REDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A Detroit Fire Department medic has been arrested in connection to a suspected road rage shooting that took place Friday morning in Redford Township.
The incident occurred at around 8 a.m. on Beech Daly just south of I-96 in Redford Township on Friday.

As this is an active police investigation the department can offer no further comment at this time.”
