Last Thursday, Battle Creek police officers recovered two fi****ms during an investigation involving several young people near Greenwood Avenue and Hubbard Street. A 16-year-old was arrested on weapons charges.

Unfortunately, this case is not an isolated incident.

Since February, our department has recovered 67 illegally possessed fi****ms. More than one-third of those fi****ms were recovered from individuals age 20 or younger.

Every illegally possessed firearm removed from our community is one less opportunity for that weapon to be used in a violent crime, an accidental shooting, or another preventable tragedy.

Keeping illegal fi****ms off our streets is not something law enforcement can do alone. It takes community members who are willing to speak up when something doesn't seem right.

If you know someone is illegally carrying or possessing a firearm, please don't wait until someone gets hurt. Contact the Battle Creek Police Department at 269-781-0911 or submit an anonymous tip through Silent Observer at 269-964-3888.

Our hearts are with a local family following a tragic vehicle-pedestrian crash Thursday evening at Capital Avenue SW and East Burnham Street.

A 1-year-old girl died after she and three other pedestrians were struck while crossing the roadway. A 30-year-old woman remains in critical condition, and two children, ages 9 and 5, suffered significant injuries but are expected to survive.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators. At this time, investigators do not believe alcohol use or speed were factors in the crash.

The investigation remains ongoing.
