Eby said officers in the building returned fire,
killing the man.
Shot were Commander Brian Davis, Sgt. Ray Saati
and Officer David Anderson, police said. A fourth
person, a female sergeant whose name was not
released, was also hit. The four have been
transported to Sinai Grace hospital in Detroit.
Eby called the incident “absolutely horrifying.”
Michigan State Police are at the scene blocking
traffic.
Tina Taylor, a spokeswoman for Sinai Grace
hospital said no information was being released
about wounded officers and that all details
would have to come from Detroit police.
