Man arrested in connection with Owosso shooting | Local news

The report is the latest in a series of similar calls the department has received in the previous two days, Lenkart told The Argus-Press on Monday.

As officers searched the scene, “they found evidence” that confirmed that shooting had indeed taken place in the area, including shell casings, Lenkart said. Officers also encountered “an individual who lived nearby,” and in speaking with him, “they determined that he may have been involved in the incident,” Lenkart continued.

After further investigation confirmed officers’ belief that the man fired the shots, he was arrested and booked into the Shiawassee County Jail, Lenkart said.

The Owosso police chief stressed that at this point, none of the shots fired on Monday appeared to have been aimed at anyone and that no one was injured.

“There was no intended victim,” he said. “It was more of a random incident.”

Lenkart said the investigation into the incident was still ongoing.

In a press release Monday, Lenkart said, “The safety of our residents is our top priority. We are grateful for the quick response of our officers and the cooperation of the community.”
