HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (FOX 2) - A jewelry store owner got attacked in an attempted robbery, being stabbed in the head - but shot the suspect four times.
Both men are still alive after the incident which happened at Naya's Jewelry on Joseph Campau Friday afternoon.
"We had a stabbing and a shooting," said Max Garbarino, Hamtramck community safety director.
Police say the suspect stabbed the store owner in the head but the owner defended himself and shot the suspect four times. Both men were taken to a nearby hospital
The whole incident happened so fast, the suspect never was able to try to steal anything, investigators say.
"I don't know of any of our jewelry stores where they're not armed, so it's very foolish for someone to do that here," Garbarino said.

Investigators aren't disclosing the extent of their injuries but they did say the store owner is expected to recover.
"The store owner was talking to our officers and giving us details so I'm fairly certain he'll probably be ok," Garbarino said.
Karen Majewski is the mayor of Hamtramck, she's also the owner of Tekla Vintage
"This is really surprising and shocking because we have a lot of foot traffic here and that's kind of what we are known for," she said

“Hamtramck is surrounded by the city of Detroit except for a small portion of the western border that touches the similarly surrounded city of Highland Park. Hamtramck is by far the most densely-populated municipality in the state of Michigan.
Known in the 20th century as a vibrant center of Polish-American life and culture, Hamtramck has attracted new immigrants in the 21st century, especially from Yemen and Bangladesh. In 2015, it is said to have the first Muslim-majority city council in the history of the United States, with four of the six council members being Muslims.[6][7][8]”
Apparently not a “Gun Crime”. Hamtramck must have pro active training programs for Guns, they are so well behaved there.
Clearly what was needed here was someone to “talk the stabber down”.
Now you can go to Hamtramck and hear the Muslim call to prayer sounded over the city sound system . . . and most of the good Polish businesses are gone including one of the best bakeries that ever existed.
I suppose getting stabbed in the head might throw someone’s aim a bit off.
Sounds like he needs a bigger gun. Or more practice.
Yep, my FIL had one of the largest meat markets in Dearborn for decades, sold out about 2 years too late. He had a smoker the size of my office, sold tons of sausage to stores and restaurants in the Polish community there.
When they tore down the Immaculate Conception church in Hamtramck for the new auto plant mom and dad bought all the old pews, still still have a few laying around.
Some of the best food around Detroit area was there, but just like Dearborn, it’s all gone now.
What is a “gun crime” is the woeful lack of target practice.
Might have had something to do with being stabbed in the head first.
Yes, he could practice more while being stabbed. You can’t let those distractions throw off your aim.
“Four hits and we should be seeing a corpse. “
Lets see what your accuracy is like after being stabbed in the head.
My local range doesn't even have a place to practice that scenario.
