Two teenagers injured in illegal street party shooting in Detroit
Two teenagers were injured during a shooting at a weekend gathering that Detroit Police called "an illegal street party."
The shooting was reported at about 12:09 a.m. Sunday in the 15700 block of Coyle Street. Someone fired a weapon in the area, striking and injuring two teenage females, police said.
One of the teens was taken by ambulance to a local hospital; the other was taken by private vehicle to a hospital.
Police describe the injuries as "non-life-threatening," and say the incident is still under investigation.
Officers ask that anyone with information on the shooting contact the Detroit Police Department's 2nd Precinct at 313-596-5240 or CrimeStoppers at 1800-Speak-Up.
Detroit's call for an application filed to city hall should a block or a portion of a street be closed for a day, with the party hours limited to 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Hosts and property owners where illegal block parties take place are subject to city code violations of disturbing the peace or disorderly conduct.
