CASCADE TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A man is hospitalized in critical condition after being shot during a fight at a car show late Saturday night.

Just before midnight Saturday, the Kent County Sheriff's Office says 100 to 200 cars showed up, in what deputies called an impromptu car show along the 5200 block of 33rd Street.

The cars had been driving dangerously and congregating in areas inside and outside of Kent County, deputies say.

While the vehicles were gathering along 33rd Street, deputies say a 21-year-old Gaines Township man and others started fighting.

During the fight, the 21-year-old was shot. He was taken to the hospital by friends where he was listed in critical condition later Sunday.

Most of the crowd drove away as authorities arrived at the scene, leaving behind large amounts of trash and signs of reckless driving.

Investigators are working to learn more about the suspects involved in the shooting.
