BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (FOX 2) - A local deli in Bloomfield Hills that closed after being shot up during a drive-by shooting over the weekend is back open.

Where the bullet holes were, stickers now cover any evidence of the shooting.

Steve's Deli on Telegraph Road was struck by gunfire after an employee fired multiple rounds from his vehicle into the front of the business, injuring a female cashier in the process. The suspect later died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

The owner of the restaurant told FOX 2 the suspect had worked at the deli for eight years prior to the incident. They also confirmed the suspect had suffered from mental health issues, but they aren't sure of the extent.

The Bloomfield Township Police Department said the shooting happened around 10 a.m. when the 52-year-old suspect drove his vehicle in front of the business and shot at the front entrance.
