LANSING – Two people were shot in the city’s Westside neighborhood late Tuesday afternoon.

Lansing police responded to a reported shooting at the corner of Riddle and West Allegan streets in the city after 3 p.m. and found two men with gunshot wounds, said Jordan Gulkis, Lansing police public information director. Both were taken to an area hospital by the Lansing Fire Department, she added.

The crime scene is located directly east of Riddle Elementary School.

The men’s condition is unknown, Gulkis said, and no one has been taken into custody in connection with the shooting.

Numerous police officers were on site and a section of Riddle Street between Chelsea Avenue and West Allegan was cordoned off shortly before 4 p.m.

Inside the police cordon, personal items were apparently lying on the street.

Lansing Police Chief Rob Backus was on site.

Lansing School District spokesman Robert Kolt said Riddle Elementary was not on lockdown and referred questions to Lansing police. He said no students were in the building at the time of the shooting.

However, the school district’s website lists the end time for Riddle Elementary School students as 3:50 p.m. Some parents were seen in private vehicles picking up their students around 4 p.m. Several buses for at least some Lansing Riddle students arrived at the school shortly after 4 p.m. and the children were loaded onto the buses.

The district said in a letter to parents that restricted access was imposed for Riddle on Tuesday afternoon so families could pick up their children.

Anyone with a doorbell or security camera that may have captured the area of ​​the shooting Tuesday afternoon is asked to contact Lansing Police at (517) 483-4600.
