*A Kalamazoo man was arraigned Monday on multiple felony charges after authorities say he opened fire during a baby shower at a Girl Scouts facility on Sunday, injuring two people and raising new questions about safety at rented community spaces.*

Pharrell Norman Stacy, 22, faces two counts of assault with intent to murder, three counts of felony firearm and one count of discharging a firearm in a building causing injury. The charges stem from a shooting at the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan Kalamazoo Regional Program and Training Center located at 601 W Maple Street.

KDPS responded to the scene around 5:30 p.m. Sunday after receiving reports of a nonfatal shooting that injured two 25-year-old men.

The two men were brought to a nearby hospital and are expected to recover. KDPS said the incident began with a verbal dispute that escalated into a physical altercation inside the facility, near the lobby.

One of the victims was found outside when officers arrived, suffering from gunshot wounds to both legs.

Investigators said the second victim was found inside the building, suffering gunshot wounds to the chest and lower body. KDPS said one of the men was released later that day while the other remains in stable condition.

No Girl Scouts staff or members were injured in the shooting.

A spokesperson from Girl Scouts said the shooting happened when an outside group was renting out the building.

KDPS searched the building and found Stacy hiding in a lower-level closet.

Authorities said he complied with their commands and was taken into custody without any further incident. KDPS recovered a forearm from the scene.

Stacy is being held on a $100,000 bond.

KDPS asked anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has information about it to contact the KDPS Criminal Investigations Division at 269-337-8139.
