East Lansing police responded to a shots fired call on Ann Street between late Friday night and early Saturday morning, taking four suspects into custody after the tense scene ended close to 1 a.m.
East Lansing police Lt. Steve Gonzales said police confirmed a round was fired in what police believe to be a heated argument.
The car the suspects were in was stopped by police and the suspects were apprehended by police with guns drawn. At least five police cars were parked behind the red Mercury sedan on Abbot Street. Additional police cars were blocking off the road from Burcham Drive to Oakhill Avenue and side streets were similarly inaccessible because of police.
Gonzales said the bullet hit a house but no one was injured. After responding to the call at 11:30 p.m., police located a vehicle with four potential suspects inside. The department is still working to determine the suspects’ involvement in the shooting.
Gonzales said no MSU students appear to be involved in the incident.
MSU students did witness the incident, however, and chemical engineering Aditya Voruganti was one of them. After exiting an apartment building, Voruganti said he turned the corner and saw officers with guns drawn at a car and took four people out in handcuffs. The whole ordeal lasted about 45 minutes and included a K-9 unit sweep of the area.
