A fatal shooting outside a local bar is under investigation, according to Local 4 reports.

Police say the owner of Kerry's Wild Cherry Café on East Eight Mile Road on Detroit's east side shot and killed a robber Wednesday night.

The owner and a woman were confronted outside the bar by a man in his 20s or 30s, armed with a gun, who ordered them to hand over some items, according to police.

After giving the robber his cell phone, police say the owner pulled out his own gun and shot the man and killed him.

A teenager running away from area where the shooting happened was believed to be the getaway driver, according to reports. Eastpointe police tracked down the teen. He is reportedly being held at a detention center.

Police continue their investigation into the shooting but say it appears to be justified.
