Overview
- Officers responded to a late‑night domestic disturbance at an apartment complex and say a man inside pointed a firearm at an officer, prompting one officer to discharge a weapon toward the unit.
- The man initially refused to leave and spoke by phone with police negotiators, who say he told them he had been struck before he eventually exited, surrendered and was taken to a hospital for a minor injury.
- Police reported no other injuries to officers or residents after the encounter and described the injured man’s wound as minor.
- Dearborn Heights Police Chief Mike Guzowski said officers faced a life‑threatening situation, praised their training and thanked neighboring agencies for their assistance.
- The department says an internal investigation is continuing and has not released the suspect’s identity, forensic findings or any charging decisions, which could determine next legal and departmental steps.
