During a search of the vehicle, police found spent 9mm shell casings. Two guns were also recovered in a different location, believed to have been thrown out of the vehicle. Two men, a 26-year-old and 28-year-old, both from Battle Creek were taken into custody. The two face several charges including attempted murder as well as carrying concealed weapons, and felons in possession of firearms. The driver also faces an additional charge of fleeing from police. The names of the two suspects have not been released.

At the apartment complex, damage from bullets was found in parked vehicles and inside some apartment units. No injuries were reported as a result of the gunfire, but several people who live there said they took cover or went to the floor when they heard the gunshots.

Police investigators believe there was an exchange of gunfire in the parking lot, but no information about a motive has been released. They also have not indicated if there is another suspect related to the shootings.
