Ten people were shot, one of whom died, when someone opened fire at a block party on a basketball court in Detroit, police said. One person was killed and nine others wounded on Saturday night when someone opened fire at a neighborhood block party on a basketball court in Detroit, police said.
On Saturday night police were not releasing the identity of the person killed in the shooting. Assistant Chief Steve Dolunt said a 20-year-old man was killed. He was not being identified while relatives were informed.
The Detroit Free Press said one other person was in a critical condition. Another man was critically injured and eight others, five men and three women, were listed as seriously injured. The victims ranged in age from 21 to 46.
Detroit Assistant Police Chief Steve Dolunt said authorities do not know the reason for the shooting. Dolunt said the shooting happened at a neighborhood party that included a barbecue attended by families with some small children in strollers.
No other information was immediately released. “Through the grace of God no children were shot,” he said.
Authorities suspect the dead man had been the shooter’s intended target, although Dolunt said that was preliminary.
