MUSKEGON, Mich. — Muskegon High School was placed on lockdown after a shooting Friday morning.

The shooting happened around 10 a.m. on Kenneth Street.

The Muskegon Police Department (MPD) says the shooting began as a domestic argument, adding the shooting didn’t happen near the school. According to police, a 38-year-old Muskegon man was shot in the leg. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

A 15-year-old from Muskegon was taken into custody on charges related to the shooting.

Police believe the shooting was the result of a family dispute and say there is no threat to the public.

The school was locked down out of an abundance of caution, as reports suggested the suspect may have passed the school when he took off, police explain.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Muskegon Police Department at 231-724-6750 or Silent Observer at 231-722-7463.
