Saline police respond to active shooter situation; suspect in custody
SALINE, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - The Saline Police Department responded to an active shooter situation Thursday morning.
UPDATE: Woman, 40, dies after Saline parking lot shooting
At about 11:30 a.m. Saline officers responded to the 600 Block Woodland Drive, for calls of an active shooter situation.
When officers responded they discovered the scene was at the UAW Local 892 building parking lot and not the assisted living center. Police say the incident is believed to be a domestic situation.
Two people were shot and taken to an area hospital. The victim, a 40-year-old female, is in critical condition. A 55-year-old male is in stable condition. The suspect, a 58-year-old male is in custody.
As the suspect was fleeing the scene, he was involved in a head-on crash at the intersection of Saline Milan and Willis roads. The suspect was taken into custody after the crash and the weapon has been recovered. The driver of another vehicle involved in the crash was taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Saline Police Chief Marlene Radzik says they were holding an active shooter training at the Saline High School at the same time the incident happened, so there was a quick response time from all agencies.
Police say city and school buildings went into a temporary lockdown.
In addition, police say there is no further threat to the community.
Officials from Linden Square Assisted Living Center say all residents are safe.
