Amber Jo Thomas, the Linden Square Assisted Living Center employee who was shot Thursday morning in the parking lot of the former UAW hall, has died, according to Saline Police.
After 11 a.m. Thursday, Thomas was on a break in the parking lot across the street from the assisted living facility with a 67-year-old Saline-area man, also an employee of Linden Square, when her ex-boyfriend opened fire, according to police. Thomas, a 40-year-old resident of Lenawee County, died Thursday as a result of her injuries. The Saline man was listed in stable condition.
As police descended upon the scene, the suspect fled in a tan Ford Focus. He crashed, head-first, into a vehicle on Ann Arbor Street near Willis Road. A Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy driving to the scene arrived at the crash. Police say the suspect was uncooperative. The deputy shot the suspect with a stun gun and took him into custody. A 38-year-old woman from Jackson was injured in the crash and taken for injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. She was listed in stable condition.
The suspect's name has not yet been released. The case is now being investigated as a homicide.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
