One injured, two in custody after shooting at Detroit's Rosa Parks Transit Center, police say

Police are investigating after one person was shot on Wednesday afternoon at the Rosa Parks Transit Center in Detroit.

Two people were taken into custody, according to DPD.

The shooting happened at about 2:30 p.m. Police say the incident stemmed from a fight involving approximately 15 to 20 men. DPD says officers who were stationed at the transit center responded to the altercation.

Police say numerous shots were fired, hitting one of the men. The victim was taken to a hospital for a non-life-threatening injury to his foot. Police say the crowd dispersed, and police arrested two people, identified as the alleged shooter and an accomplice, after reviewing surveillance footage.

"The Rosa Parks Transit Center is a busy area. There wasn't any other guests near the immediate area. We have officers here stationed; it's extremely dangerous for them," said Commander Matthew Fulgenzi. "They're on post, they're doing their job and you have someone out here that's reckless, that produces a firearm involving a dispute and starts firing a gun. We will not tolerate it. We'll take every resource we have, we'll identify the person and hold them accountable."

An investigation is ongoing. Detroit police say they will submit their investigation to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for review.
