MUSKEGON, MI -- A 20-year-old Muskegon woman shot during the deadly melee outside the Muskegon Elks Charity Lodge early Sunday has died after she was struck by gunfire and then run over by a vehicle trying to flee the scene, police said.

The incident was reported at 2 a.m. today, Sunday, Sept. 22, after reports of gunfire were heard outside the Elks Charity Lodge, 149 Ottawa, in the city of Muskegon.

Police arrived to find two males deceased outside the lodge, and the injured woman had been transported to a local hospital for her injuries where she later died.

The woman had been struck by gunfire first, then by a vehicle that ran her over when the driver was trying to flee the scene, police said.

More Gun Fun!

1. Doesn't this belong in the True Crime forum?

I don't see any relations ship to the SOP of this group. Does anybody else?

Every story that involves a firearm doesn't automatically belong here. It's not about gun control or activism, it's not about Outdoor life. It sounds like a True Crime post.

3. Awareness of the continuing slaughter is important. It belongs. Do you?

[DonP]

4. Oh a thousand pardons sir, I didn't see your current Zampolit credentials.

Now what have you actually achieved with all this "awareness"?

"awareness" is its own reward.

5. Yeah - only "good guy shoots bad guy" posts are allowed.

7. We had a good time at the range this weekend.

The SR45 is proving to be a reliable firearm. I'm pretty happy and would recommend on for anyone looking for a fine self defense safety device. I use mine for home defense but I have carried it concealed a few times. It will also be used as a OC pistol during this hunting season.

It kind of sounds like a gang hit.

Sounds like an organized crime problem, not a gun problem.

9. "Sounds like an organized crime problem, not a gun problem." Agreed

It's also clear that some evidently prefer to "fight drunken driving by restricting sober drivers"...

Also, that URL needs to be fixed:

11. I found an important policy point!

Other than the OP's rather celebratory comments about gun fun, I have discovered that I will be using a Rem. 870 shotgun for dove-hunting this Saturday. Got 10 last trip, and word is the birds are still coming in. Now, THAT's fun with guns!
