ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A suspect is in custody after a shooting at an Alpine Township apartment complex Monday morning.

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office says a 911 call came in around 6 a.m. reporting someone had been shot by another person inside an apartment at the York Creek Apartment complex on Yorkland Drive.

The sheriff’s office says no one was injured, but five people were still inside the apartment with the suspect.

Deputies say the five people were afraid to come out and were hiding in different rooms.

The sheriff’s office says negotiators were called in and the suspect was not cooperative.

According to the sheriff’s office, a tactical team seized a window of opportunity and entered the apartment.

The 48-year-old suspect was taken into custody on felony charges and a gun was found nearby.

Deputies say the situation stemmed from a domestic argument.
