Dearborn police provide update on Hampton Inn shooting situation
Police provide an update after a shooter opened fire at the Hampton Inn on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn.
DEARBORN, Mich. (FOX 2) – A suspected shooter is barricaded inside the Dearborn Hampton Inn as police continue negotiations after a person was shot.
Police said the suspect, who is armed with a long gun, is in containment but not in custody and warned the suspect may shoot again. People should avoid the “extremely dangerous” area, Michigan State Police said.
“I know our curiosity gets to us and we want to see what’s going on, but it’s a very fluid situation,” said MSP Lt. Michael Shaw.
Negotiations are ongoing.
“At this point, it will be a waiting game,” said Dearborn Police Chief Issa Shahin.
The situation began when police received a call about shots being fired at the hotel at 22324 Michigan Ave.
“There was some sort of argument with the hotel staff,” Shahin said, though he said he couldn’t confirm whether the person shot was an employee. “We think it was all about the money.”
The police evacuated the hotel and took one victim to the hospital. Although police are not saying if the victim is deceased, FOX 2 sources have confirmed that she is deceased.
