Two teens are recovering after being shot in Clinton Township on Easter Sunday, police tell us.

The shooting happened around 8:45 a.m. in the hallway of a home in the 24000 block of Trillium Court.

We're told by family members of the victims and police that a 14-year-old was shot in the ear and a 16-year-old was shot in the leg.

Kids out here fighting, minor kids out here with guns," said Simona Thacker of Mt. Clemens.

Simona Thacker says her two grandsons were the teens who were shot.

I feel like this community need to come together, do better," said Thacker. "People need to be involved in whats going on out here.

7 News Detroit also spoke to Amanda Standberry who's lived in the apartment complex for two years.

This is kind of like the second incident where something has happened back to back and we got three little kids," said Standberry. "I feel like thats not right, thats not safe, the police are right up the road, we need more security around here.

The events that led up to the shooting are still under investigation.

In the first Pistons playoff game since 2019, Detroit fell to the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, 123-112.

After the Pistons led by eight to kick off the fourth quarter, the Knicks went on a 21-0 run to go from up eight to down 13 in less than five game minutes (9:14-4:47). New York outscored Detroit, 40-21, in that final quarter.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 34 points. Five New York players finished in double-figures, including Cameron Payne, who came alive in the third and fourth quarter and finished with 14 points, kickstarting the Knicks comeback.

Tobias Harris led the Pistons with 25 points. He was one of three Pistons to score 20 points or more, with Cade Cunningham scoring 21 points off of 8-21 shooting in his first playoff game and Malik Beasley scoring 20 points off the bench.

With this victory, the Knicks take a 1-0 lead in the series, and need just three more wins to advance to the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals.

Game 2 is set to tip-off on Monday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. on TNT. The Pistons return to Detroit for Game 3 and 4, with Game 3 tipping off on Thursday, April 24 at 7 p.m. on TNT. Game 4 will be played on Channel 7, with the game tipping off at 1 p.m. EST.

7 News Detroit reporter Kiara Hay captured video of the man running towards Viewpointe Village Apartments before police were able to take him back into custody.

The chase happened on St. Antoine Street. Officials say the man was initially arrested at 8 a.m. on a gun possession charge. When he was brought to the jail, he allegedly assaulted police at the Detroit Detention Center. Police say after the assault, he was being transferred to DMC for medical clearance when he escaped.

Police tell us it took 40 minutes to re-capture the man, who we're told has an extensive criminal record, including weapons charges. Officials say there is no threat to the public at this time.

We spoke to a witness who saw the chase.

"I looked out my window this morning, and I saw a young guy running from across the street with handcuffs on his hand," said Jamel Hancock, who lives nearby.

Hancock's home is in the general area where police set up a perimeter to capture the escaped suspect.

"It's kind of normal around here in this area," Hancock said. "When somebody running for their life like that, did that mean he didn't want to be in whatever place y'all try to put him in? They should try to help him and see what's really wrong and see why he did run, because there's a reason why he ran like that."
