Lansing Shooting, Gas Prices Drop, and State Capitol Rally for Charlie Kirk: Sept. 15 News Update

LANSING, Mich. – Lansing police are investigating another shooting after officers found a man with a gunshot wound to the chest near Crego Park late Sunday. The victim was located in the area of Aurelius and Malcolm X streets and is currently in critical but stable condition. No arrests have been made.

Commuters in Eaton County should plan for delays this week. Single-lane closures are in effect on westbound I-96 between Creyts and Lansing roads through Friday due to ongoing construction.

Meanwhile, drivers are seeing some relief at the pump. AAA Michigan reports the Lansing-area average dropped to $2.89 per gallon as of Sunday, down 16 cents from last week. The statewide average stands at $3.05, a decrease of 11 cents.

At the state Capitol, Michigan Republicans will gather today to honor conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was shot and killed last week. The rally is scheduled for 4 p.m. on the Capitol steps. In response to heightened safety concerns following Kirk’s death, the Lansing NAACP chapter has canceled a city council forum and mayoral debate originally scheduled for Tuesday at Union Missionary Baptist Church. Organizers cited recent political violence and bomb threats at historically Black colleges and universities as reasons for postponement.

In legislative news, Michigan lawmakers have introduced a “click to cancel” package of bills aimed at strengthening consumer protections. The measures would require companies to provide online cancellation options for subscriptions purchased online, as well as advance notice before automatic renewals. The package includes two bills in the House and two in the Senate—all four must pass to become law.

On the national front, the Trump administration is renewing its push to remove former MSU economics professor Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, citing mortgage fraud allegations. Cook was reinstated last week after a judge ruled her removal illegal.

And over the weekend, dozens turned out for the Capital City Dragon Boat Races hosted by the Women’s Center of Greater Lansing. The event celebrated healing, fitness, and the legacy of a founding director who lost her battle with breast cancer.
