Detroit police officer shot, injured during domestic call

DETROIT, Mich. – A Detroit police officer was wounded and a shooter was taken into custody after a standoff on Detroit’s east side Thursday morning.

According to ABC affiliate WXYZ, officers were called to the scene of a domestic dispute where the suspect said he assaulted his wife. Minutes later, the daughter of the suspect called 911 and reported shots were fired.

When authorities arrived, a man with a gun was outside and “looked as if he was about to start shooting,” said police.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Detroit police officer who was shot last night, his family, colleagues and the entire law enforcement community. https://t.co/OrZZ4SmQpM
