DETROIT (FOX 2) - An innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of bullets died Monday in a triple shooting in Detroit.
Police said a man was bringing groceries inside in the area of Manning Street and Waltham Road when two men arguing began to fight. That led to the men pulling out guns and shooting around 30 shots. At least one of those hit the men bringing in groceries.
"We believe that the suspect went to his vehicle and retrieved a long gun, and then he started opening fire," Detroit Police Deputy Chief Arnold Williams said. "At some point, a resident from the house that he was firing at, they retrieved a weapon and they started firing back at him."
Williams called the situation senseless.
"All this over a verbal argument that led to a physical situation that someone had to get a gun," he said.
There was a second shooting scene is at 19700 block of Waltham, connected to another incident at Hoover on the Detroit-Warren border.
The other two men involved were wounded.
