Just saw on the news that there was a shooting in a guest room at the Leland Hotel.  No other information has been given yet.  One place I never really expected to hear that from.

Lol, do you know how many people have died at this building?  I'm pretty sure a lot.  Hell the Purple Gang used to own it/do business there.

I'm pretty sure building security is pissed though.

Yet one more reason the country will point and say, See how dangerous Detroit is?"

Completely ignoring the fact that NYC and Chicago have just as much if not more shootings and guns are illegal there.  Lots of good those gun control laws are doing.

Anyway, there were no further issues but they still tightened security a bit anyway.  All in all everyone had a safe fun night at the club, per usual.

I like it when things go well.

I'm glad it went well. I really was surprised at this. I didn't realize there were so many deaths there. Wow.

Well, this is the most recent shooting in memory.  I'm sure I may have missed some things but I don't remember anyone getting shot in my 15+ years of going.  Doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I didn't hear about it.

Still, the building has stood since 1927 and in that time yes, many people died.  Where do you think all the ghost stories originated from?
