Gunman Shoots 4 Officers

AP – Detroit police stand outside the precinct 6 building in northwest Detroit where a gunman walked into …

In Detroit, a gunman went into a police precinct and shot 4 officers. The gunman was shot down by officers.


The gunman walked in through the precinct's revolving door shortly after 4 p.m. and opened fire indiscriminately at officers, police said. The officers fired back, killing the gunman.

"Utter chaos and pandemonium took place," Police Chief Ralph Godbee said at a news conference. "We have a number of officers who are shaken up."

Godbee said the gunman has been identified but it was "too early to characterize" him while the investigation was ongoing.

The chief said along with the commander, two sergeants and an officer were wounded, but none appeared to have life-threatening injuries.

The commander, who was shot in the back, appeared to be the most seriously wounded. Godbee said he underwent surgery Sunday evening and his prognosis was "very good." A sergeant and an officer who each suffered graze gunshot wounds to the head were both talking and alert, Godbee said.

A female sergeant also was treated and released after her bullet-resistant vest deflected a bullet to the chest, Godbee said.

I suppose the fact that right-wingers typically support the police and their efforts are what caused this man to shoot the officer's. I can hear it now.
