SAGINAW, MI – August 2, 2025 – A sense of urgency and deep concern swept through a Saginaw neighborhood on Saturday evening as police launched an active shooting investigation on Parkside Court, following a violent incident that left one person critically injured.
According to preliminary information from the Saginaw Police Department, the situation began to unfold in the early evening hours, prompting a rapid and heavy response from both law enforcement officers and emergency medical services. Officers were dispatched to the scene after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting gunfire in the residential area.
Upon arrival, police found a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. Emergency personnel administered immediate life-saving aid before transporting him to a nearby hospital, where he is currently undergoing treatment. His identity and condition have not yet been officially released, but authorities describe his injuries as serious.
The neighborhood, located just off the heart of Saginaw, was quickly cordoned off as officers secured the area and began canvassing for witnesses, surveillance footage, and any possible leads. Detectives with the department’s Major Crimes Unit are now actively investigating the shooting, working diligently to determine the events that led to the violence.
Police have not yet confirmed whether any suspects have been identified or apprehended, and they have not publicly commented on a possible motive. Investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward as the investigation remains open and active.
“This kind of violence is not what we want to see in our community,” said one officer at the scene. “Our priority is getting justice for the victim and ensuring the safety of the people who live here.”
As officers combed the scene for evidence, neighbors watched anxiously from their porches and windows, shaken by the sudden eruption of gunfire in their typically quiet community. The incident has left many residents feeling uneasy and searching for answers in the wake of the unexpected violence.
“This is heartbreaking,” said one woman who lives nearby. “We just want our streets to be safe—for our children, our families, for everyone. We’re praying for the young man who was hurt and for peace in our neighborhood.”
The city of Saginaw has battled with incidents of gun violence in the past, but community leaders, law enforcement, and residents have worked hard in recent years to rebuild trust and prioritize safety. Saturday’s shooting is a sobering reminder that there is still work to be done.
As the investigation continues, officials are encouraging anyone with information to contact the Saginaw Police Department or to submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245).
