Police closed the freeway to investigate a shooting that was reportedly associated with a road rage incident.
According to MSP, at around 2:25 a.m. on Monday, a 30-year-old man was driving home from the bar when he was involved in a road rage incident on I-94. It’s alleged that someone in a dark sedan fired at the 30-year-old man at some point on his way home.
Police said the man who reported the shooting was taken to the hospital, but they did not say if he was shot. His exact condition was not provided, officials just said the man was stable.
The 30-year-old man was intoxicated, MSP said, and couldn’t “provide any kind of route of travel or narrow down a scene where the shooting occurred.”
As part of their investigation, officers shut down EB I-94 to canvass the freeway. All lanes have since reopened to traffic.
Anyone who knows anything about the alleged shooting is asked to call 1-855-MICH-TIP, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-Speak Up.
