Ferndale Girls Basketball Coach Shot and Killed

(Crystal A. Proxmire)

This story is still in progress as we await responses from the School District and the Ferndale and Detroit Police.

Reports out today say that Shawn Patrick was shot execution-style by two assailants in masks in front of his home on Milwaukee Street in Detroit, in front of his two teenage children.  Patrick was coach of the Ferndale High school girls basketball team.

More information will be posted as it becomes available.  We are also looking for comments from students, teachers and others who knew Patrick, as well as a picture.  If you are able to help us remember Patrick, please contact Crystal Proxmire at editor@ferndale115.com.
