Man Fishing Along Detroit River Monday Evening Hooks Gun With His Line
The incident took place Monday evening along the Detroit River, where a man had been fishing when his line snagged something unexpected beneath the surface of the water. Upon pulling his line in, the man discovered that he had hooked a gun with his fishing pole rather than a fish.
The discovery of a firearm in the Detroit River, while unusual, is not entirely without precedent in urban waterways where weapons are sometimes discarded or thrown into rivers to dispose of evidence following criminal activity.

Detroit Police Responded to the Scene and Recovered the Weapon
Following the unexpected discovery, Detroit police were called to the scene along the Detroit River. Officers responded and took possession of the gun that had been pulled from the water by the fisherman’s line.
The weapon was successfully recovered by law enforcement and removed from the scene.

The case remains developing as investigators examine the recovered weapon for any identifying information that could connect it to prior criminal activity in the city.
