2 shots fired at Eastern Market in Detroit

Detroit — As thousands of people crowded into Eastern Market on Sunday, a confrontation broke out that left one man dead, a second man in critical condition and a suspect arrested, the city's police chief said.

Detroit Police Chief James White said the incident began around 4:30 a.m. at Shed 6 on Riopelle Street after the Detroit Lions game at nearby Ford Field.

“A large brawl broke out and broke up after a few minutes,” the police chief said during a press conference near the scene. “They gathered a few feet from where the first brawl had started. The two fighters raised their hands as if they were going to fight each other … one of the fighters, an Oak Park man, pulled out a gun and fired at least twice. Two people were hit.”

A man in his 40s, who White said was a Detroit resident, died, while a second victim in his 20s was hospitalized in critical condition, the police chief said.

“The officers did a great job,” White said. “They were on the scene directing traffic from the venue and heard the gunshots. They were able to quickly arrest the shooter.”
