EAST LANSING - Police are looking for three men after a resident fired a shot at them when they broke into his apartment early Tuesday, officials said.

East Lansing police were called to a unit in the Timberlake Apartment complex on Coolidge Road, at about 3 a.m., said Det. Sgt. Chad Connelly.

They found that three men, at least one of them armed with a hand gun, had made it a few feet into the apartment when a resident fired one shot at the men, who then fled.

Police don't think anyone was struck by the gunshot, and don't believe there is currently a risk to the public, Connelly said.

All three suspects were wearing a dark or gray hooded sweatshirt, he said.

He declined to provide more details about the circumstances of the incident because there is still an active investigation.
