Oakland County Sheriff's deputies say a 37-year-old Auburn Hills man was arrested following a shooting Sunday afternoon at Wisner Stadium which injured a 19-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, both from Pontiac.

On Sunday just after 1 p.m., officials were called out to Wisner Stadium for a reported shooting. When they arrived, deputies found the 19-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to the buttock. They later found the 27-year-old victim with a gunshot wound to the head. Both were shot with a handgun, according to police.

"Taking a personal conflict and escalating it to shooting them is never acceptable," Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said. "Even worse, doing it at an unrelated youth event. I look forward to the suspect being held fully accountable."

The suspect was taken to Oakland County Jail. 

While investigating, officials say the suspect possessed a valid concealed pistol license and the handgun recovered from him was registered in his name.

An investigation is ongoing. The suspect's identity has not been released at this time.
