shooting occurred at a tailgate party following the Detroit Lions game on Sunday, resulting in two fatalities and one suspect in custody, according to Detroit police.

The incident took place on September 15 around 4:30 p.m. at Eastern Market near Ford Field, a popular location where many gathered after watching the Lions play.

Detroit Police Chief James White described the situation at a press conference, stating that the initial confrontation was triggered by an argument at Shed 6 on Riopelle Street, a known spot for fans during home games.

“Tailgating, drinking, and guns don’t mix,” White commented, highlighting the dangers of combining these elements.

The altercation quickly spread, and moments later, the combatants regrouped a short distance from the original fight.

One of the participants, a man from Oak Park, drew a gun and fired at least twice. The individual he was fighting was shot and killed immediately.

Another person, who was also shot, was taken to the hospital but succumbed to their injuries on September 16, according to updates .

Police officers, already present at the stadium and nearby areas, responded swiftly to the situation.

White noted that they were able to hear the gunshots as they happened.

Investigators are now working to determine whether the victims and the suspect knew each other.

Although the identities of those involved have not been released, the suspect, a man in his 30s, is known to have a valid gun license.The Lions lost the game to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 20-16.

The cause of the argument remains unclear, but White pointed out that such violent outbursts are not uncommon at large events, particularly when individuals armed with weapons fail to manage conflicts appropriately.
