DETROIT — Police say two people are dead and several others wounded following a shooting at a vigil on Detroit’s west side and a vehicle crash afterward.

Authorities told reporters at the scene the shooting took place following a vigil Thursday night and eight people were shot, including one who died. Residents said the vigil was for a recent victim of violence in the neighborhood.

Police say some vehicles sped away and one person died, possibly after being ejected from one of the vehicles during a crash.

Assistant Police Chief Steve Dolunt called the incident “senseless and it’s stupid.”

Two people were taken into custody in the area of the shooting and crash; five others were taken into custody at a hospital.

Police recovered three weapons.
