A suburban Detroit police officer was recovering in a hospital Monday after he was shot by a man who entered a police station and began firing, officials say. Officers in the station returned fire and killed the alleged gunman, the Detroit Free Press reported. The 64-year-old suspect entered the Southfield police station about 2:20 p.m. Sunday and attempted to shoot an officer at an information desk behind protective glass in the lobby, officials said. The gun did not initially discharge, but the suspect shot at other officers as they responded. The desk officer, 50, was shot in the shoulder. He was wearing protective gear, officials said. The alleged assailant, from Southfield, was shot multiple times. The officer and the suspect were taken to a hospital, where the suspect died on arrival. Hospital officials said the officer was expected to make a full recovery. The name of the assailant was not released pending notification of relatives. Police declined to release the name of the officer, who they said was a 25-year veteran of the force. Southfield Police Chief Eric Hawkins said a motive for the shooting had not yet been determined.
