A 21-year-old male gunshot victim from Grand Rapids later was transported by a family members to a local hospital with a non-life-threatening wound to the shoulder. The victim was uncooperative when asked about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Multiple shell casings were found in the parking lot. No victims were located.
A witness observed a male subject throw an object into a nearby trash bin, which was later identified as a handgun. Two suspects were stopped nearby, identified by a witness and taken into custody.
