Officers
responded at about 3:45 a.m. EST (0745 GMT) to a call
complaining about noise coming from a large party inside a store
at the mall and were notified of the shooting while en route,
the Grand Rapids Police Department said in a statement.
A man in his early 20s was found dead inside the store from an
apparent gunshot. Eight other victims were taken to hospitals
where they were also treated for gunshot wounds. None of the
victims were immediately identified.
About 60 to 80 people had gathered for the party, a CBS
affiliate said on Sunday.
A police spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for
comment on the conditions of those injured and the
investigation.
