Three juvenile suspects are being sought by Detroit police in connection with a non-fatal shooting that took place on Wednesday, 14 October, at 12:40 p.m. in the 6200 block of Brush Street, clickondetroit.com reports.

According to police, the teens were first spotted checking vehicle door handles in the 6000 block of Beaubien Street when a car alarm was triggered. The sound prompted the victim and her husband to go outside and investigate.

One round struck the windshield and entered the passenger compartment, hitting the woman in the chest.
