Multiple Victims Injured in Port Huron Apartment Shooting; Suspect in Custody
Port Huron, Mich. — A quiet morning on the city’s north side was shattered by gunfire when multiple people were shot at the Glenview Garden Apartments. The Port Huron Police Department says a suspect has been taken into custody and there is no ongoing threat to the community.
The Incident
According to Police Chief Brian Kerrigan, officers were dispatched to the Glenview Garden Apartments earlier this morning after reports of shots fired. Upon arrival, law enforcement found several victims suffering from gunshot wounds inside the complex.
Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel quickly responded, transporting the injured individuals to local hospitals for treatment. Authorities have not released the conditions of those victims, nor have they specified how many people were injured.
Suspect in Custody
Chief Kerrigan confirmed that one suspect has been taken into custody. While details about the individual — including their identity, age, and possible motive — have not yet been made public, police stressed that there is no ongoing danger to residents of Port Huron.
The swift apprehension, officials say, was the result of a coordinated response by patrol officers and investigators.
Community Response
The shooting has left residents of the north side neighborhood shaken. The Glenview Garden Apartments, a multi-unit residential complex, is home to dozens of families. Neighbors described the heavy police presence this morning, with patrol cars blocking off the area and ambulances rushing victims away.
Several residents expressed fear and sadness that such violence occurred so close to home. “You never expect this to happen where you live,” one neighbor said. “We’re just praying for the people who were hurt.”
Investigation Underway
Detectives with the Port Huron Police Department are actively investigating the shooting. Crime scene tape remained around the apartment complex into the late morning as officers collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.
Authorities have not said whether the shooting was domestic-related, gang-related, or otherwise targeted. Chief Kerrigan emphasized that investigators are working to piece together the sequence of events and urged patience as more information is confirmed.
Official Statement
In a brief press conference, Chief Kerrigan reassured the community:
“We want residents to know that a suspect is in custody, and there is no further threat. Our priority now is to support the victims, their families, and to conduct a thorough investigation into what led to this tragic incident.”
Next Steps
The names and conditions of the victims, as well as details about the suspect, will be released once investigators complete their preliminary work and after family members have been notified. Police say updates will be provided as soon as possible.
For now, the community of Port Huron is left waiting for answers, hoping for the recovery of those injured, and grappling with the reality of gun violence striking close to home.
