Four more people – two men and two women – were taken in private
cars to area hospitals. None are thought to have
life-threatening injuries.
All the victims are thought to be in their 20s and 30s, Bettison
said.
“A fight occurred, an altercation occurred, and as a result
individuals decided to settle it with gun violence,” he said.
“This address is not new to the Detroit Police Department,” he
said, noting police had seven calls to the location this year.
He said the department had leads but wouldn’t discuss them any
further.
“This was an after-hours location,” he said of the shooting
scene. “Imagine a strip club. … I'll leave it at that.”
Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield urged anyone with information to
contact authorities.
“We know that we need more people to speak up to bring justice
to the situation,” she said at the news conference. “It’s
heartbreaking and our community should not suffer from this type
of violence.”
Earlier Sunday, a shooting broke out at a birthday party at a
park in Macon, Georgia, leaving 12 teens with gunshot wounds,
Bibb County Sheriff David Davis said during a news conference.
Two of the injured were in critical condition, while the others
were stable. There were no immediate arrests, but Davis said
investigators had several persons of interest.
