Two people are dead and two others are hospitalized at Lakeland in St. Joseph following a pair of overnight shootings in Benton Harbor. Authorities don’t know if the shootings are connected. In the first, public safety officers were breaking up a house party around 1:30 a.m. in the 1000 block of Lavette and heard several gunshots from a block away. A few minutes later, Berrien County dispatchers notified the officers that someone had been shot several times and was now at the hospital, where he died. As they were investigating that shooting, another call came in at 3:30 a.m. that several people had been shot at a home on Edgecumbe near Forest. One man died, and two others are in critical condition. Police found multiple shell casings at the site, and believe several weapons were involved. No names are being released yet, and no arrests have been made.
