"grand rapids, mich. (wood) — a man was found fatally shot in grand rapids’ Burton heights neighborhood monday afternoon, within blocks of where two other people were found dead in the street only hours earlier, a spate of violence the police chief called 'absolutely insane.'

"the young adult man was found shot dead shortly before 4 p.m. on Horton avenue just south of Burton street se. his name was not immediately released.

“'this is obviously an expansion of the tragedy from this morning,' grand rapids police department chief Eric Winstrom said.

"he could not immediately say for certain whether the shooting was connected to the two morning deaths, but said it seemed unlikely they were separate.

“'it’s possible it isn’t (related), but I’m guessing it is,' he said.

"he added that none of the deaths were believed to be the result of random violence.

“'we haven’t pieced together exactly how they fit together, but I don’t think there’s any danger to the community at large.'"

GRA: (at large now, chuckle.)
