KALAMAZOO, Mich. — Troopers were involved in a shots fired incident in Kalamazoo Thursday afternoon.

The incident happened before 3 p.m. in the 2200 block of Regent Street, according to Michigan State Police (MSP).

We're told MSP's Fugitive Team were in the area to make contact with a suspect, a 35-year-old Kalamazoo man, who had outstanding warrants. One of those warrants was for absconding bond on a meth-related charge.

The suspect was spotted on his driveway holding a pair of handguns, MSP explains. He began to move in an underhanded manner and refused to stop on command.

MSP says troopers fired their weapons, at which the suspect immediately turned himself over. He was taken into custody and lodged at the Kalamazoo County Jail without further incident.

We’re told no injuries were reported among troopers or the suspect. Two troopers are on paid administrative leave.

The incident is currently under investigation.
