DETROIT (AP) — A second person has died after a shooting at a popular tailgating site following a Detroit Lions game. Detroit police provided an update Monday. A fight broke out late Sunday afternoon at Eastern Market, an open-air gathering spot. The Lions had just lost to Tampa Bay nearby at Ford Field, 20-16. Police Chief James White says tailgating, drinking and guns “don’t mix.” The victims were described as Detroit men, one in his 40s and another in his 20s. A suspect from Oak Park was in custody.
