NORTON SHORES, Mich. — The public was urged to remain indoors while police responded to “a domestic issue” in Norton Shores Friday.
The Norton Shores Police Department (NSPD) says there were reports of a gun being fired near Norton Shores Middle School on Woodside Road at around 9:50 a.m.
Two others were in the home when the incident occurred, according to NSPD.
The incident has since been resolved peacefully with a white man in his 60s taken into custody, police say. He is being interviewed at this time.
No injuries were reported.
We’re told the school was locked down immediately while police handled the incident. Specifically, all doors and windows were locked and no one was allowed in or out of the building until the lockdown was lifted.
Police say classroom instruction proceeded as normal.
At the end of the school day, the superintendent says students who are normally picked up from school will be transported to the high school via bus. Parents will be able to pick them up beginning at 2:30 p.m.
We're told students who usually walk home will be taken to Trinity Lutheran. They will walk the rest of the way home from there unless parents wish to pick them up.
Officers will ensure all students follow safe routes home, school officials say.
