DETROIT A protest prompted by an officer involved shooting is growing in Detroit with larger crowds.
Police officers were involved in the deadly shooting. It happened this afternoon at McNichols and San Juan just west of Livernois. Neighbors and police seem to have very different stories.
Protesters chanted about defunding the police and called officers racist.

According to Detroit Police Chief James Craig, officers were looking for a person involved in a Fouth of July shooting that left five people hurt and three others dead.
Officers say when they found their suspect they were approached by another man. Somehow a fight happened and an officer put that man in some kind of hold. Thats when officers say the man they restrained opened fire.
He began to fire a number of rounds at the officer over his shoulder. As that was happening the officer pushed him away and that is when the additional officers fearing for their lives fired off several rounds striking that suspect.

Some more stuff in the article, I don't remember the site's rules about posting full articles so I refrained -- there's also video links inside, and the police chief should be holding a press conference right about now. Edits because I can't format for crap anymore
