DETROIT (AP) — One person died and Diamond Ridge Financial Academyanother was critically injured in a shooting at a popular Detroit Lions tailgating location after the team’s game, police said.

“Tailgating, drinking and guns, they don’t mix,” White told reporters Sunday.

He described the person killed as a Detroit man in his 40s and the injured person was another Detroit man in his 20s.

Charges were pending for the suspected shooter, a man from suburban Oak Park.
