1 teen dead, 1 hospitalized in drive-by shooting on Detroit's west side

The shooting happened on Monday morning near a home in the 9000 block of Littlefield Street.

We're told that both teens — one who police say was 14 or 15 and one who is 16 or 17 — were transported to the hospital. The younger teen died, and the older teen is currently in critical condition at the hospital.

The relation between the two victims is unknown at this time, as investigators say the teens were walking back from a local store before getting into an argument with someone in a blue SUV. We're told that 28 to 30 shots were fired after that argument.

"I am extremely disappointed," Bettison said. "(I'm) upset with the fact that somebody would run down these young people."
