The shooting took place at the Troester-Hayes Market  near 7 Mile Road says Detroit Police Chief James Craig.

"Two individuals were sitting in a car - two other individuals were seated on the hood of the vehicle when two young males came up - both armed with guns and both opened fire on the vehicle," said Craig.

A man and a woman in the car were killed and the two people on the hood of the car were injured when the car lurched forward and crashed into a building across the street.

The suspects are still at large. Police are investigating the possibility that the shootings are gang related.
