Teen sniper says war will end only with their deaths
Los Angeles Times reports a Detroit rioting sniper, a teenage Black male, saying the war won't end until all the whites are killed. He describes looting a liquor store, throwing cocktails at police, and returning to shoot with an M1 carbine. He cites Malcolm X's death, rants about white officers, and notes his mother is dead.
