1 in custody after shooting at Wayne County deputy on I-94 in Detroit

All eastbound lanes of Interstate 94 at Moross Road in Detroit were shut down for hours on Tuesday due to a police investigation that spilled over into Harper Woods. 

According to Wayne County Sheriff Raphael Washington, a law enforcement task force comprising multiple agencies was conducting rolling surveillance targeting a gray SUV traveling eastbound on I-94 around 10 a.m. Tuesday, when someone fired gunshots at a Wayne County deputy in an unmarked vehicle. 

Washington says the deputy, who was not injured in the shooting, pursued the SUV in a residential neighborhood of Harper Woods, where the suspect's vehicle was later found abandoned near Hunt Club and Peerless. 

One suspect was taken into custody, and one gun was recovered from the scene. 

Police are still searching for two suspects. 

Washington believes the other suspects are hiding and that the community is not in danger.

"They need to understand that we will find them," Washington said. "We are looking for them, and we won't stop until we find them. One of our officers was shot at and could have died. We don't take that lightly at all. So we will be out there until we get them in custody."

The Michigan State Police is leading the investigation.
