Victims found, but police still looking for details in Saturday shooting at In & Out store
Police have located the victims in the shooting at the In & Out convenience store in Ypsilanti Township, but police have no other information to release, according to a sheriff’s official.
Derrick Jackson, spokesman for the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, said the office is still looking for the suspect who fired shots at a Chevrolet HHR at about 12:55 p.m. Saturday at the store, 1100 Share Ave. in Ypsilanti Township. Jackson was unable to be reached for further information about the victims or if they suffered any injuries during the shooting.
Police officials said Sunday a light-colored, two-door compact car with black door handles pulled in to the In & Out parking lot, shortly followed by the charcoal-colored Chevrolet HHR. A suspect from the light-colored, compact car fired shots into the HHR and then both vehicles drove away, according to sheriff’s officials.
The HHR was found on Jeffrey Street in a neighborhood without the victims, according to officials. Several bullet holes were found in the vehicle, according to police.
The sheriff’s office is still looking for help from the public in identifying the suspect in the shooting. There was no suspect description given. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office via the confidential tip line at 734-973-7711 or through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.

if someone is shot, but doesn't call police to report the attack, is that someone really considered a victim? Seems like we will hear a lot more about this and the most likely fact that it was not a "random" attack but either an offensive, defensive or retaliatory act. Either way, luckily no one was killed...this time...and hopefully these events have played out whatever the reasoning for the shooting is/was. Be safe and aware of your surroundings...anyone of us could have easily pulled in and parked on the other side of the HHR...and none of them are bullet proof...

Why bother? Sounds like the victims didn't want to be found, which means they won't cooperate or show in court. And I am sure nobody in the area saw or knows anything.

I believe the general public is the victim at this point. Shooting in broad daylight, on the weekend no less, is dangerous for everyone.
