One Officer Killed, Four Wounded in Early Morning Gunfire in Detroit Home

One officer killed, four wounded in early morning shootout in Northeast Detroit residence. Suspected gunman injured.

Tragedy has struck the ranks of law enforcement once again. One police officer has been killed and four others wounded in a barrage of shots early Monday morning in Detroit. According to Detroit News, police received a call either about a breaking and entering or shots fired at an abandoned duplex at about 3:30 a.m. As officers approached the yellow brick building, described as a drug house, they were met with gunfire, which killed the unidentified officer, who was a 12-year veteran of the force and a married father of a son.

The four other wounded officers were taken to St. John Hospital and are expected to recover. The suspected gunman was also wounded and was taken to the same hospital. I hope he will survive to face justice.
