OSHTEMO TOWNSHIP, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Police say a suspect is dead and two other people are injured after a stabbing and shooting incident in Oshtemo Township this morning.
The Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office says just after 7:00 a.m. Friday, a call came in about a suicidal person armed with a knife at a home at Chippendale Drive and Morningstar Way.
When deputies arrived at the home, the Sheriff’s Department says the suspect “engaged deputies and shots were fired.”
State Police Lt. DuWayne Robinson said the man who was killed by a deputy had injured two people inside the home before the deputy arrived, according to WWMT-TV.
A neighbor told WOOD TV 8 they heard three gunshots, and the television station says it has confirmed the suspect is dead.
Deputies say two people were stabbed, but their conditions are unclear.
Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller says the investigation has been handed over to the Michigan State Police.
