DETROIT (WWJ) - Two people are hospitalized after a freeway shooting early Tuesday morning in Detroit.

Michigan State Police were called, at around 1:25 a.m., about shots fired along I-96 near Greenfield.

Police said, victims were located, along with the victims' vehicle., Sinai Grace Hospital — one in temporary serious condition and the other in critical condition.

After speaking with some possible witnesses, investigators determined that the shooting began on Greenfield Road before it continued on the freeway.
