A Michigan State Police trooper shot an armed man who appeared suicidal in Muskegon Township on Monday evening, authorities said. The suspect was taken to a local hospital and is now in stable condition following the incident.

The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. at a residence on South Sheridan Avenue in Muskegon Township, according to Michigan State Police. Muskegon Township Police Department was the first agency on scene after receiving a call about an armed, suicidal man.

"Upon [troopers'] arrival, a subject did present a firearm and a trooper did return fire, striking that subject."

Detective Lt. Ian Fields with MSP's Fifth District confirmed the trooper fired their weapon when the man presented a gun. No law enforcement officers or members of the community were injured during the encounter.

The trooper who shot the man has been placed on administrative leave, which is department policy following an officer-involved shooting. Once the investigation is complete, it will be submitted to the Michigan Department of Attorney General for review.

The man who was shot was described as being in critical condition initially. Tuesday's update from state police described his condition as stable. He was transported to a local hospital for treatment.

No ongoing threat exists to the public, according to state police. Authorities asked people to stay clear of the area while they conduct their investigation.

The Michigan State Police Fifth District Investigative Response Team is currently investigating the incident.
