A Michigan wedding turned violent when a fight escalated into a shooting.
According to CBS News, the Roseville Police Department in Roseville, Michigan, is investigating a shooting after five people were injured at a wedding reception. Officers responded to the parking lot at Athena Hall around 11 p.m., where witnesses relayed that guests began fighting with each other before at least two handguns were drawn.
“The scene quickly descended into chaos as guests fled the area,” Roseville police chief Mitchell Berlin said during a press conference.
Three people were shot and taken to local hospitals, according to the police. All three sustained injuries that were not life-threatening and are expected to make a full recovery.
At the scene, officers also found a man who was hit by a fleeing vehicle. He appeared to have a broken hip and was treated at the scene before leaving for further medical care. Officials also shared that another person sustained a deep cut, but it wasn’t clear how it happened.
“The victims and witnesses were not very cooperative with officers, but detectives will be working on identifying additional witnesses,” said Berlin.
The investigation is still ongoing.
