Fairlane Town Center shooting
The backstory:
The shooting happened July 3 at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn. The chaotic scene played out at the mall, leaving three shot, and two dead after a fight escalated and police were called at 1:25 p.m.
The man that Long shot and killed, Cameron Watkins, had gotten into a fight with, and then shot and killed Keonte Seaborn.
Watkins then shot another person during a struggle, and continued to shoot his gun recklessly in the mall before Long acted.
Long fatally shot Watkins, ending the threat, but did not have a concealed carry permit for his weapon.
Poor judgment’ bringing a gun
Dig deeper:
The judge admonished Long for carrying the gun and told him he has to think before he acts.
Long's attorney said that the shooting was a tragic incident and that he conceded to an error in judgment of carrying a concealed weapon.
