"It's happening every weekend. It starts Thursday, Friday, Saturday night. Anywhere from 2 to 6 o'clock in the morning."

One resident who didn't want to be on camera tells us it was only a matter of time before parties at former D.T. McClean Car Care in Lansing's Old Town got out of hand.

"Shots were fired, multiple shots and at least three people were hit one time with gunfire," says Lt. Mike Yankowski with the Lansing Police Dept.

Police responded around 5 a.m. Sunday. They say at least 25 people were at a party when a fight broke out.

"When officers arrived on scene, they found one of the shooting victims still on scene. They were informed by witnesses that two of the other victims were placed in private cars and taken to a local hospital," says Yankowski.

Yankowski says the victims are in critical but stable condition.

"The victims are all male. Two are from Battle Creek area and one is a Lansing resident."

Police tell us this building is now an after-hours motorcycle club. Residents say there are parties here every weekend, and it's not the first time they heard shots fired.

"If you have guns fired every weekend, how do you know someone isn't going to get shot in your house? Bullets go through houses and windows all the time," says one resident.

Residents say they hope police will now take action to ensure the safety of the neighborhood.

Police are still interviewing witnesses and hope to get a statement from the victims. If you have any information, contact Lansing Police at (517) 483-4600.
