A Shooting at Flip Murray's House

April 18, 2007 1:05 PM

I first learned about his from Detroit Bad Boys, and now Mike Martindale the Detroit News is all over the story, which reportedly took place Monday night:

Murray, 27, told police he was returning to his home, in the 1000 block of Lorenzo, about 1:30 a.m. Monday after being at a Detroit nightclub. Murray left the front door to his home open for a 25-year-old woman friend who was following him home in her own vehicle. As the woman walked to the front door she was approached by two men, both wearing masks, and holding handguns.

"She screamed, which brought Murray to the door," said Troy Police Lt. Gerard Scherlinck. "One of the men gestured to Murray to walk toward the door and as he did, Murray slammed the door shut."

Murray retreated to another part of the house and called 911 as three gunshots were heard outside, Scherlinck said. Two gunshots went into the front door and one pierced a window near the door. No one was injured, police said.

Police say the woman involved corroborated Murray's version of events and are looking for help finding the gunmen.
