Gunfire from rented Lamborghini during wedding procession in Dearborn leads to arrest
A wedding celebration shifted from festive to dangerous when shots were fired from a purple Lamborghini Huracán on the evening of Sunday, June 1.
The celebration involved a procession of honking vehicles that stretched from Canton to Dearborn.
Dashcam footage captured the moment someone fired a handgun out the passenger-side window of the luxury sports car near Ford and Evergreen roads, prompting an investigation by Dearborn police.
Officers tracked the festivities to a banquet hall in Dearborn Heights, according to Dearborn police. The rented Lamborghini was impounded, and an anonymous tip later led to the arrest of a person of interest now facing a charge of reckless discharge of a firearm.
'We want the community to know that we are not going to tolerate reckless or dangerous behavior in the name of celebration,' Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin said in a statement. 'Firing a weapon from a moving vehicle — especially in a crowded area — is not only illegal, it puts lives at risk.'
In a video posted to the department's social media, Shahin showed the impounded Lamborghini and dashcam footage before warning: 'If you rent cars and you drive recklessly anytime in the city, wedding or not, your car will be in the same spot."

Authorities have not released the name of the arrested individual. Police said the investigation remains ongoing.
'Dearborn is a city that welcomes joyful gatherings,' the police chief said. 'But when celebrations turn into public safety threats, we will act swiftly and decisively. Let this be a clear message: If you break the law in our city, we will find you, and we will hold you accountable.'

Oakland Co. sheriff's deputies found loaded weapons at high school graduation in Pontiac
Oakland County sheriff's deputies found multiple fully loaded weapons at a high school graduation in Pontiac on June 3 and believe suspects could have carried out a mass shooting at the event, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said in a news conference Friday, June 6. Deputies "probably prevented a mass shooting," Bouchard said and are still searching for one suspect, Jamarion Hardiman, 20, of Pontiac. Deputies found multiple weapons around the United Wholesale Mortgage sports complex on South Boulevard where the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation was being held. Sheriff's deputies were originally called out after reports of a brawl breaking out, but were told by an individual at the event that rumors of Snapchat threats about a possible shooting were circulating, according to Bouchard. As deputies started to investigate the individuals involved in the fight, they learned they had been seen placing packages under cars at the sports complex's parking lot, and found that those packages were weapons. The weapons found include what Bouchard described as an AR-style pistol and a Glock semi-automatic handgun. Both were loaded with 40-round magazines, Bouchard said. The guns were not registered. "Just those two weapons without changing magazines had 80 rounds of potential firepower shooting into a graduation," Bouchard said. "You can only imagine the outcome of that." One suspect, a 19-year-old Bouchard did not name, is in custody. Another, Hardiman, is still wanted. Neither were graduating students, but had ongoing disputes with others in the school community.
