Teenager killed in shooting on Detroit's east side, police say
Sgt. Daron Zhou with the Detroit Police told CBS News Detroit that the teen was shot on Eastwood Street.
Circumstances surrounding the shooting are unknown, and officials haven't said whether any arrests have been made.
Friday's shooting comes two weeks after a 13-year-old boy was killed and his 13-year-old stepbrother was injured in a shooting in the area of Anglin and East Lantz streets on Detroit's east side.
City officials last month introduced a summer safety plan to curb teen violence. The effort included increasing fines for parents whose children break curfew, asking the community to notify police of suspicious activity, stopping illegal block parties and authorizing overtime for police officers monitoring and handling late-night calls.

The influence of Edward Abbey's ‘Monkey Wrench Gang' as it turns 50
When he was 16, Zak Podmore and a group of friends in his native Utah made a plan: They would break into the construction site of a shopping mall and pour Karo syrup into the equipment's gas tanks, disabling the machines and stalling the builders for a time. Podmore's career as an adolescent ecoterrorist ended pretty much before it began. 'Of course we got cold feet and turned around, never even trespassed, let alone committed sabotage,' he said. But he was inspired — and remains inspired — by a book he had read a couple of years earlier: Edward Abbey's 'The Monkey Wrench Gang' (1975), a novel about a quartet of outlaws who tear through northern Arizona and southern Utah, evading the authorities while halting development by any means necessary and fantasizing about dynamiting the crudest man-made intrusion on the landscape, the Glen Canyon Dam.

Florida schedules execution for man who killed estranged wife's family, set house on fire
A Florida man convicted of killing his estranged wife's sister and parents before setting their house on fire 35 years ago will be put to death next month, which could extend the Sunshine State's record number of executions to 12. David Pittman, 63, is set to be executed on Sept. 17 under a death warrant signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday. Pittman was convicted in 1991 and sentenced to death on three counts of first-degree murder, as well as arson and grand theft, after the killings that were carried out the year before. Pittman and his wife, Marie, were going through a divorce when he went to the home of her parents, Clarence and Barbara Knowles, in May 1990 and stabbed them and their younger daughter, Bonnie, to death, according to officials. He then lit the Polk County home on fire and stole Bonnie Knowles' car before also setting the vehicle on fire, investigators said. A witness identified Pittman as the man running away from the burning car and a jailhouse informant testified that Pittman had admitted to the stabbing deaths of his wife's family. The Florida Supreme Court will hear an appeal seeking to block the execution, and an appeal will also likely be filed with the U.S. Supreme Court. In 2022, the state Supreme Court denied Pittman's claim that he was intellectually disabled as well as allegations that his death sentence was illegal because he had not received an evidentiary hearing on his disability claim. Pittman is set to be the 12th person put to death in Florida this year, including Kayle Bates and Curtis Windom, who are scheduled for execution later this month. Florida has executed more people this year than any other state, with 9 after an execution in July. Texas and South Carolina are tied for the second-most with four each. Before this year, Florida's previous record for executions in a year since the death penalty was restored in 1976 was eight in 2014.
