When police went into the building, they found three people shot. A male and a female were killed, police said. A third victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

Pritchett said there's no threat to the public.

The homicide task force is investigating, Pritchett said. They're looking for surveillance video near the scene.

"It should be frightening to everyone. No one wants to be in the neighborhood where people are shot. So I just let people know that Detroit Police Department is very capable, we're out here, we are heroes and I'm confident this crime will be solved as well," Pritchett said.

Additional details about the incident were not immediately released.
