DETROIT (FOX 2) - Gunfire broke out in the early afternoon inside a quiet Detroit neighborhood Tuesday, leaving two people with serious injuries.
Neighbors say it's a peaceful street. But around 4 p.m. on Mackay between Eight Mile and Outer Drive in Detroit, the sound of commotion turned into something more dangerous.
"I heard somebody screaming as well, screaming at the person like they were arguing,' said one neighbor. "I was home when it happened. I was in my backyard cutting tree limbs down and I heard the gun shots."
The victims, both men in their 40s, were privately taken to area hospitals. One victim is in critical condition while the other victim is stable.
"Thank goodness we were able to make it here in time," said Capt. Jevon Johnson of the 11th Precinct. "For the second victim who’s actually in stable condition right now, we were able to convey him to the hospital, so he could get medical treatment."

It's unclear if the victims live in the area. There are no suspects in custody as of Tuesday evening.
A previous version of this story reported that one of the victims had died. It's been updated to reflect the change.
