Authorities issued a public safety alert in Marine City, Michigan, on Sunday due to a possible active shooter situation. A massive police presence was seen downtown, but it is unclear if there were any injuries.
A shelter-in-place was issued, and residents were urged to avoid the downtown area. Initial alerts came out around 6:40 PM local time, and roads were closed immediately.
Marine City is a small city in eastern Michigan, located along the banks of the St. Clair River, about 50 miles northeast of Detroit.
This incident comes weeks after a confrontation outside a local business led to criminal charges in January. A misdemeanor charge of illegal use of a chemical device was issued, and authorities are reviewing the victim's medical records to determine if an aggravated assault charge could also be pursued.
