Interesting story on Crain's.

"The sound of gunfire has a way of putting things into perspective.


At the end of this video is one of the most true-to-life experiences one can have in Detroit.


We were at Riverfront-Lakewood East Park shooting a video as a companion piece to Tom Henderson's blog about the state of Belle Isle when gunfire rang out. Two shots … pause … then another.


Henderson, a lifelong Detroiter, remained calm, even cracking a joke that someone must be trying to kill a rat.
But he knew better. We all did."

Is gunfire such a common occurrence that its no big deal? I'm in the city everyday but haven't heard any shots fired.
