911 dispatchers were told that shots had been fired into a known “drug-house” and that children may be present.

Additional reports state a small dark colored SUV was seen leaving the area following the shooting.

Detroit Fire’s Engine 55, Medic 22 and DEMS Medic 4 were dispatched to the scene. Engine 55 was advised by Central Dispatch that 2 people had been shot at the scene.

Later, an 11th Precinct Scout reported 3 males had been shot and there was at least 1 fatality.
