GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Four people are injured after a crowd turned hostile in Grand Rapids, police say.
Officers were near the Blue Bridge around 3:15 a.m. Sunday when they heard multiple gunshots.
On the bridge, there was a "large disorderly gathering," officials initially described.
Police found four adult victims who were suffering from non-life-threatening injuries.
According to Chief Eric Winstrom of the Grand Rapids Police Department on Monday, there was a massive, illegal party on the bridge with up to one hundred people.
Prior to the shooting, the chief says there were disturbance calls around the bridge throughout the night.
They made arrests, towed illegally-parked cars and then found there was an impromptu party going on with people drinking.
On Friday night, there was a similar call about an impromptu illegal party on the bridge, even with a DJ in attendance. There were some arrests made then, as well.
The Blue Bridge is privately owned by the Downtown Development Authority.
"We have been in discussion with them today and let them know what our options are as...even if it's just signage. 'The bridge is closed except through traffic through these hours' or perhaps close the bridge all together late at night. We'll see what we can do to make sure this doesn't happen again in the future," said Winstrom.
Police are still figuring out how exactly the shooting unfolded.
No arrests have been made at this time, however they're reviewing video surveillance evidence.
The police did place a mobile trailer with surveillance cameras near the bridge in an attempt to deter crime.
Winstrom said they're planning on getting three more trailers this week and they'll deploy them where they're needed.
The investigation is still ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Grand Rapids Police Department or Silent Observer.
