Our local public safety heroes are known for their big hearts – and those hearts recently got a checkup.
Members of the Farmington Hills Police and Fire departments, along with officers from the Farmington Public Safety Department, received cardiac health screening tests as part of the life-saving Hearts for Heroes program.
Created by Dr. Justin Trivax and Dr. Herman Kado, Farmington Hills interventional cardiologists, the Hearts for Heroes program grew from an idea that originated with Trivax’s high school daughters Tessa and Sienna.
The girls learned about a local police officer who suffered a fatal heart attack while on duty and asked their dad to help.
The Farmington Public Safety Department would like to speak to the above-pictured individuals regarding Feb. 24 gunfire outside Zap Zone.
Officers were dispatched to the indoor amusement center near Grand River Avenue and Orchard Lake Road at about 8:20 p.m. in response to numerous 911 calls and found numerous shell casings, albeit no evidence of injured victims.
“Although the investigation is ongoing, it is clear after reviewing the surveillance video at the business that the intended victim of the shooting was targeted,” Director Ted Warthman said at the time. “Detectives are continuing to work with the business reviewing additional surveillance video and collecting evidence.”
Last Wednesday, a group visiting an arcade on Grand River shot up the front door after an altercation with another party. Police are still searching for the suspects.
