DETROIT, MI -- A 17-year-old was shot during an attempted robbery in one of several Thursday shootings detailed in police reports released Saturday.

Detroit police routinely release a daily summary of major incidents from two days prior.

The 17-year-old was walking in the area of Rex Avenue and Lappin Street in northeast Detroit around 5:50 a.m. when he was approached by a gunman who pointed his weapon and demanded the teen empty his pockets, the victim told police.

The victim grabbed at the gun and was shot in the hand, according to police. He was temporarily listed in serious condition at the hospital.

The suspect was described as a dark-complexioned black male in his 20s, about 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds with a full beard wearing a black hoodie.

In another Thursday shooting, a 39-year-old man in a home near Linwood on the city's west side heard a knock at his door around 9:50 p.m. and was shot when he went outside, according to the police report.

Police were seeking two suspects in that case, a medium-complexioned black male in his 20s, about 5-foot-6, 120 pounds and a black male, 20s, 6-foot-2, 160 pounds.

And a third person was shot Thursday around 11:50 when the 21-year-old victim ran from two males, one of them armed, in the area of Chalfonte and Fairfield streets, according to police.

He was struck once in the leg and listed in stable condition at the hospital. The suspects were both described as 5-foot-7 black males, one of dark complexion, one light.
