ECORSE Police have little information on those whofired shots
into a crowd Sunday morning, leaving a youngwoman dead and at least
one other person wounded outsidean after-hours club in a building
owned by a city council-woman.
Chanel Weddington, a 22-year-old city resident, was shotin the
upper body at about3:35 a.m. outside the build-ing at 3740 12th St.
She wasrushed to Wyandotte HenryFord Hospital in a policesquad car,
where she diedshortly after.
A 38-year-old Southfieldman who was shot wastaken to Oakwood
Hospital& Medical Center inDearborn and admitted forsurgery.
His condition wasunknown yesterday.
Also, another man, 30,might have been shot in theleg but police
have not con-firmed that, Public SafetyDirector Gerald
Champagnesaid Monday.
A fourth person believedto be injured in the meleewas not

response time, Douglas said.
The woman should have been taken in an ambulance toOakwood

the victim was hit, he said. ... Its one ofthose things. (I) dont
want to be an armchair quarterback.It depends on the
circumstances.
Councilwoman Stacy Wheeler owns the building thathouses The

Champagne said officers spoke with her at thescene and she has been
cooperating. He added that therewas no evidence of any illegal
activity at the club or thatanything related to the shooting
happened inside.
