DETROIT (WWJ) -- Detroit Police are on the hunt for a gunman who opened fire inside an east side gas station, critically wounding one person.
According to investigators, the suspect was armed with a long gun when he walked into the business — in the 9100 block of Chalmers, near I-94 — just after 5 a.m. Friday.
The gunman immediately fired shots, police said, striking a 40-year-old man in the body.
The wounded victim was taken by EMS to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition, as of Friday afternoon.
Police said the suspect fled the scene in a dark-collared sedan; possibly a Chevy Malibu. He is described as a male wearing a gray and black hooded jacket.
It's unclear if the victim was targeted, or what the motive might be for this crime.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect, seen in security camera images, or who has any information about the shooting is asked to call the DPD's 9th Precinct at 313-596-5940 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up(1-800-773-2587). As always, all those who call Crime Stoppers will remain 100% anonymous.
