Officer Involved Shooting On Detroit’s West Side

Detroit’s West Side: DPD 6th Precinct Scouts were dispatched to the 6000 block of Westwood for an unknown problem at around 3:01PM, later announced as assistance to bailiffs executing an eviction. The location was triangulated by x/y coordinates. Arriving officers from the 6th Precinct immediately asked for a 6th Precinct supervisor to make the scene.

Officers on the scene called out shots fired and reported an individual was firing on them with a high powered rifle around 3:20PM. No officers were injured at that time and officers did fire their weapons according to dispatch audio. Detroit PD’s SRT/SWAT was recalled and a barricaded gunman incident was declared.

2 suspects were taken into custody and the house was cleared by Metro SRT. It doesn’t appear as if any additional suspects were taken into custody and no injuries were reported on scene.

The scene has been declared secure and ended peacefully without injuries to scouts of suspect(s).

3 Males In Custody Following Pursuit, Shots Fired At Officers

Michigan State Police Trooper 2

Detroit’s SW Side 1004PM Thursday 8 11 2022: A Detroit 4th Precinct Scout attempted a traffic stop on an improperly plated black Dodge Ram at around 10:04PM Thursday evening. The vehicle was occupied by 3 Black males. The occupants fired on the officers from inside the vehicle, striking the Detroit Police Scout Car. No officers were injured.

The 4th Precinct Scouts followed the vehicle and additional shots were fired at officers according to dispatch audio. At one point during the pursuit, the officers returned fire and struck the suspect vehicle in the area of Omaha & Electric.

The pursuit entered the 94 and 39 freeways on several occasions approaching speeds of 115MPH. The suspects ended up Southfield Rd & Snow Ave where a pit maneuver by Michigan State Troopers forced the vehicle to stop. The 3 males bailed from the vehicle. Two of those suspects was taken into custody almost immediately after running towards some ponds, with one running across the 39 Freeway in the area of Southfield Rd across from Lowes Home Improvement in Allen Park, near the ponds. All 3 suspects were taken into custody by responding units from the Michigan State Police, Detroit Police Department and Dearborn PD at around 10:32PM. The weapon used to fire on the officers; described in dispatch audio as an AR15, was also recovered.

Michigan State Police Pit Maneuver

The Southfield Freeway was closed during the investigation.

No officers were injured during the exchange of gunfire. An MSP Trooper did receive ‘bumps and bruises’ during the takedown.
