Tuesday turned traumatic for the quiet neighborhood in Redford, Michigan as an alleged shooting incident sent shockwaves through the community.
Witnesses reported a gunshot around 7 p.m. from a house in the 20400 block of Lexington, positioned between Eight Mile and Norfolk Road. A horrified onlooker was driving past the residence when she heard the loud crack of the suspected gunshot. Immediately grasping the gravity of the situation, she reached out to emergency services to report her observations.
The terrifying incident escalated even further as she noticed four to five children fleeing the house, screaming in apparent fear and panic.

The quick-thinking witness who reported the incident and the fleeing children adds a heightened sense of urgency to the investigation.
Local residents spoke of witnessing a flurry of activity around the house following the alleged shooting incident. One of the neighbors shared, “We saw a lot of commotion. It was a car full of people over there, and then we drove in our driveway, and then I called the police. From there police came, and a man started running, and the police were chasing, and they got him.”
Authorities have reportedly apprehended a suspect, while the unfortunate victim of this shocking incident was swiftly transported to a nearby hospital. The identity of the individuals involved, along with further details surrounding the event are not available at this time.
