DETROIT – A barricaded gunman situation at a Detroit home ended early Friday morning after the suspect turned himself in to police, officials said.
A man, said to be in his 50s, was barricaded inside a Detroit home on Spokane Avenue, near Joy Road and Livernois, for about two hours following a shooting in the area Friday morning. According to Detroit police, a dispute between two neighbors escalated when one neighbor pulled out and fired an AK-47 assault rifle.
The other neighbor involved in the dispute was struck by one bullet. He was reportedly taken to the hospital and listed in temporary serious condition.
Officials say the suspect fired several rounds from the AK-47, which littered the street of Spokane. You can see footage from the scene in the video player above.
