Facebook note draws killer to a 'Sweet Sixteen' party

A party announcment on Facebook about an innocnet sweet 16 party in Ferndale could have lured uninvited guests. Police responded to a 911 call arrived to see people running from the party site.

Ferndale officers said they responded to 911 calls shortly after midnight and found about 200 people running from VFW hall, yelling that somebody was inside firing shots.

Police said the party was thrown by two mothers for their 16 year old daughters. But not all who turned up had been invited. Police believe this resulted of members of two gangs squaring off. Happened at VFW hall at 177.

Police have not yet made an arrest, nor have they identified the victims except to say that both were boys, 16, one from Detroit and the other from Royal Oak Township. Investigators think the uninvited people may have learned of the party because of an innocent announcement in the popular social networking website.
