ROSEVILL, Mich. (WJBK) -
A 16-year-old boy is recovering this week from open heart surgery after he was stabbed int he chest in a Roseville park.
The gazebo at Veterans Memorial Park was a crime scene on Monday but became a rallying point for peace by Tuesday.
Zachary Martin was rushed to the hospital after he was stabbed at the gazebo in the upper chest. Witnesses said Martin and the suspect were arguing when the suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed him.
Roseville police say Martin knew the name of the person who stabbed him, and was able to tell officers before he was taken to the hospital. Police tracked down the 15-year-old and arrested him about 30 minutes after the stabbing.
On Tuesday, family friends and classmates gathered to hold a candlelight vigil and hope for peace.
"Let's just hold our candles up and take a moment to pray for Zach and pray for the end of violence," family friend Alexis Hamilton said.
Most of the people attending the vigil know Martin from school and weren't even there when the stabbing took place.
"I started seeing pray for Zach, pray for Zach so I messaged his girlfriend and I found out what happened," Macayla Williams said.
Police said Martin was in a fight with the other teenager over rumors being spread about his girlfriend.

OAKLAND, Calif. --
A suspect who allegedly shot at an Oakland police sergeant on Saturday night remains at large, police said.

The sergeant was responding to a call at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday when her patrol car was involved in a crash in the 1900 block of 73rd Avenue, police spokeswoman Officer Johnna Watson said.

Shortly after the crash, a male suspect approached the patrol vehicle and fired a round, striking the patrol car, Watson said.

The sergeant wasn't struck by the gunshot, but was taken to a hospital to be treated for the injuries she suffered in the crash. She has since been released, according to Watson.

Watson said police arrested someone for an unrelated crime during their investigation of the shooting, but she didn't elaborate.
