An argument turned into gunfire Tuesday at the Pilot Travel Center on Napier Avenue at I-94 in Benton Charter Township, but fortunately nobody was hit in the incident. Nevertheless, police are asking for help in following up on the case.
Benton Township Detective Sgt. Tyler Tiefenbach says his department was called out to the popular truck stop at 1860 E. Napier Avenue upon reports of shots fired inside the business. Officers found evidence in the store of shots being fire in the shop.
Authorities learned that two black men approached a couple of teens aged 17 and 18 and started an argument. The incident escalated to a point that gunfire erupted, but neither teen was hit.
Tiefenbach says no further information is available on the incident, but the investigation is continuing. He is asking anyone with information to contact the Benton Township Police Department at (269) 925-1135 or Crime Stoppers at (574) 288-STOP.
