DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — A man was shot and killed by police early Saturday after officers noticed a fire at a suburban Detroit mosque, authorities said.
The armed man fled from the Dearborn mosque and fired at police before he was killed, Dearborn police said.
Police said he refused orders to drop his weapon. No officers were injured.
“This was a tragic incident for our faith community and the Dearborn community overall that unfortunately led to a loss of life,” Chief Issa Shahin said.
State police and Detroit police will investigate, Shahin said.
