"Numerous" Reports Of Gunfire At Trailer Park

Oct. 1, 2019

Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s deputies received “numerous” reports of gunfire at the Town & Country mobile home park in Garfield Township at just before midnight Saturday.

No injuries or damage was reported, though a bullet fragment was found in the rim of a parked vehicle, Capt. Christopher Clark says. Clark says numerous people called to say they heard three gunshots followed by the sound of loud music and a vehicle speeding away.

Deputies also received a description of the vehicle, which they tracked down nearby at Carson Square Apartments. They questioned a 21-year-old suspect who said he’d been target shooting at Hoosier Valley that evening, Clark says. Deputies searched the man’s vehicle and found spent 9mm shell casings but no handgun. The case remains under investigation.
