ShotSpotter leads to seizure of 3 guns on Detroit's east side

Detroit police seized three weapons Wednesday after Shotspotter detected gunshots on the east side.

Police received an alert from the area of Pinewood and Gratiot after a building was struck by several gunshots.

When officers responded, they found shell casings outside a home, so they waited until a suspect left the home.

They were arrested and guns were recovered.
