Detroit Police are investigating a shooting that happened around 1:00 p.m. this afternoon.

According to eyewitnesses and police, a younger man got into an argument with an older man and was being very disrespectful. The older man then pulled out a gun and shot the younger man several times, including in the chest and neck. 

The young man was still able to run south on Woodward where he was picked up by EMS and taken to Sinai Grace Hospital. His name and condition are not known. 

One eyewitness tells 7 Action News, "the old man came in with his daughter and grandchild and told the boy to be respectful with his child and granddaughter.  The boy started to mess with the old man. The old man showed him his stuff and got off a couple of pops."

The older man apparently got on a bus and left. Police are continuing to investigate.
