A 64-year-old panhandler was shot in an unprovoked attack, and Detroit police say he wasn’t the only panhandler being threatened. It happened Sunday around 5 p.m. on the side of the road near 8 Mile and Southfield Freeway. The victim, Clayton Willis, is a double amputee in a wheelchair. He survived the attack and is already back out on the street. Most days, he sits along the road at a stoplight off of 8 Mile getting by on the kindness of others.
