Teen Killed, 6 Injured In Downtown Lansing Mass Shooting: Reports

LANSING, MI — A 17-year-old boy was killed and six others were injured in a mass shooting in downtown Lansing, early Monday morning, according to multiple reports.

Officers were called to Rotary Park, behind the Market Place Apartment Complex, just before 3 a.m.

They found a large crowd with several people injured in the park, as well as a second scene across the street in the Lansing Brewery parking lot, WILX 10 said.

The teen was pronounced dead after being brought to a nearby hospital. A second victim is in critical condition, reports said.

The victims ranged from 15 to 20 years old, according to Fox 47 News.

Officers described a “chaotic scene” to WLNS.

In a statement, Mayor Andy Schor reportedly called the shooting “a case of people using guns to settle arguments.”

“The fact simply remains that access to guns is too easy. These young people should not have had these guns. We take hundreds of illegal weapons off the street every year, yet continue to face these tragic incidents,” Schor said.

The mayor promised to “aggressively hold responsible the owner of the guns that were used” and “arrest all parties responsible” in the fatal Monday morning shooting.
