Gun Fired at Bed Occupied by Rochester Hills Girl, 13, and Infant: Police

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A 26-year-old Madison Heights man who allegedly fired a gun inside a Rochester Hills apartment Monday, striking a bed where a 13-year-old was sitting with an infant, is being held in the Oakland County Jail pending charges, authorities said Friday.

The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said in a news release that deputies were called to the 1400 block of Tienken Court about 7:40 p.m. to assist medics with the Rochester Hills Fire Department, who had responded to reports that the Madison Heights man was passed out in a vehicle.

While the medics were attending to the man, the 25-year-old resident of the apartment came out and removed the alleged shooter's handgun from the vehicle, the sheriff's office said.

Residents of the apartment told deputies that the man now held in jail pointed the gun at someone inside the apartment and that it discharged while others tried to wrestle it away, according to the news release. The suspect was thrown out of the residence, and apparently passed out in his vehicle.

No one was injured.

The suspect was taken to Crittenton Hospital for further treatment before he was taken to jail.
