Shooting
On November 14, 1996 the Wixom assembly plant was the site of a deadly shooting. A lone gunman, who was not a Ford employee but had dated an employee at the Wixom plant, randomly shot and killed a manager of the factory. According to police, the shooter hid from authorities for several hours by remaining in a series of drain tunnels outside of the plant. Several Ford employees and two Oakland County sheriff deputies were also shot and wounded by the gunman.

Famous quotes containing the word shooting:
“... though it is by no means requisite that the American women should emulate the men in the pursuit of the whale, the felling of the forest, or the shooting of wild turkeys, they might, with advantage, be taught in early youth to excel in the race, to hit a mark, to swim, and in short to use every exercise which could impart vigor to their frames and independence to their minds.”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
“Writing or printing is like shooting with a rifle; you may hit your reader’s mind, or miss it;Mbut talking is like playing at a mark with the pipe of an engine; if it is within reach, and you have time enough, you can’t help hitting it.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
“My time has come.
There are twenty people in my belly,
there is a magnitude of wings,
there are forty eyes shooting like arrows,
and they will all be born.
All be born in the yellow wind.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
