KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) — Kalamazoo Public Safety officers say two children were struck by stray gunfire during a shooting between two vehicles.
It happened around 9 p.m. Wednesday in the 1200 block of Ogden Avenue near Douglas Avenue near the city’s Northside.
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.
At last reported there have been no arrests, but authorities have released information on the possible involved vehicles.
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.
Anyone with more information on this shooting should contact the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety at 269-337-8139 or Silent Observer at 269-343-2100.
