1 dead, 9 injured during shooting at Detroit block party

Published May 03, 2016

One person has died and nine other injured when someone opened fire at a neighborhood block party in Detroit Saturday night.

Asst. Police Chief Steve Dolunt said a 20-year-old man was killed. He hasn’t been identified.

Another man was critically injured and eight others, five men and three women, were listed as seriously injured. The victims ranged in age from 21 to 46, Dolunt said.

Dolunt said the shooting happened at a neighborhood party that included a barbecue attended by families with some small children in strollers.

"Through the grace of God no children were shot," he said.

Authorities suspect the dead man was targeted by the shooter, although Dolunt said that was preliminary.

No other information was immediately available.
