FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Two children are among the victims of a shooting that broke out in Fruitport Township, killing two people and hospitalizing two others.
Police say they were sent around 11:00 on Sunday morning to a subdivision in Fruitport Township, where callers reported a shooting in the 2500 block of Odawa Trail.
There, police found two people dead inside a home. Two more people were also located inside, suffering from gunshot wounds.
Police say they identified the two deceased persons as a 53-year-old man and a 10-year-old girl.
The other two victims, identified as a woman in her 60s and a 7-year-old girl, were taken to a nearby hospital. Police say they are in stable condition.
According to the Fruitport Police Department's Deputy Chief, Gregory Poulson, the shooting likely stems from a domestic issue.
"We believe there was a domestic issue involved in this," Poulson said at the scene. "I can't speculate to how far that goes. But it was domestic-related. Again, there's no danger to the community. Everything has stabilized here."
Poulson also said it's believed the 53-year-old man, who was found dead inside the home, was the suspect.
At this time, Poulson said it's not clear if all the victims resided at the home, but he did say the other people who were inside the home at the time are safe.
He also mentioned that this home had never had complaints in the past.
Police said there is no danger to the public related to this incident.
Fruitport officers were assisted at the scene by the Michigan State Police, Norton Shores Police Department and Muskegon County Sheriff's Office.
