2 teens arrested in 'revenge' shooting

SALEM TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - Two teenagers were arrested after being involved in a shooting that police said was an "act of revenge" from a past business deal.

A Michigan State Police trooper was dispatched at 9 p.m. Monday to the 3200 block of 146th Avenue in Salem Township in Allegan County.

Police were told a residence "had been shot up by a man with a rifle," according to a news release.

Trooper Carlos Fossati arrived and talked to the witness and homeowner when the suspect drove by in his pickup truck.

Trooper Fossati got in his car, chased down the truck and conducted a traffic stop at the intersection of 146th Avenue and 34th Street.

More troopers and a K-9 unit arrived and helped Trooper Fossati take the 17-year-old male driver from Zeeland and a 16-year-old male passenger into custody.

A .22 caliber rifle, a 25-round magazine and a box of ammunition were recovered from inside the suspects' vehicle.

The investigation revealed the driver was upset at the homeowner regarding a past business deal. So the driver walked into a cornfield and shot the windows out of the homeowner's truck and fired several more rounds into the home, police said.

No one was injured as the home's occupants were upstairs and not in the kitchen or living room where the bullets hit.

Anybody with more information about this incident is asked to call police at 269.792.2213.
