Shooting leaves 1 dead in Detroit at popular tailgating location after Lions
game, police say
DETROIT (AP) --- One person died and another was critically injured in a
shooting at a popular Detroit Lions tailgating location after the team's game,
police said.
A fight broke out around 4:30 p.m. Sunday in Eastern Market, a destination for
Detroit fans, police Chief James White said. The Lions lost to the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon.
The fight escalated when one person pulled out a gun and fired at least two
rounds. Police officers already in the area responded to the shooting, arrested
the suspected shooter and recovered two handguns, White said.
"Tailgating, drinking and guns, they don't mix," White told reporters Sunday.
He described the person killed as a Detroit man in his 40s and the injured
person was another Detroit man in his 20s.
Charges were pending for the suspected shooter, a man from suburban Oak Park.
