Police responded

p.m. local time (2250 GMT) and found a victim who had been shot
multiple times on the sidewalk outside a Burlington Coat
Factory, Harper Woods Department of Public Safety director Jim
Burke said in a statement.
Burke said the victim was transported to a local hospital where
he died. One suspect was taken into custody, Burke said, and an
investigation was ongoing.
The Detroit Free Press newspaper reported that the mall, about

and locked down in response to the shooting.
