    Shooting at Eastern Market

    Two people were shot, one killed and another is in critical condition, following a fight in Eastern Market on Sunday evening, Detroit police confirmed.

    The suspect, who has been arrested, is a man from the Oakland County suburb of Oak Park in his 30s and is licensed to carry a gun.

    Many people were gathered at Eastern Market as it is a popular tailgate destination for Detroit Lions fans, particularly during home games. On Sunday, the Lions hosted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 1 p.m.

    Detroit Police Chief James White said a fight between two men escalated at about 4:30 p.m. at one of the buildings known as Shed 6 at the outdoor market. They put up hands in preparation to fight when the suspect pulled out a gun and fired at least two rounds, White said.
