RawNews1st – The trooper was in critical condition after he was shot while with an undercover narcotics unit conducting surveillance early Tuesday. The suspect is still at large.
The unit was conducting surveillance on the city’s west side at 1:30 a.m. when “they took fire by an unknown suspect” and the male trooper was struck, Michigan State Police’s Second District said.
Police said the suspect in the shooting was still at large while warning of a possible barricaded suspect situation. Officials told residents to avoid the area and stay in their homes.
The state police’s Emergency Support Team, which handles highly dangerous and critical incidents facing law enforcement such as barricaded situations, honed in on the apartment where the shots may have been fired from.
“We’re asking residents to stay barricaded at home. Don’t come out, don’t try to see what’s going on because we are just aren’t sure where he is,” said Police Lt. Mike Shaw.
“And since he’s already fired at us, it’s probably not likely that he’s not going to fire at somebody walking through that neighborhood.”
Investigators are still searching for a suspect, and no description has been released.
