DETROIT – Police said six people were shot when a suspect opened fire into a crowd of at least 100 at a candlelight vigil on Detroit’s west side.
The crowd had gathered on Sunday night to hold a candlelight vigil for a man who was killed in a hit-and-run while riding an all-terrain vehicle.
The shooting happened at around 10 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. Sunday night in the area of Asbury Park and McNichols Road in Detroit.
Police said a man pulled up to the scene in a lime green Chevrolet Camaro and opened fire into the crowd. Six people were transported to Sinai Grace Hospital and five of them are in serious condition. One victim is in critical condition, according to police.
