Michigan lawmakers appear on alleged hit list of Minnesota shooting suspect and more top stories
Police say two women were injured in a shooting Tuesday afternoon on Detroit's west side.
The shooting happened at about 2 p.m. in the 7000 block of Braile Street. Police Captain Shannon Hampton said the shooting was retaliatory and stemmed from an incident that happened on Monday. Hampton said the suspects drove by and fired shots before fleeing. Police believe an older model blue sedan was involved with two males in the car.
The victims, who are in their 20s, are in stable condition.
"It's a nice area, it's a working-class area. Gun violence is never the answer to anything, so it is isolated for this area," Hampton told reporters.
Hampton said the incident on Monday involved a fight at a park near Telegraph Road and Glendale. Police did not say if the women were the intended targets.
Police said weapons were recovered. It is unknown if they are looking for more weapons.
An investigation is ongoing.

Marysville to rename Oak Street after fallen Officer Osmar Rodarte
In a tearful presentation by the mayor of Marysville, city leaders honored fallen Officer Osmar Rodarte with a proclamation to rename Oak Street after his sacrifice. Fellow officers, city leaders, community members and Rodarte's family poured into City Hall on Tuesday night for a proclamation to forever remember the man who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Mayor Chris Branscum said that Oak Street will be memorialized as Officer Osmar Rodarte Memorial Way. "We will be eternally grateful for his service and sacrifice, and whereas the same is true for his family, who have sacrificed alongside this heroic American," said Renick House, Yuba County supervisor. Rodarte was killed in March in the line of duty during a transnational drug trafficking bust in Olivehurst. He leaves behind his wife and young children. "The pain never goes away. We will forever honor your son, your husband, your father, your grandson," Mayor Branscum said. "I saw your son get his badge pinned on in this room." As the room remembered Rodarte, two more officers were sworn in to the Marysville Police Department. Rodarte's death in the line of duty was the first for the department in a hundred years. "We are all with you. Though Osmar Rodarte is gone, his spirit will live on in our hearts and he will be remembered as a true hero who gave his life on the line of duty," House said. Rodarte's family exchanged handshakes and hugs with city officials as they accepted the proclamation to rename Oak Street. "The City of Marysville wishes to honor and preserve the memory of Officer Rodarte's life, service and sacrifice," Mayor Branscum said. It's unclear exactly when new signage will be put in reflecting the name change, but the city says it will be soon.
