DETROIT – Police have taken two people into custody Saturday after a shooting occurred inside a moving car on Michigan Avenue.

According to authorities, a man and a woman were in the victim's car, driving down Michigan Avenue, discussing money when the man announced he was robbing the driver. The three became involved in a struggle when the man produced a gun and shot the victim in the leg. The car collided with two other cars on Michigan Avenue during the struggle.
