Mother of slain Dearborn Heights children declines to speak publicly

DETROIT – Faith Harris-Green was expected to speak publicly Wednesday, a week after her four children were found killed inside their Dearborn Heights home. 

However, during a scheduled news conference, staff at Pye Funeral Home said Harris-Green had a "bad night and a worse morning" and was not able to make it Wednesday morning, just hours before a visitation for her children: Chadney Allen, 19, Kara Allen, 17, Koi Green, 5 and Kaliegh Green, 4.

Funeral home staff said Harris-Green is very tankful for all the support from the community during this tragedy. Police said she suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the attack.
