New Leads In Roller Rink Mass Shooting: Gangs Behind Violent Attack
WATERFORD (WWJ) -Waterford Township Police say they think they know what was behind last month's shooting at the Rolladium skating rink.
WWJ's Violet Ikonomova reports that police say a conflict between two rival gangs is to blame for the shooting that sent five people to the hospital.
The gangs, known as the Goon Squad and First Infantry, are Pontiac-based.
Police have identified two suspects in the case: they're looking for 17-year-old Cheyenne Ingram and Robert Lee German.
One of the victims shot was an intended target and rival to the shooters, and was shot once before in a similar incident.
Police say people have been afraid to come forward for fear of retaliation -- still, they're urging anyone with information to contact them here or by phone.
