19-year-old woman arrested after shooting leaves 2 injured at Michigan mall
A 19-year-old woman was arrested in connection with a shooting at a mall in Michigan that injured two people, according to police.
The Meridian Township Police Department said the shooting occurred on Friday, May 30, at the Meridian Mall in Okemos, around 7 miles from Lansing. Officers responded to the area after receiving reports of gunfire in the parking lot near Dick's Sporting Goods. Those involved fled the area before the police arrived, according to the department.
Two people suffered gunshot wounds as a result of the incident, the department said. Officers later identified and interviewed the involved individuals at a local hospital. Following the interviews, officers took the 19-year-old woman from Lansing into custody, police said.
Police did not share what possible charges the unidentified woman could face. The conditions of the two injured individuals are unclear.
USA TODAY contacted Meridian Township police on May 31 but has not received a response.
Now the police are asking for the public's assistance in finding the vehicles believed to be involved in the shooting, including a burgundy sedan, possibly a Chrysler 300 or Toyota Camry with dark-tinted windows and dark colored rims, and a black sedan, possibly a Chevy Malibu with tinted windows.
Once police secured the area, they said, "There is no threat to the public at this time." The mall has also since reopened for business, according to the department.
Police said the investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information regarding this incident can call the Meridian Township Police Department at 517-853-4800.
