The top stories to know about
21-year-old man charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting coworker at Troy hospital
Over the weekend, a 21-year-old man from Macomb Township was arraigned on charges related to the shooting at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital from last week.
Robert Paljusevic was arraigned Sunday on charges of Assault with Intent to Murder, plus two illegal firearms charges. Bond was denied for Paljusevic, who has another court appearance at the end of the month. He will be held in Oakland County Jail until then.
The Troy detective working leading this case told the judge that Paljusevic was upset when he was not invited to the victim's father's funeral, urinating on the funeral brochure. The mother of the victim called Paljusevic "highly possessive" of his friend.
Troy police say he ambushed the 25-year-old victim in the parking garage of the hospital, firing five shots, striking the victim in the arm. The weapon used by Paljusevic, along with his cell phone, have not been recovered by police.
The shooting happened at 7:08 a.m. and sent the hospital into a lockdown as multiple law enforcement agencies converged onto the hospital's campus, searching for an active shooter.
But investigators say Paljusevic had fled the scene.
It's unclear if he went straight to his family's home in Macomb Township, but that's where he was found about two and a half hours after the shooting.

Roar Brewing Company, Detroit's first Black-owned brewery, opening in Midtown
Detroit’s first Black-owned brewery opened over the weekend. It is called Roar Brewing Company.
“We love the Lions, we love the Tigers and then we know the Pistons with the engine roar, so we’re like what are these things that can kind of come together, and that's why we chose roar. When Hockeytown, when the Red Wings score, the whole crowd roars, so we're like that could be really fun and we wanted to roar with pride,” said Evan Fay, owner of Roar Brewing Co., which opens Sunday.
The U.S. Air Force veteran also owns Cafe Noir and the Chloe Monroe Galleries on John R. Street in Detroit.
“I found a love for craft beer when I was in the military traveling. In Alaska, same thing. Even when I traveled to different locations, I would go to the brewery, I would go to the cafe and the brewery, so I opened a cafe and a brewery,” Fay said.
Fay says Roar Brewing will be the first Black-owned brewery in the city of Detroit.
“We contacted some historians at Wayne State and then talked to the National Black Brewers Association,” he said. “Detroit has a really proud, long history, to make sure that was something we could say but yeah, there hasn’t been a brick-and-mortar Black-owned brewery here in the city.
Roar Brewing will be taking the place of Nain Rouge Brewery, which sits on Selden Street.
“There are a couple of breweries in Detroit, what makes Roar different from them?” 7 News Detroit reporter Tiarra Braddock asked.
“We want to be accessible. We want to do tours, so come and get you some samples. If you want to learn about the brewing space and craft, we want to do that too and help provide that information,” Fay said.
