Chapter 3: “Loved his family’: As Amedy goes through surgeries, obituary infuriated Michigan teen shot in face by stepdad freep.com/story/sports/c… via ⁦@freep⁩ ⁦@freepsports⁩

Here is Chapter 2 of our series on Amedy (if you missed part 1, link is inside it). Not to give away a spoiler, but a detective will call her toughest human he's ever met. freep.com/story/sports/c…

We start a five-part series today, penned by @seideljeff, telling the story of Amedy Dewey, about gun violence and how one survivor is going just that some six years later. freep.com/story/sports/c…

@TDavisDMN Give. Him. Free.

My dog got fixed Monday and apparently been scraping his cone against the sidewalk and banging it on trees in the name of freedom. It’s cracked now but I can’t even be mad at him.

@ahammFreePress Should have hit you with a "not gonna work for me, brother" when you told me.

@ahammFreePress @peterbhatia @freepsports That said, the Free Press has come to terms with Andrew Hammond (@ahammFreePress) on his release. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. IYKYK

@ahammFreePress @peterbhatia Andrew's contributions to @freepsports are countless, in print, online and in the audio space. He improved the quality of our work and fit in despite some impossible circumstances. He will be sorely missed.

Wanna join the @freepsports team? Here's your chance.

Hey, if you wanna hear what it was like breaking into the business, and how everyday feels like an initiation all over again, give this pod a listen. The folks at @workinsports are doing cool work, trying to prepare tomorrow's journalists for the bumpy road ahead.

@TDavisDMN @freepsports No, thank you @TDavisDMN. It has been your leadership that helped this entire newsroom excel on many different fronts (except maybe the softball win column). May your Cubs, Bears, Bulls and Salukies fare well (don't tell 15-year-old me I said that). Except against certain teams.

Appreciate @HiKirkHere’s supportive, understanding & incredibly knowledgeable leadership for @freepsports. Now you don’t have to field hour-long calls (from me) cycling from subs story ideas to debating if Cade is a true No. 1 on a title team anymore😂learned a ton from you, KC!

New handle alert: I’m now (at)TDavisDMN. After 2.5 great years with the award-winning @freep and @freepsports, I’ve accepted a job with the illustrious @dallasnews. I’m actually in north Texas now looking at cribs. Excited, but will miss the hell outta Detroit and its metro area.

WELCOME COACH. Warrior fans, please give it up for the 20th head coach in #WarriorFB history, Tyrone Wheatley! FULL RELEASE➡️bit.ly/3HwaD9I #ThisIsOurDetroit

Contributed way more to @freepsports than almost anyone knows. A budding star of the industry. She will be sorely missed. Wishing her good luck for her future.

@MEHtheNurseTwin @theford Oh shoot. My bad Meg. I'm just now seeing this. I thought Twitter might have burned down by now. My apologies.

I am seriously lamenting the fact that @theford has to go into the office for work today. Tonight is night 3 of 3, and I am so tired already. I am legit worried about how I’ll get out the door on time w/o him there to help me. 😬 @HiKirkHere, have mercy & help a lady out here…

@meh0218 Hey there. No, I haven't talked to him since yesterday morning. Have you reached him yet?

🗳The 2022 Michigan primary election is today. Polls are now open and will be open until 8 p.m. Here's your guide to what to know before heading to polls. bit.ly/3BNwXth

I was one of the highest-paid high school draftees in MLB history at $5,500,000. ⚾ I signed at 18, big-league debut at 20, and was hanging on to my career by 25. Here are 10 things you don’t hear about the draft, signing for millions, and professional sports. THREAD 🧵

I wrote about this a couple times when I was with @freep. Kinda stunned rules haven't been adjusted in 15 years.

Hanging out with the best high school student-athletes in metro Detroit at the #detroithssa awards at the Fillmore. Check out the winners on freep.com later tonight.
