State troopers responded to the shooting at 4:15 a.m. in the 4700 block of Commons Drive in Mount Pleasant, according to MLive. Officers found two people dead at the scene, and a third victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, the outlet reported. Mount Pleasant sits in Isabella County, roughly 70 miles north of Lansing, according to CBS Detroit.
Michigan State Police are investigating the shooting, per Mid-Michigan Now, which reported that MSP Lab personnel were on scene processing evidence. Police asked the public to avoid the area while investigators continued working the scene, and officials said there was no immediate threat to the public at that time, the station's report notes.
No Details Yet on What Led to the Shooting
Officials have not disclosed the circumstances surrounding the shooting or the ages of the people who were shot, per the same account. No further information was shared by police about the incident, which remains under investigation.
This is not the first time gunfire has rattled Mount Pleasant. In June 2024, a shooting began about 12:30 p.m. when a suspect allegedly shot another man then fled on foot, according to MLive's earlier coverage of that separate case. Michigan State Police announced the following morning that they had arrested a 58-year-old suspect, who was lodged in the Isabella County Jail on a charge of assault with intent to murder, the outlet reported at the time. That case is unrelated to Saturday's shooting on Commons Drive.
What Remains Unknown
No suspect has been identified in connection with Saturday's shooting, and no arrest has been announced. The hospitalized victim's condition following treatment has not been reported, and police have released no information about a possible motive or relationship between the people involved.
