ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. (FOX 2) - Police are in hour 10 of an active shooter who has barricaded himself in his home in St. Claire Shores.
Officers responded to an alleged incident of gunfire around 10 p.m. on Thursday when a man fired into a crowd of people. The shooter allegedly fired at the group after becoming frustrated with people setting off fireworks.
The shooting happened on St. Margaret Street near 13 Mile and Masonic. Police said a 12-year-old was hit in the arm and an adult woman in her 60's was struck in her calf. Both are expected to be okay.
According to a family member, the man shot at them because they were using sparklers.
"I mean, it's terrible, especially on the Fourth of July when people are trying to have a good time and now two people are shot. I mean, why?" said Kaleigh Jackson, a neighbor told FOX 2 last night. "Just terrible."
Still described as a 'fluid situation,' police are trying to figure out if the man took his own life or slipped out of the house.

The woodsy community of Wolcott, Connecticut, doesn't see a lot of crime. But when the police chief heard about an opportunity to distribute doorbell cameras to some homes, he didn't hesitate.
The police who keep watch over the town of 16,000 raffled off free cameras in a partnership with the camera manufacturer. So far, the devices have encountered more bears than criminals, but Chief Ed Stephens is still a fan. "Anything that helps keep the town safe, I'm going to do it," he said.
But as more police agencies join with the company known as Ring, the partnerships are raising privacy concerns. Critics complain that the systems turn neighborhoods into places of constant surveillance and create suspicion that falls heavier on minorities. Police say the cameras can serve as a digital neighborhood watch.
Corvette moves engine to behind passenger to make fastest Vette ever
By TOM KRISHER, AP Auto Writer
When you first lay eyes on the new 2020 Corvette, a modern version of the classic American sports car isn't the first thing that pops into your head.
Instead, you think Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren.
The eighth-generation 'Vette, dubbed C8, is radically different from its predecessors, which for 66 years had the engine in the front. This time, engineers moved the General Motors' trademark small-block V8 behind the passenger compartment. It's so close to the driver that the belt running the water pump and other accessories is only a foot away.
