The attorney representing the family of a Detroit teenager who was shot and killed while apparently seeking help after a car accident says the girl was injured and may have wandered a Dearborn Heights neighborhood for as long as an hour before arriving on the porch of the man who shot her.
“If he was in fear for his safety he could have called 911,” said Gerald Thurswell. “He decided to open the door, go out on the porch and put a shotgun in her face…It’s pretty hard for it to be an accident: your finger is on the trigger and the shotgun is in her face.”
