ORION TOWNSHIP, MI ~ A mother was shot early Tuesday evening next to her young son during a carjacking incident in Orion Township.
The suspect, a 25-year-old Ann Arbor man, shot the woman in the parking lot of the Baldwin Commons Plaza in Oakland County, before driving off in her car, heading northbound. Multiple police units led to a brief manhunt that found the car crashed in nearby Groveland Township, and later saw the suspect captured and taken into custody by police.
Police believe the attack was random, with police believing the suspect was waiting to spot a victim from a nearby Panera. The suspect is currently on probation for a separate assault case.
The woman faced a serious gunshot wound to the hip and lost a lot of blood, but is expected to recover from her injuries.
