KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety has identified two persons of interest in a shooting that occurred last week in the 1200 block of Ogden Avenue.
Around 9 p.m., witnesses reported that shots were fired between two automobiles in the area engaging in a “rolling gun battle,” according to the press release.
When first responders arrived they located two victims, a 5-year-old and a 12-year-old, who were struck during the shooting. Officers say they were not involved and were just playing on the nearby sidewalk when the incident occurred.
One child was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries while the second child did not require hospitalization.
Officers say a black SUV appeared to have dropped off a subject who is then seen shooting at the dark colored sedan. The sedan appears to have two different sets of custom wheels on the front and rear.
On Wednesday, July 1, KDPS released information about two persons of interest that are now being sought for questioning.
KDPS has learned that prior to this shooting a physical confrontation occurred at the Daysha’s Convenience Store located at 715 Douglas Avenue around 7:00 p.m., two hours before the shooting.
