Four people shot at apartment complex on Detroit's east side, police say

Four people were shot, including one person in self-defense, at an apartment complex Monday night on Detroit's east side. The shooting happened at Sheridan Place in the 7500 block of E. Jefferson Avenue. Police said a group was outside having a barbecue, and there was an argument about the volume of the music. Police said the gunman wounded three people in their early 60s and late 70s. One of the people shot was able to tackle the man and bring him to the ground, causing him to drop his gun. Police said a good Samaritan grabbed the gun and shot the suspect in self-defense. All four people are in stable condition. An investigation is ongoing.
