Six people face charges, citations after Friday shooting at Freedom Lane Apartments
BATTLE CREEK — Four adults and two teens face citations and charges after an argument led to a shooting Friday at Freedom Lane Apartments.
Battle Creek officers responded to the apartments near Forest Street and W. Dickman Road at about 4:30 p.m. Friday after receiving multiple reports of shots fired in the area, according to a release. Witnesses told officers the suspects ran into an apartment, and one of the teens left out a back door.
The teen was found nearby on Spring Street with four weapons — an assault-style pistol and three 9mm handguns — allegedly used in the shooting. Police determined the pistol and one of the handguns were stolen. Police subsequently executed a search warrant for the apartment, where they found ammunition.
Shortly after police set up a barrier around the apartment suspects ran into, three of the adults came out.
The following are charged in connection with the shooting:
A 14-year-old is at the Calhoun County Youth Center for felonious assault, carrying a concealed weapon, felony firearm, and possession of a stolen firearm.
A 29-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman are in the Calhoun County Jail for felonious assault.
A 21-year-old woman is in the Calhoun County Jail for disorderly conduct.
A 20-year-old woman was cited with disorderly conduct and released.
A 17-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct and released to their family.
No people were injured and no property was damaged as a result of the gunshots, police said. Authorities believe the situation started as an argument and assault between people living in the apartment complex.
