According to reports, the Chippewa County Sheriff's Office responded to a reported incident involving a stabbing and shootings in a residence along Lake George Road.

The mother and son tried to flee, but the gunman reportedly chased after them. Evidence at the scene suggested that the man continued firing bullets in their direction as they ran from the house toward St. Mary's River.

Fortunately, neither the mother or son got hit, and authorities were able to find them not long after the incident.

The suspect was found several hours later and was brought to a local hospital for his wounds to be treated. Currently, he is in the custody of Chippewa County Sheriff's Office while the investigation takes place.

The Michigan State Police, Chippewa County Central Dispatch, and U.S. Border Patrol were also on the scene.

If found guilty, the suspect may face a minimum of eight years behind bars for aggravated domestic battery, felonious assault, reckless discharge of a firearm, and felony possession of a firearm, according to FOX 2.

The young boy, on the other hand, is not expected to face any charges, as his actions were adjudged to merely be a form of self-defense.

The names of the people involved in the incident have not been revealed.
