This is horrendous, and tonight is the first I’ve seen of it. Seems totally random. Sorry if Germans. I haven’t seen the family identified in this or other articles. The township is 90 miles north of Detroit and is 80% white, 10% black.

Perp:




quote:

Authorities said a family was out for a walk in the area when Banks Jr. allegedly struck the family, got out, and began firing shots.

A bystander who tried to intervene was also attacked and suffered serious injuries, according to the Eaton County Sheriff’s Office.

A 3-year-old girl was killed in the shooting, while three adults — the child’s 33-year-old mother, 36-year-old father and a 72-year-old woman who tried to intervene — were hospitalized

Police have reviewed doorbell footage from a neighbor’s home that shows Banks in a gray sedan intentionally driving into the family before getting out with a 12-gauge shotgun and opening fire,

Banks was seen running from the car and taking the shotgun out of a backpack. He then returned to the backpack and reloaded the gun and began firing again.

He also began punching the girl’s parents and grabbed the mother by her hair “and began pulling it as if he was trying to break her neck,

Banks then allegedly hit the 72-year-old woman with a shotgun

Whitmer: “I’m sure they were racist. Why don’t we focus on that?”

quote:

In an interview with police, Banks allegedly admitted he purposefully tried to run over the family, saying he "had to kill someone to save his family."

The day before the shooting, Banks reportedly packed the backpack with ammunition and his father's shotgun in the garage. He then went out on Friday in his father's vehicle.

"He drove around the block in his neighborhood a couple times and saw a family walking down the street," the affidavit states. "Banks Jr. advised that he crashed into the family, intentionally trying to strike the male. Banks Jr. advised that he got out of the vehicle, grabbed the shotgun, and began shooting at the family he just crashed into. He then began beating a male with the shotgun and then an older female who came running towards him. Banks Jr. said he dropped the shotgun and fled on foot."

I’d be very curious to know his social media and search history.

Wow so surprised. So shocked.

It's so rare for unsuspecting, random white people to be the victim of black males.

Surely should just keep ignoring the pattern and labeling these countless incidents as isolated incidents.

Or the nice migrant that tried to wash a woman's hair in the ocean in Florida this week.

We simply can't fully understand what the white patriarchy has done to him. Let's give him the space and time he needs to heal.

They’ll probably classify him as white on the incident report
