And welcome to Fox 2 News at 6. I'm Dave Kinchin. We begin tonight with
breaking news out of Detroit's East Side.
Police investigating a stabbing there. Fox 2's
Camille Amiri is live with the latest. Camille.
Yeah, this is a really scary story, Dave.
Police are back out here on the scene.
Let's take a look at some video and let's talk about what we know.
So two employees stabbed here at the dollar store, the Family Dollar
here on East Jefferson and Pennsylvania on Detroit's west side.
Police say it happened around 2:12 this afternoon.
The two employees somehow got into some kind
of altercation with the suspect. They say the suspect shot
The two, I mean, excuse me, stabbed the two employees
and then there was some sort of injury towards the suspect.
So that person was also injured.
The two employees are in stable condition at an area hospital.
I do not have a condition on that suspect, but again, minor injuries.
Police right now looking at surveillance video
and of course talking to witnesses and trying to figure out exactly.
How and why this happened. We have been talking to people out here
in on the scene customers not wanting to talk on camera
but really just freaked out about the whole thing.
Obviously the store is closed.
It has been closed ever since this happened.
There were Family Dollar people employees here on scene
and they declined refused and declined to talk to us.
So that's what we know right now.
Two employees stabbed and then that suspect.
In custody, and of course, we'll stay on top of this story
and bring you the latest as soon as we get it.
Reporting live from Detroit's east side, Camille Amiri, Fox 2 News.
Hey Camille, is there any indication
that this is a green light district part of that city program at all?
Yeah, there's actually a green light right next door.
There's an Amoco gas station, so that's right next door.
But again, I don't know if the suspect even got very far.
I mean, they were arrested,
and I don't know if they were stayed on the scene.
I mean, it's really unclear.
Police not giving us a lot of information.
But, of course, right now,
no danger to the public because that suspect is in police custody.
All right.
Thank you so much, Fox News.
Camille Amiri reporting live tonight.
