Woman, baby wounded in double shooting on Christmas Eve in Detroit
Christmas Eve shooting wounds woman, baby in Detroit
A woman and baby are hospitalized but stable after someone fired shots into a Detroit home early Christmas Eve, striking them. The shooter is not in custody, but police are currently working to find them.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - A woman and 1-year-old baby are both recovering at a hospital after someone opened fire on an east side Detroit home early Christmas Eve.
Police said a ShotSpotter alert around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday led them to a home in the 19000 block of Binder near Outer Drive and Seven Mile. When officers arrived, they found a house with multiple bullet holes, but no one was inside.
Shortly after, police were called to nearby Concord Street about two shooting victims - a baby who had been shot in the leg and a 24-year-old woman who suffered a gunshot wound to her hand.
Police went to the home and learned that the victims had fled the shooting scene and gone to a family's home on Concord after they were shot.
"The last thing we want on Christmas Eve is a 1-year-old shot. A 1-year-old should be waiting for Christmas to happen, so this is a very sad thing to happen," DPD Deputy Chief Arnold Williams said.
No one is in custody, and an investigation is ongoing.
