HARPER WOODS, Mich. – Police in Harper Woods are investigating a shooting that hospitalized a woman Thursday, Dec. 21.
The shooting happened at about 8 a.m. near the intersection of Woodcrest Street and Lansdowne Avenue. The shooting prompted several nearby schools to go into lockdown as a precaution.
Police said they were called to an area near the intersection of Kelly Road and Woodland Street, where they found a woman inside a vehicle who had been shot.
Police went to a home they believed the suspect could have been hiding in. A special response team made entry to the home, but they did not locate the suspect.
Residents were urged to shelter-in-place as they searched for the suspect.
The woman and the suspect are believed to have known each other and the shooting was not a random act.
The suspect has not been taken into custody.
Police insisted the shooting was not school-related, but that the lockdown was standard procedure. They added there was a lot of false information shared online and they want to emphasize the shooting was not school-related.
The school lockdowns were lifted at about 12:10 p.m.
