Detroit Police: Gunfire exchanged during pizza delivery

A pizza delivery driver may have exchanged gunfire with suspects who were approaching the car during a delivery on Detroit’s west side, police said.

Many details in the shooting are still unclear, but the incident began at 8 p.m. when a delivery woman, along with a man in the car, arrived to the 8600 block of Kentucky while trying to deliver pizza, said Sgt. Cassandra Lewis, a Detroit Police spokesperson.

But while the two arrived, two men approached the car -- and at some point, shots rang out.

“We think both sides may have exchanged gunfire,” Lewis said. “But we’re still trying to sort all this out.”

By the time the gunfire had ceased, two were non-critically injured: the woman who was delivering the pizza, and one of the suspects who was later found nearby on Indiana Street.

The other suspect who approached the car is still at large. No one involved in the shooting has been identified by police yet.
