Both men were arraigned on the charges Friday, March 20, in Clare County District Court in Harrison.

The charges come after a Franklin Township store clerk called 911 on the afternoon of Thursday, March 19, reporting a man in the store was saying he shot someone.

Police responded about 2:28 p.m. Thursday to the location and said they found the two suspects and a 32-year-old gunshot victim all intoxicated in a nearby residence and observed "clear evidence on scene that supported the report of some type of physical altercation involving gunfire."

Police allege Gallaty shot Compton's 32-year-old son during a physical altercation.

Gallaty exited the home after troopers made verbal contact, police said.

The gunshot victim came out of the residence after troopers attempted for more than an hour to convince him to do so to receive medical attention, police said.

Police allege Compton refused to cooperate with police and remained in the home until 6:21 p.m., when he exited after the arrival of the Michigan State Police Emergency Support Team.

Gallaty and Compton were lodged at the Clare County Jail. Gallaty's bond was set at $100,000 cash/surety/10 percent. Compton's bond was set at $20,000 cash/surety/10 percent.

The gunshot victim was treated for his injuries at a hospital and stayed overnight because of a high blood-alcohol content, police said.
