Five people were injured outside a bar in Detroit after a disagreement over a parking space, police said.
Detroit Police Department Deputy Police Chief Charles Fitzgerald said at a news conference that the fight broke out around 2:45 a.m. Friday at the Chicago Blu’z Bar & Grill.
“Insane, ridiculous,” Fitzgerald said. “Five people shot in a parking space is just stupid to me.”
Police said the fight over the parking space quickly turned violent after a man pulled out a gun and began shooting into the crowd.

Fitzgerald said they are investigating why the bar was open at 2:45 a.m., noting it should have been closed.
“Clearly, that blues club shouldn’t have been open at 2:45 in the morning when they’re still fighting over a parking space,” Fitzgerald said.
