Tina Taylor, a spokeswoman for Sinai Grace hospital said no information was being released about wounded officers and that all details would have to come from Detroit police. Chief Ralph Godbee was expected to release information during a news conference later tonight, said mayoral spokesman Dan Lijana.

Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), the new House Budget Committee chairman, who hopes to persuade his GOP colleagues to adopt some of the dramatic entitlement reforms that he first unveiled two years ago. But House Republicans have yet to embrace Ryan's ideas, instead focusing exclusively on paring back non-security appropriations, longchamp sale which account for only about one-seventh of total federal spending. The resolution on the House floor Monday would instruct Ryan to cut non-defense spending immediately to 2008 levels, a demand that would require slashing 30 percent from most agency budgets over the next seven months. Ryan and other veteran Republicans have called that goal too ambitious.
