Berkshire Drive in Kalamazoo Sunday Evening
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety is looking for two suspects after a violent home invasion that led to a shooting Sunday evening.
People at a home in the 900 block of Berkshire Drive say an individual they recognized showed up to their residence around 9 p.m., when another person behind them forced their way into the home with a small-caliber rifle demanding money.
A resident at the home refused to comply with the armed suspect’s demands, who then forced the resident into an upstairs room at gunpoint.
Police say a physical confrontation followed, leading to a shooting where a male victim was wounded. That victim suffered a single gunshot wound to the torso and three gunshot wounds to the leg. The victim was transported to the hospital, where the injuries were determined to be non-life threatening.
The two suspects involved ran from the scene following the shooting. K-9 officers were brought to the area to attempt a track. So far, no arrests have been made.
Due to the proximity of this emergency, Western Michigan University sent out alerts on Twitter warning students of a home invasion in the area:
