LANSING - Police say three people were shot, one fatally, Saturday afternoon inside a barbershop near the intersection of Kalamazoo and Shepard streets on Lansing's east side.

Two of the victims were transported to local hospitals by ambulance, and another victim showed up at a local hospital with a gunshot wound.

In a release Saturday evening, Lansing Police Chief Mike Yankowski said a Lansing man, 29, died as a result of his injuries.

The other two victims, an 18-year-old Lansing resident and a 23-year-old Detroit resident, suffered non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, Yankowski said in the release.

No arrests have been made.

The incident occurred at Kutt II, a barbershop in the 1600 block of Kalamazoo Street. The neighborhood is north of Interstate 496 and west of U.S. 127.
