“Now we have an officer who made the ultimate sacrifice. He put his life on the line for you and me,' Chief White said.
The victim, who is a husband and father from the DPD's 2nd Precinct, responded to the call of shots fired at Marlowe and Joy Road at about 7:30 p.m.
"It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform our department and our community that we lost a hero today," said Detroit Police Chief James White. "Our officers are heartbroken.""There is so much violence, it just seems like there is nowhere in this country you can go and be safe," said Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan. "But there is people who don't believe that - they are police officers.
"I've got a family that is grieving. This did not have to happen," White said. "How do you tell a mom and a child what I just had to tell them. It is outrageous."
