Detroit police shut down gas station after clerk shoots at customer
The incident happened at a Valero gas station near Conant and E. McNichols Road.
On Tuesday, Assistant Police Chief Franklin Hayes did not provide details on what led up to the shooting, but said the clerk fired a shot from behind the glass. Hayes did not say whether the customer was shot, but said the individual was hurt after shards of glass fell on him.
Hayes said the customer, who did not have a weapon on him, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
"The clerk's life was not in danger in any way, and he was behind the protection of bulletproof glass," Hayes said. "These actions (are) reprehensible, and we're not going to tolerate that."
The clerk was taken into custody.
Meanwhile, Hayes gave a stark warning to stores in the city.
"If this happens again, they will see me, and they will see this group. They will see angry residents," he told reporters. "This is not OK. And anyone that makes the decision to do this, we will shut you down. This is a privilege to own and operate a business here in the city of Detroit, but if you treat the residents like that, there's no place for you."
Hayes said the gas station was part of Project Green Light Detroit, a citywide partnership with multiple gas stations that allowed police to install cameras connected to DPD's headquarters. He said the store will be removed from the program.
The incident is under investigation.

Sherrone Moore suspension timeline: Games Michigan coach has missed in career
Potentially the final chapter of the Michigan football sign-stealing saga came and went on Friday, Aug. 15, when the NCAA handed the Wolverines a long list of punishments. Those punishments included another suspension for coach Sherrone Moore. Moore, who's in his second season as Michigan's head coach after being promoted from offensive coordinator following Jim Harbaugh's exit to coach the NFL's Los Angeles Chargers, is set to miss three more games over the next two years. That's after being suspended in 2023 for a different infraction in the Harbaugh Era at Michigan. REQUIRED READING: What is a show-cause order? Explaining NCAA's Michigan penalties Moore is set to miss two games in 2025, with the NCAA adding an additional one-game suspension for the 2026 season. Those games are to be served against Central Michigan, Nebraska, and Western Michigan. Michigan is certainly more willing for Moore to serve multiple suspensions rather than miss postseason play, although the NCAA said there was substantial enough evidence to warrant a postseason ban. Here's the full timeline of Moore's suspensions since he was hired by Michigan in 2018. Sherrone Moore suspensions timeline Sept. 2, 2023 Moore was suspended for one game in 2023 due to self-imposed penalties, as he missed Michigan's season opener against East Carolina as offensive coordinator. Moore was suspended for the game for a separate recruiting violation unrelated to the sign-stealing scandal that involved communicating with recruits during the COVID-19 dead period. The suspension also led to Harbaugh missing three games, as the Wolverines aimed to get out in front of potential future NCAA sanctions. Harbaugh was eventually given a four-year show-cause penalty and a one-year suspension for the infractions. Sept. 13 and Sept. 20, 2025 Moore will miss two games in 2025 as part of Michigan's self-imposed suspension for his role in the advanced scouting scandal headlined by former staffer Connor Stalions. Moore will coach in Michigan's Week 1 and 2 games against New Mexico and Oklahoma, his alma mater, before missing consecutive games against Central Michigan and Nebraska. The NCAA accepted Michigan's self-imposed suspension, but added an extra game for 2026. Sept. 5, 2026 Moore was handed an additional one-game suspension on Friday, Aug. 15, when the NCAA's committee of infractions handed a series of fines and penalties for the sign-stealing scandal. Moore's one-game suspension will be served in Week 1 of the 2026 season, when Michigan is scheduled to face Western Michigan at home on Sept. 5, 2026. Moore was also handed a two-year show-cause penalty after the investigation.
