PONTIAC, Mich. -- Neighbors in one community said a man was shot and killed early Sunday morning after he interrupted a neighborhood party and robbed some of the partygoers.

"It's like playground rules. They just broke one of them by going in and robbing and turning your back on someone," neighbor Andre said.

Andre said 29-year-old Gregory Scott interupted a dice game in the basement of a house in the 300 block of Seward Street in Pontiac at about 3:30 a.m.

Andre said Scott pulled a gun on partygoers and robbed them.

"He goes in, pulls out a gun, let off a shot or two to make the person come out his money, and he was fine with that and turned his back," Andre said. "But everybody had pistols ... lights went off on him then."

Andre said the man was shot several times as he ran up the stairs and out of the house.

"He made it outside. He fell outside," Andre said.

Neighbors said two other people were also wounded but were able to walk away from the scene.

"Don't nobody have no type of consideration for the people that own these houses on these streets," another neighbor, Candy, said.

Andre said he's sorry the man died but not at what happened.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. You rob, you get robbed," he said. "You go ahead and try to kill somebody and you don't do it, you most likely about to get killed."

Police are investigating and said it's unclear if anyone will be charged.
