5/28/14 - A suspect is in custody following a Memorial Day shooting in Fenton. Police in Fenton say they are investigating a shooting that took place in the 800 block of North Leroy just before 1pm on Monday. Chief Rick Aro tells WHMI a call was received at 12:50pm, reporting that a resident had been shot by a male neighbor with a semiautomatic pistol. Police arrived within three minutes and took the neighbor into custody. First aid for the victim was started at the scene, and he was eventually taken by Stat EMS to Genesys Regional Medical Center, where he was last listed in stable condition. Aro says he was shot in the lower extremities and suffered non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing, but Aro says there was an ongoing dispute between the alleged shooter and the victim which culminated in the shooting. The dispute apparently included issues such as pets, lawn maintenance, property lines, and other common sources of disagreement between neighbors. He expects charges to be filed in the next 24 hours.
