Gunfight Reported at Orion Township Apartment Complex

Oakland Township Sheriff's Deputies responded to a 911 call Thursday evening for a report of shots fired at the 2000 block of Cline Court, at the Waldon Lakes apartment complex, according to an incident report.

Two witnesses reported two men engaged in a gunfight, one from a car and one on foot, according to the report. 

According to the report, deputies arrived and began searching the area for the suspects. Deputies located the suspect who had reportedly fled on foot, a 21-year-old man from Pontiac, and arrested him at the scene. According to the report, the man also had outstanding arrest warrants.

An Oakland County Sheriff's sergeant later located a white car with a 23-year-old Pontiac man and a woman inside with several windows shot out and recovered a semiautomatic handgun from the vehicle, along with several spent shell casings, the report indicated.

According to the report, deputies believe the man on foot and someone inside the vehicle had exchanged gunfire, but a second gun could not be located. The man on foot denied to deputies that he had fired a gun and denied knowing the person inside the vehicle, the report indicated.

The Pontiac man was lodged at Oakland County Jail. According to the department, the investigation is ongoing. 

On Friday, Oakland County Sheriff's Office investigators continue to interview witnesses and process evidence collected at the scene. No injuries were reported in the suspected exchange of gunfire, which department officials said occurred a short distance from a playground.

Sheriff's investigators determined the two men became involved in a shooting incident in the parking lot of the complex, the report indicated. The 23-year-old man, who holds a concealed pistol license, told investigators he was confronted in the parking lot by the 21-year-old man and discharged his firearm from inside his vehicle to protect himself.

According to Sheriff's officials, both men provided conflicting accounts of what had transpired and witnesses told officials both men might have had handguns.

Once evidence is processed, the incident will be reviewed by the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office.
