THE home of the founders of US left-wing media collective Means TV was shot up in a drive by shooting on Saturday afternoon by an unknown assailant.

Naomi Burton and Nick Hayes working in their Detroit home in the afternoon when a car pulled up in front of their house and began shooting through the windows.

Mr Hayes wrote about the attack in a Twitter post this evening, saying the first shots narrowly missed Ms Burton.

“Naomi hit the deck and crawled to the kitchen, once the shooting stopped we both ran upstairs and hid. We had no phone to call for help, so I went back downstairs, keeping my head down, to try and grab a phone.”

Upon going back downstairs, Mr Hayes says he heard the car pull up again. He hit the deck right before they blasted off another 10 or 20 rounds right where he was standing, smashing all the windows and filling the door with holes, he says.

“After the car sped off, I was able to get back to Naomi and make sure neither of us had been hit.

“We waited 10 minutes for help to arrive, terrified the shooter would come back a third time.

“This experience was terrifying and deeply upsetting.”

Means TV was founded in 2017 after the couple began reading Marx with the aim of providing high-quality storytelling and production resources to the left.
