Shooting at Eastern Market leaves 2 dead after Lions game

16 September 2024 at 20:17

DETROIT (AP) β€” A second person has died from a shooting at an Eastern MarketΒ  tailgate event after a Detroit Lions game, police said Monday.

A fight broke out around 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Eastern Market, an open-air gathering spot, police Chief James White said.Β Tampa Bay had just defeated the LionsΒ nearby at Ford Field, 20-16.

β€œI don’t know all the details to it, but anytime that somebody loses their life, that’s a tragic thing,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday.

The fight escalated when one person pulled out a gun and fired at least two rounds. Police officers in the area responded to the shooting, arrested the suspected shooter and recovered two handguns, White said.

β€œTailgating, drinking and guns β€” they don’t mix,” White told reporters Sunday.

The victims were described as Detroit men, one in his 40s and another in his 20s. A suspect from Oak Park was in custody.

White said the confrontation began with a larger fight that broke up after a few minutes.

β€œThey reconvened a few feet away from where the initial fight started,” the chief said. β€œThe two fighters put up their hands like they were about to fight each other. … One of the people in the fight, a male from Oak Park, pulls out a gun and fires at least twice.”
