The Southfield Police Department has completed its investigation into a shooting outside Bloom Lounge, where a security guard fatally shot a woman. No charges will be filed. The incident occurred last Saturday during a domestic dispute involving multiple people. CBS News Detroit said, "Security responded to the disturbance in the parking lot and began assisting a woman with head lacerations, while security personnel was providing aid, witnesses reported hearing the decedent state, 'I'm going to kill you.'"
According to ClickOnDetroit, 33-year-old Alexandra Fields approached a security guard who was helping an injured woman after an earlier altercation, first with a wrench and then with a gun. The guard shot Fields six times, fatally, and accidentally injured another person. Prosecutors have ruled that the guard acted in self-defense. Bar owner Kenny Valentino said, "The security was out there, and they were actively trying to dismantle the situation, so it didn’t escalate, unfortunately they weren’t successful in that." The incident has led to talks about adding more lighting and cameras at the facility.
A Detroit resident was shot and killed by a security guard after dropping a wrench and drawing a legally owned handgun. "The security guard discharged his firearm, striking the decedent six times," as per FOX 2 Detroit. The guard, who had a valid concealed permit, will not face charges, the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office said. Valentino plans to meet with the Chateau Villa Condominiums association to discuss adding signage and a parking lot attendant to monitor visitor parking.
