MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. – Warren Woods Tower High School, Macomb Community College South Campus, and the Dental Science Building went into lockdown Thursday, Sept. 14, due to a shooting in the vicinity.
The shooting occurred Thursday (Sept. 14) at 3:30 p.m. at Martin and Bunert roads. The lockdown was lifted just before 6 p.m.
Officials said the victim was driving when three suspects approached him before shooting him multiple times causing him to crash into someone’s front lawn.
Police said bullets hit the home as well, but no one was home and or hurt.
Officials said the man was taken to hospital, and at last check, was in critical condition.
Officials said the shooting did not appear to be random as it seemed the victim/suspects were doing some meet-up, like a Facebook meet-up or something along those lines.
The search continues as the three suspects are still at large. Residents in the area were asked to stay inside to avoid interfering with the police search.
No nearby schools, including Macomb Community College, were at all connected.
“Officers responded to the scene quickly and immediately began to render aid to the victim and search the area for the suspects. As of now, we are looking to identify three suspects believed to be involved in this senseless crime of violence. From a review of the investigation so far, this does not appear to be a random act of violence. We are actively working this case and hope to have more suspect information in the near future, possibly as early as tomorrow. If anybody has any information or video of this incident, please contact Det. Price at 586-574-4729 (bprice@warrenpd.org) or Det. Bechill at 586-574-4713 (wbechill@warrenpd.org).”
