On July 8th at approximately 2:30AM, Kalamazoo Public Safety Officers responded to a articulated threat from individuals to shoot at an occupied house in the 1000 block of Cameron St. Credible information was received that included vehicle information and suspect descriptions. Officers soon located the vehicle and upon attempting a traffic stop, it fled the area. The vehicle appeared to be a stolen auto from Portage PD and, with the threat of extreme violence, Public Safety pursued the vehicle.
