Suspect in fatal shooting at Detroit baby shower run over by victim's son

DETROIT (FOX 2) - After a fatal shooting at a Detroit baby shower that left a woman in her 50s dead this weekend, the suspect traveled to a police precinct to turn herself in.

But according to police, she was run over by the victim's son. Now hospitalized, investigators are trying to piece together how the happy gathering turned violent.

"We’re still looking into that, we're talking to witnesses to find out exactly why the altercation took place," Capt. Donna McCord of the Detroit Police Department said.

The tragic scene unfolded Sunday on Edmore Street. 

It's unclear why the shooting happened and police are still investigating the motive. The suspect shooter, identified as a woman in her 40s, then drove to the department's 9th Precinct to turn herself in.

But as she exited her vehicle, she was struck by the son of the victim. He is also in police custody while the suspect shooter was listed in temporary serious condition.

Much remains unknown about the violent series of events, however, police are certain of one thing: senseless gun violence continues to torment the community.

"Even licensed gun CPL holders - which our shooter was a licensed CPL holder - they have to be responsible with their weapons, if something happens, and you need police assistance, please call us and let us deal with the situation," McCord said. "Don’t take matters into your own hands"
