A man in his 30s was killed, and the wounded parties, two males and three females, "are expected to be OK," the Detroit Police Department wrote on Twitter. Police said the incident was a drive-by, and after discovering at least 20 shell casings, authorities have speculated that it may have been a "shootout."

The incident occurred at the Chalmers Banquet Hall, and more than 100 people were gathered outside of the building at the time, according to WXYZ.
