Hazelwood massacre

• ... that the 1971 Hazelwood massacre was the largest mass murder in the history of Murder City? Source: Sources 9 and 10 confirm that it was the largest mass murder in Detroit history -- and remained such at least as of 2001. It appears to still be today, but to assure accuracy, use of the past tense avoids making any claim as to being a "current" record. Sources 11-13 confirm that Detroit in the 1970s was known as "Murder City"

Overall: All that needs to be done for me to pass is that you add a ref for Police described Gardner and another individual, Gerald Williams, as mid-level Detroit heroin dealers. (as part of a rule that states a ref must be at the end of each paragraph). Besides that, everything appears good. BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:38, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
