GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — One man was hurt while he was sleeping when a drive-by shooting happened.

It happened just after 1:30 a.m. on Clancy Ave near Bradford Street NE, which is located in the Belknap Lookout neighborhood.

Grand Rapids Police say a man called dispatch around 1:41 a.m. saying he had been shot.
