Detroit — Michigan State Police are investigating a weekend shooting in which a man was wounded in the shoulder, officials said.

State police received a 911 call at 11:10 p.m. Saturday from a person who said he saw a black sedan pull alongside a silver Mercedes traveling south on the Lodge Freeway near Schaefer Highway and someone inside opened fire. 

Detroit police were called to assist and found the Mercedes at 12:05 a.m. Sunday at a hospital's emergency room entrance. The officers located the victim, a 28-year-old Detroit man, inside with a gunshot wound to his left shoulder.
