Detroit police said the 36-year-old man got into an argument at a party on Saturday, retrieved a gun and opened fire. Four people were shot, and two died. The man turned himself in at a fire station about two hours later, and fire officials called police, but no officers turned up.

Police said in a statement that "due to area patrol units being busy handling high priority runs, no units were dispatched to the location."


Even for Detroit, this exceeds expectations. If there's a bright side to this, I suppose it's that the guy will have a pretty good case to claim remorse for his deeds when he goes to trial.
