1 shot during fight outside Detroit Meijer store
DETROIT (FOX 2) - A person was shot Tuesday afternoon outside a Meijer store in Detroit.
The shooting happened in front of the grocery store on Eight Mile and Woodward around 11 a.m. Two people got into an altercation when one of them pulled out a gun and shot the other person, said Detroit Police Capt. Donna McCord.
The victim, a man in his 50s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to DPD. The shooter, a man in his 30s, was arrested and there is no threat to the public.
"Our victim was transported to a local hospital where he is expected to recover," McCord said.
The shooting led to a large police presence. The store was on lockdown for about three hours and no one was allowed to enter.
"We locked down the area just to ensure that no one else was in harms way," the captain said.
Detroit police are still investigating what caused the altercation.
The suspect is expected to face charges.
"If you have a misunderstanding, talk it out – don’t shoot it out," Henry Young, who heard the gunshots while waiting for the bus nearby, told FOX 2.
