GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids police confirm three men are seriously injured after a shooting at a beauty supply store on the city's west side.
Around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday evening, police say the shooting broke out inside a business near the intersection of Garfield Avenue and Leonard Street NW.
At this time, police believe the three men were shooting at each other.
"There's a real likelihood here that these are mutual combatants," Chief Winstrom told FOX 17. "I'm not coming to that conclusion right now. But we think that these are the three individuals involved and we don't think that there's any danger to the community. That's what I'm saying right now."
The victims were all in their early 20's, police say.
One person was found injured at the scene, while the others showed up at the hospital.
It's unclear how badly the men were injured, but Chief Winstrom said injuries were possibly life-threatening.
One weapon has been recovered, authorities confirm.
Details are limited, but police believe the shooting was the result of a targeted confrontation.
"Looks like the individuals all knew each other," explained Chief Winstrom. "These individuals had some sort of confrontation with each other, so definitely not a random incident."
No one else was hurt.
Police are still unsure if the men were at all connected to the beauty supply store. It's also unclear if the building sustained any damage.
At this time, police say there's no reason to believe there's a threat to the public.
The Grand Rapids Police Department continues to investigate the incident.
