DETROIT – A man called Detroit police Friday morning telling authorities he shot his niece because he was “stressed out.”
The shooting happened at about 10:30 a.m. in the 15000 block of Winthrop Street.

Grimes was a caretaker for the suspected shooter's mother who has dementia.
"That was her heart. She'd come every morning to take care of this woman," Grimes' mother, Ora, said.
The suspected shooter is in police custody.
Grimes was engaged to be married in October. She was a mother of two children.
