LANSING, Mich. — Lansing Police are providing an update on the mass shooting that happened in the early morning hours of Memorial Day.

Detectives say 7 people were shot at the Lansing Shuffle, a restaurant that offers space for large parties. Shuffle sits near the Lansing Center on the Grand River. 1 of the victims, a 17-year-old, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say that a large group of people were gathered in the area around 3 a.m. when the shooting happened. Investigators now believe the gathering was unplanned, but had been shared and reshared by many people on social media. As many as 100 people may have been at the event when the shots rang out.

Detectives say two groups of people that are in an active feud were both in attendance.

The victims include 17-year-old Kylee Owens who was killed. A 20-year-old man and 16-year-old boy both remain in critical condition. Other teens were treated for less severe injuries.

Officers who responded to the scene first focused on medical care for the victims. 1 victim was taken to the hospital in a patrol cruiser.

Police believe many, if not all of the victims were not targeted in the shooting.

No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.
