Three men were killed and four others injured in a shooting early Sunday morning at an after-hours strip club in Detroit, police said. Detroit Police Chief Todd Bettison said officers responded around 7:21 a.m. to the location on a largely residential street and found three men with fatal gunshot wounds. Four other people, two men and two women, were taken to hospitals in private cars with injuries described as not life-threatening. Bettison said the shooting followed a fight or altercation. He said the location had drawn seven police calls in 2026 and that police had leads but had made no arrests public. Mayor Mary Sheffield called the incident heartbreaking and urged witnesses to come forward.
