Family Seeks Help After Tragic Shooting

Port Huron neighbors are rallying to help a local family after a tragic shooting left a 17-year-old boy dead and his 12- and 13-year-old siblings seriously injured. The father was arrested in connection with last Thursday’s incident. The two surviving children are now in a Detroit hospital, with the boy suffering severe facial injuries and the girl paralyzed from the shoulders down. A GoFundMe page has raised over $20,000 of a $35,000 goal to help cover medical bills, funeral costs, and a new handicap-accessible home for the grieving family.

Blue Water Bridge Eastbound Lane Repairs

Starting today, drivers crossing the Blue Water Bridge eastbound into Canada should expect lane closures. The Michigan Department of Transportation says crews will be repairing the bridge deck to extend its lifespan. One lane will remain open from the toll plaza to mid-span, but vehicles wider than 14 feet won’t be allowed. Westbound traffic into the U.S. won’t be affected. The work is expected to continue through November.
