DETROIT (WXYZ) — Officials are investigating after one person was killed and three others were injured in a shooting on Monday afternoon, police confirmed to 7 News Detroit.

The shooting happened on Haverhill and Outer Drive on Detroit's east side around 2:30 p.m.

Police said it stemmed from an altercation between a group of people.

The person killed was a male, police said. Two victims were hospitalized in critical condition and another was stable.

A witness told 7 News Detroit they heard a group of 15 men or individuals having an argument. Within seconds, she heard gunshots. She believes there were around 30.

Now, looking at the evidence markers, it fits right in that equation. We counted at least 20 evidence markers.

The witness said she ducked for cover and she called 911.

Another person in the neighborhood told me that just two blocks away, there's Ronald Brown Academy — and the kids had just wrapped up school around that time. So safety measures were put in place, and parents were asked to come and collect the kids in person.

Michigan State Police and Detroit Police Department vehicles were at the scene.

This is an active investigation. 7 News Detroit is working to learn more.
