A fan was shot dead at a tailgate party Sunday after the Detroit Lions’ Week 2 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Two men got into a heated argument at Eastern Market in Detroit, Mich. shortly after the Lions’ 20-16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The pair reportedly looked ready to exchange blows when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim. The suspect was immediately taken into police custody.
The suspect fired at least two rounds, according to Detroit Police Chief James White. The victim was a Detroit man in his 40s. Another man in his 20s was also shot and brought to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
“Tailgating, drinking, and guns. They don’t mix,” Detroit Police Chief James White said, via Andrea May Sahouri and Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press.
