarting the Knicks comeback.

Tobias Harris led the Pistons with 25 points. He was one of three Pistons to score 20 points or more, with Cade Cunningham scoring 21 points off of 8-21 shooting in his first playoff game and Malik Beasley scoring 20 points off the bench.

With this victory, the Knicks take a 1-0 lead in the series, and need just three more wins to advance to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

The chase happened on St. Antoine Street. Officials say the man was initially arrested at 8 a.m. on a gun possession charge. When he was brought to the jail, he allegedly assaulted police at the Detroit Detention Center. Police say after the assault, he was being transferred to DMC for medical clearance when he escaped.

Police tell us it took 40 minutes to re-capture the man, who we're told has an extensive criminal record, including weapons charges. Officials say there is no threat to the public at this time.

We spoke to a witness who saw the chase.

"I looked out my window this morning, and I saw a young guy running from across the street with handcuffs on his hand," said Jamel Hancock, who lives nearby.

Hancock's home is in the general area where police set up a perimeter to capture the escaped suspect.

"It's kind of normal around here in this area," Hancock said. "When somebody running for their life like that, did that mean he didn't want to be in whatever place y'all try to put him in? They should try to help him and see what's really wrong and see why he did run, because there's a reason why he ran like that."

The Detroit Police Department is investigating after two men were shot and killed on the city's west side early Wednesday morning.

This happened after 2 a.m. at a home on Forrer Street.

We're told that four guys were hanging out at the home when an argument with a roommate happened before the shootings. A 32-year-old man who rented that home was taken to the hospital in a personal vehicle, where he later died.

After that initial shooting, the shooting started again, moving out to the front lawn. A 35-year-old man, a brother of the first victim, died in that shooting.

Neighbors in the area tell us they heard 40 shots overnight.

Both brothers have kids; the 35-year-old leaves behind a 10-year-old and a 1-year-old, while the 32-year-old leaves behind a 3-year-old.

The victim's family said this is the third brother they've said goodbye to in the past three years.

Police say three people were detained and are being questioned in connection with the shooting but they are not calling them suspects right now.

As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, the Michigan State Police's Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division (MSP/EMHSD) is holding a voluntary statewide tornado drill on Wednesday.

The drill will take place at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19.

"Last May, four tornadoes hit southwest Michigan in a single day, damaging homes and businesses across four counties," said Capt. Kevin Sweeney, deputy state director of Emergency Management and commander of MSP/EMHSD. "Severe weather can strike fast. Thats why its important to have a plan to protect yourself, your family, home, and pets."

The average lead time for tornadoes to develop is 10-15 minutes, which means everyone needs to act quickly.

Here's important info to know to stay ready:

Know the difference: a tornado WATCH means conditions exist for a tornado to develop; a tornado WARNING means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. Know the signs of an approaching tornado: dark, often greenish sky; large hail; a large, dark, low-lying cloud; and a loud roar, like a freight train. Stay tuned to commercial radio or television broadcasts for news on changing weather conditions or approaching storms. Develop an emergency preparedness kit with essential items such as a three-day water and food supply, a NOAA Weather Radio, important family documents, and items that satisfy unique family needs. Identify a safe place in your home for household members and pets to gather during a tornado. Make sure everyone understands the tornado warning system in your area. Engage with your local emergency manager to find out if they are participating.

More information about staying prepared for incoming tornadoes can be found here.

For the second time in three seasons, the Michigan State football season will conclude it's regular season with a game at Ford Field, the venue announced on Wednesday.

This comes after Michigan State faced off against Penn State at Ford Field to end its 2023 regular season. This is the third time Michigan State will play at Ford Field, with the Spartans facing off against Florida Atlantic in 2010. Michigan State lost that Penn State game, 42-0, and beat Florida Atlantic 13 years earlier, 30-17.

Playing at Ford Field is an exciting opportunity for Spartan football, said MSU Vice President and Director of Athletics Alan Haller via statement on the upcoming game. The 2023 game proved that this can be a successful and enjoyable venture. I heard from fans, donors, students, and media, all of whom universally raved about their experience at Ford Field. We witnessed what the Detroit Lions experience every game, that Ford Field can be a tremendous home field advantage. Our student-athletes dream of playing in the NFL and to have the opportunity to play in that stadium is a thrill for them as well."

At this time, it is unclear what day the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) will move state championship games usually set for that Thanksgiving weekend but based on the release on this venue change, Haller implies that the state championships will still take place that weekend. The dates of those games are to be determined.

We are very thankful for Ford Field and the Detroit Lions, and all their work to host this game. Beyond that, were grateful for our ongoing partnership with the MHSAA and their accommodations in shifting their weekend schedule. Together, were able to provide a great four-day weekend of football in a terrific setting.

Michigan State season ticket holders will get priority order of tickets, and a section will be set aside for Michigan State students. Haller

"We are excited to welcome Michigan State Football back into Ford Field for another Spartan season finale," said Detroit Lions President and CEO, Rod Wood. "Thanksgiving and football have been a staple in Detroit for the past 91 years and this year will be a true celebration of the game at every level. It is an honor to connect all levels of the game by kicking off the weekend with the Lions and featuring the Big Ten and MHSAA State Championships throughout an amazing four days of football.

Seva Detroit announced in a statement posted to Facebook that its closing its doors on Friday, February 28 after service.

The restaurant, which opened in Detroit in 2011, cited financial challenges since the COVID-19 pandemic for the closure, saying in part, "we've reached a point where we can no longer sustain operations."
