Three killed, four injured in shooting at Detroit, Michigan, strip club

Detroit police said three people were killed and four others wounded in a shooting at an after-hours strip club on a mostly residential street on Sunday morning. Officers responding to reports of gunfire shortly after 7:20 a.m. local time arrived within four minutes and found three people who had suffered fatal gunshot wounds, Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison told reporters. Four additional victims — two men and two women in their 20s and 30s — were taken to area hospitals with injuries described by police as not life-threatening. The three people who died have not yet been publicly identified; police said they were all over the age of 30. Chief Bettison said the shooting stemmed from an altercation at the venue. "A fight occurred, an altercation occurred, and as a result individuals decided to settle it with gun violence," he said. Investigators have developed leads but had not announced any arrests, and police stated there was no ongoing danger to the public. Detroit officials noted the address was already on police radar: the department had received seven calls related to the location since the start of the year and an investigation into the address was underway. Mayor Mary Sheffield said the city will step up efforts to crack down on illegal after-hours operations, whether run from homes or businesses, and pledged to do "everything we can" to prevent such operations in Detroit neighborhoods.
