Authorities are in Mt. Clemens negotiating with a barricaded gunman who they say shot at deputies twice. Macomb County Sheriff's deputies were at the man's home after he allegedly fired a gun during a dispute with a neighbor.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich. (FOX 2) - A Mt. Clemens barricaded gunman is in custody after shooting at Macomb County Sheriff's deputies Monday.

Authorities said the man, who is in his 60s and known to the Sheriff's Office, got into a dispute with a neighbor over a dog at a home on Clinton near Gratiot around noon. During that argument, he came outside and fired shots, and deputies were called.

When deputies arrived, authorities said he came out and shot at them twice. The second time, a deputy shot back, and the man went inside.
