Two people are dead and another seven were injured during a shooting at a barber shop on Detroits east side tonight.
It happened at Rockies barber shop in the 5200 block of East Seven Mile around 6 p.m., officials said.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig said all of the victims are male, but no ages or names have been released. Police previously said there were three fatalities but changed that to two just before 8 p.m.
Police are looking for at least two suspects and two cars, a black Chevrolet Impala and a white Chevrolet Impala, that may have bullet holes in the back, and have a stretch of the road closed off near the scene.

If you don't read the newspaper, you're uninformed. If you read the newspaper, you're mis-informed.

Responsive leaders prefer knowledge and information to be spread as widely as possible among the population, because an informed public is necessary to govern effectively, independent thought produces original ideas and is the key factor by which we progress as a society. When independent thought is stifled society is and will remain stagnant until it is free to flourish once again.

This story can be any day of the year in various localities around the nation.
Tolerance of the products involved is unacceptable.
Stop tolerating them.
