Shooting at Henry Ford St. John Hospital parking lot under investigation, 1 person wounded

Police are investigating a shooting altercation that happened Thursday night between a suspect and security staff at a hospital parking lot in Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan. 

The Grosse Pointe Woods Department of Public Safety said it is investigating the incident, which erupted about 11:53 p.m. Thursday at Henry Ford St. John Hospital on Moross Road.

One of the hospital security officers was looking into suspicious activity in the parking lot when a person opened fire on them, a spokesperson from Henry Ford Health said. The officer fired back, striking one of the suspects, who then received medical treatment at the hospital.

Michigan State Police said they were called about 12:10 a.m. Friday to provide a K-9, evidence technicians and other investigative assistance on the call, and that "several suspects" were involved. 

Henry Ford Health said that the hospital remains open. 

"The safety and well-being of our team members, patients and community is our top priority, and we are grateful our officer was unharmed," the hospital added.

Officers remained on scene early Friday, state police said. 

Grosse Pointe Woods officers said Friday morning that while the investigation is continuing, it is "considered resolved and there is no threat to the public."
