After the two men were shot in Ecorse about 5:30 a.m., police said a woman drove the wounded men in the backseat of a vehicle from Ecorse to the River Rouge Police Department in search of help.

Ecorse police are leading the investigation into the deadly shooting.

The twin cities of Ecorse and River Rouge - which depended heavily on tax revenue from the plant - are also hurting, the cities’ mayors said.

Ecorse used to collect up to $6 million in property taxes from the mill - or half its revenue, said Mayor Lamar Indwell, a Democrat.
