Five people believed to be responsible for a rash of shootings in Benton Harbor have been arrested.
Michigan State Police troopers were headed to a disturbance call at River Terrace Apartments, late Thursday night, Sep. 3, when they spotted the suspect vehicle while en route to the complex.
Investigators say the driver had a pistol in plain sight. A search of the vehicle turned up 8 guns, 4 long guns, extended magazines, ammunition and body armor. The driver and four passengers were arrested on a slew of charges.
Police believe their arrests thwarted a planned shooting that was going to take place.

BLM , not.
Look, I’m glad they caught the perps…but “extended” magazines? Really? Does that mean they extend beyond what exactly?
They caught criminals with firearms, if they were prior felons that would give it more weight, since they were being sought for active felonies it’s obvious they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent.
No need to throw out meaningless descriptions just to make it sound more on gun control point.
Indeed, I only see two long guns (the wood stocked AK and the shotgun), since those AR platforms are pistols under the convoluted mess that is our current gun control framework. They deliberately make compliance confusing for a reason, after all…
