The shots fired call was soon upgraded to a man down in the street, not moving. Officer’s from the 9th Precinct found one shooting victim on the scene. The wounds were serious enough for an officer on the scene to ask Detroit EMS to “step it up”.
An additional victim was discovered at St Johns Hospital also suffering from a gunshot wound. That victim was privately conveyed to St Johns in a burgundy/red Pontiac.
Detroit Police report that the two men were working on a car when another car described as a silver Dodge Magnum drove up and stopped. A man dressed in all black exited the second vehicle and fired on the two victims with a “chopper”…or assault type weapon.
