Detroit Eastern Market Employee Accidentally Shoots Self, 2 Customers

News summary

An employee at Al’s Fresh Fish & Chicken restaurant in Detroit's Eastern Market accidentally shot himself and two customers after mishandling a gun he claimed to have found on the premises. The bullet struck the employee in the hand and passed through a doorway, grazing one customer and injuring another in the forearm. All three individuals sustained non-life-threatening injuries, with one requiring hospitalization. Detroit Police Assistant Chief Charles Fitzgerald described the incident as one of the "craziest, silliest things" he has seen and emphasized the importance of not handling firearms without proper knowledge. The police are investigating how the gun ended up in the restaurant and will submit their findings to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. The affected customers were reportedly just inside the store to make purchases when the accidental shooting occurred.
