Today's show is shorter than most, but I figured with the topic we needed to cover the main thing and then a couple quick things around town.

The shooting that has as of this recording left three teenagers dead, 8 wounded (including a teacher) has rocked Southeast Michigan.

And when the alleged shooter is 15 years old? Oof.

But here are the details we know as of 8 p.m. on Tuesday night.

We'll have different angles going forward, but I thought I'd focus on this and not put too much next to it.

Also, I hit on a couple quick stories around town before I let you go.

Today's show is a quick, but busy one.

We start with three stories around town as the State Fair Transit Center was approved by Detroit City Council; COVID cases are up and the Defense Department is sending help; and Jefferson Chalmers was declared a flood plain by FEMA.

Then Shianne Nocerini shares some of her favorite picks for holiday shopping. We'll do a special edition of the newsletter next week with these picks and more.

And finally, we try some Christmas Tree ice cream.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. No show tomorrow. We're thankful for you, our listeners and our members at http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit
