Three of the people shot, identified as a 25-year-old man, a 25-year-old woman and a 24-year-old woman, were privately taken to a hospital, she said. They were listed in stable condition late Friday.
Police did not know for whom the vigil was held.
Detroit firefighters surprised to find baby while searching house in fire
When Detroit firefighters reached a burning home early one morning last week on the city s east side, they found several adults standing outside asking them to save the dogs inside.
None mentioned an 18-month-old girl that fire crews found and rescued inside, said Detroit Deputy Fire Commissioner Dave Fornell.
The firefighters were totally dumbfounded, he said. It is extremely unusual that when we pulled up the family never mentioned there was a child in the building.
The baby now is safe, but the incident has triggered a Detroit police investigation, Officer Holly Lance, a spokeswoman for the city Police Department, said Friday.
