At 6:50 a.m., at 19700 Livernois, a woman in her 40s was found shot multiple times, police said.

At 7:10 a.m. in the area of 19200 Pennington, a man was shot after noticing the suspect looking inside cars. The victim confronted him and the suspect shot him once, according to investigators.

“To the families and friends of these victims, we will continue to work to get this suspect into custody. We again are prepared and have all assets deployed and will have a layered approach,” said Chief White.

DPD, MSP, and their helicopters have been activated. ATF, FBI, and Homeland Security are also actively involved in the investigation.

“Nobody in this department wants a violent confrontation with this individual,” said Mayor Duggan. It’s not safe for our officers, our perpetrators or civilians. The sooner we can intervene, and we have mental health specialists on site if that turns out to be needed, we will do it quickly. But this is a case where I think someone from the public calling will bring this to an end.”

Police believe the suspect is armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 and not to approach him.
