Dispatch Audio: DEMS Medic 17 finds 2 dead in apparent murder-suicide on Detroit’s west side

2 Dead In Possible Murder-Suicide

Detroit’s West Side (9:45AM): Detroit EMS Medic 17 was notified by citizens that a shooting had taken place at the Mobil Gas Station, across from Medic 17’s quarters @ Fenkell & Greenfield.

Upon arrival, DEMS Medic 17 discovered 2 people had been shot and requested a 2nd medic rig to the scene. That request was canceled when Medic 17 notified dispatch that the 2 shooting victims were deceased. DEMS Medic 17 requested DPD to the scene and was given an estimated 5 minute arrival time for scouts.

Moments earlier, DPD was notified of a 911 call stating that someone in the Mobil Gas Station was requesting a unit to the location stating that “someone was trying to kill him and he has a weapon in his pocket, the weapon though can’t be seen.” It’s unknown if the caller is talking about himself or someone else.

DPD is investigating, closing down streets, dealing with large crowds appearing and attempting to sort the situation out. DPD is stating that this was a random shooting by the gunman who, after shooting down another person, committed suicide.

The DPD is still dealing with crowd control issues at the time of this writing.
