On Friday, November 3, 2017 at approximately 4:33 p.m. the Ingham County 9-1-1 Center received several calls regarding a possible shooting that had just occurred at Pattengill Academy (626 Marshall Ave). When officers from the Lansing Police Department (LPD) arrived on scene they received information from witnesses that a black SUV vehicle was seen leaving the scene after the shooting.
While officers were on scene the Ingham Co. 9-1-1 Center received information that a shooting victim had been dropped off at local hospital in a black SUV. The shooting victim is a 15 year old female, Lansing resident who was not a student at Pattengill Academy. The victim sustained a non-life threating gunshot wound and is listed in stable condition.
