Detroit law enforcement is on the lookout for two suspects tied to a violent incident that ended with gunshots and a stabbing outside a local watering hole earlier this month. According to CBS DETROIT, the chaos unfolded in the early hours of Jan. 14, around 1:30 a.m., after an altercation brewed within the premises, spilling blood on the streets of their 20500 block of Grand River.

A heated exchange inside the bar sent tempers flaring, and, as tempers flared it led to a shooting and a separate stabbing incident right outside, where one suspect opened fire, hitting an 18-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man another suspect plunged a blade into a 29-year-old male victim, the ClickOnDetroit report details. The victims were rushed to a local hospital and fortunately survived the violent altercation, later being released after receiving treatment.
