Police responded around 12:30 a.m. early Monday morning to shots fired at the corner of Woodward Avenue and John R., just a block away from Grand Circus Park.
The Detroit Police Department says two men were taken into custody. One person was shot, but they are in stable condition and are expected to make a full recovery.
