DETROIT (FOX 2) – A juvenile was hospitalized after being shot by police during an incident on Friday night.

Detroit police struck the individual twice after he appeared to pull a firearm out after ignoring commands to stop walking.

It happened in the area of Seven Mile and Forrer Street just after 11 p.m., according to the deputy chief.

After observing a group of young men walking down the street, they stopped to investigate a possible curfew violation, Jacqueline Pritchett said. All subjects except for one stopped walking.

“As he was walking down the street, officers saw him fidgeting with his pants,” she said. “They thought they saw a firearm.”

As the individual entered an alley, he appeared to pull out a firearm, leading the pursuing officer to fear for his life and fire two shots.

He struck the individual in the wrist and leg area before being taken to the hospital. His injuries were not life-threatening.

The individual does not have a criminal history. 

An AK-47-style weapon was recovered from the scene and placed into evidence, Pritchett said.

On just the second defensive snap of the game, Detroit Lions cornerback Amik Robertson suffered a brutal-looking elbow injury. While Robertson was making a tackle, teammate Jack Campbell came crashing in and smashed into Robertson’s arm.

Robertson had to be escorted to the locker room with trainings stabilizing his arm. Initial reports from the team called it an elbow injury and he is questionable to return.

UPDATE: Robertson has been downgraded to out. He will not return.

If Robertson is out, it’s a devastating blow for the Lions defense, which is already missing several cornerbacks. Carlton Davis (IR), Emmanuel Moseley (non-football illness), Ennis Rakestraw (IR), and Khalil Dorsey (IR) are all currently out, with only Rakestraw expected to return. The only healthy cornerbacks on the active roster against the Commanders are Terrion Arnold, Kindle Vildor, and practice squad call-up Stantley Thomas-Oliver. Vildor stepped in for Robertson on the opening drive.

We’ll provide more updates as they come in for the Lions. Let’s hope for the best for now.
