Street violence strains Muskegon Heights police resources Thursday

Street violence strains Muskegon Heights police resources Thursday | MLive.com:
"Shots were fired on Rotterdam Street and a mob began forming on Baker Street shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday, said Muskegon Heights Police Chief Lynne Gill.
Aware of what was happening on the streets, Muskegon Heights Charter School Academy System Director Alena Zachery-Ross said she checked with police on whether it was safe to release students for the day. She said she was told it was safe.
Gill said a detective responded to the report of shots fired on Rotterdam because he had no patrol officers available. Gill himself broke up the mob on Baker Street.
The incidents occurred just days before Saturday’s march to promote peace and unity in the city."
