Published 2 years ago
On the morning of November 27th, 2021, officers from the Kalamazoo Police Department (KPD) were dispatched to the Kalamazoo Metro Transportation Center, located at 530 N. Rose St., in response to an active shooter.
At approximately 9:15 a.m., Kalamazoo city bus drivers reported a male subject chasing citizens around the area and shooting them. As shown in the surveillance camera footage, the suspect, identified 54-year-old Anthony Oliver, is observed chasing innocent people around the bus station and onto buses, while simultaneously shooting them.
Oliver shot and wounded a 47-year-old woman, a 46-year-old man, and a 61-year-old man, before Kalamazoo officers arrived on the scene. Due to the circumstances of an active shooter status, officers immediately shot and neutralized Oliver. As depicted in the body camera footage, two officers engaged Oliver, striking him multiple times.
Oliver was rendered medical aid and transported to an area hospital where he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased. All the victims involved in the incident were taken to an area hospital and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
All officers involved have been placed on administrative leave for the time being, while a further investigation is conducted to understand the motive behind Oliver's actions.
