Flint, MI \u2013 Authorities in Flint have confirmed that a weekend shooting spree resulted in two fatalities and at least seven critically injured individuals, according to reports from Monday, July 28, 2025. The incidents occurred across four separate shooting scenes in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 27. This official confirmation follows concerns raised by independent journalist Dave Bondy regarding the transparency of information from the Flint Police Department.
The confirmed figures contradict a social media post by Dave Bondy on July 30, 2025, who stated, > "It\u2019s been three days and we still don\u2019t know how many people were shot in Flint Michigan over the weekend. The police department has yet to give an answer to that question. I am hearing anywhere between 12 to 18." Bondy, a former mainstream media anchor now operating as an independent journalist, often focuses on delivering news without traditional narratives.
The Flint City Council has reportedly postponed accepting police training funds from the state of Michigan, with one council member indicating a reluctance to proceed until Police Chief Terence Green addresses the council regarding the recent gun violence outbreak. The confirmed victims include a 45-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man who were killed in the series of events.
The Flint Police Department had scheduled a press conference for Monday, July 28, to address the violent incidents. While the specific details of this press conference\u2019s outcome are not fully available, the reported figures from July 29 indicate that information regarding the casualties was released. The discrepancy highlights the challenges in real-time information dissemination and public perception.
Investigations into the multiple shooting incidents are ongoing. The police department has not yet released further details regarding potential suspects or motives behind the widespread violence. Community leaders and residents are awaiting more comprehensive updates on the situation and measures to address the city\u2019s ongoing struggle with gun violence.
