Two people were killed and a third person seriously injured in a shooting early Saturday in Mount Pleasant, the Michigan State Police said. Troopers responding to the 4700 block of Commons Drive around 4:15 a.m. found two people dead at the scene and a third victim with serious injuries who was taken to a hospital.
The shooting
The shooting occurred at a residence on Commons Drive, roughly 1.7 miles east of Central Michigan University's campus in Isabella County, about 70 miles north of Lansing. Michigan State Police from the Mount Pleasant Post are leading the investigation, and MSP Lab personnel were on scene processing evidence. Police asked the public to avoid the area while investigators processed the scene.
The victims
The two people who died were identified as a 21-year-old man from Jackson and an 18-year-old woman from Ludington. MSP said the two were acquaintances, though the extent of their relationship was unknown. An 18-year-old man from Mount Pleasant who was seriously injured was transported to a hospital, treated and released, police said. Their names have not been released.
The investigation
MSP said there is no immediate threat to the public, and Central Michigan University campus police told WWJ Newsradio that everything was fine on the university's campus. Investigators have not released details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting or a possible motive, and are awaiting autopsy results and toxicology analysis. The investigation remains ongoing.
