3 people shot after cars exchange fire in Bay City, Michigan

Two vehicles exchanged gunfire while driving at a high rate of speed from James Clements Airport to a nearby McDonald’s in Bay County, Michigan, injuring at least 3 people, according to witnesses and local officials.

The incident began just after 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday when multiple people called 911 about a shooting involving two vehicles which were driving near the airport and heading into the city.

Witnesses reported hearing automatic gunfire as the vehicles raced at more than 100 miles per hour before one of them was disabled near a McDonald’s restaurant, on North Tuscola Road in Hampton Township.

Upon arrival, officers found three gunshot victims who were suffering from non-life threatening injuries. The second vehicle had already fled the scene and the occupants are still at large.

In connection with this incident, officers are also investigating damage to a house in the 200 block of Michigan Street.

Other details about the circumstances of Tuesday’s shooting were not immediately known. It’s unclear whether the shooting was some type of road rage incident or whether the people in the vehicles knew each other.
