WESTLAND, Mich. (FOX 2) - A shooting inside a Westland home ended with two people dead and one injured on Monday, police said.
"The Westland Police Department responded to a home in the 2300 block of Deerfield Court at approximately 6:15 p.m.," according to a police release. "Responding officers forced entry to the home and discovered three victims, two deceased and one injured."
Neighbors told FOX 2 the incident was a murder-suicide; the shooter allegedly killed his boyfriend's handicapped mother, shot his boyfriend in the head, and then turned the gun on himself after barricading inside with the victims.
"The guy next door was hanging out of his window, asking people, somebody to help him because he didn't have a phone," said Tom Sparks, who lives next door in the same duplex.
Sparks even shares a wall with the victim.
"I got my grandkids out of there because we didn't know if he was shooting towards the walls or not," he said.
One injured man was transported to a local hospital after a shooter opened fire inside a Westland home on Monday, March 11, 2024. Another person was fatally shot.
The injured man was taken to a local hospital; his condition remains unknown.
It is still unclear what sparked the shooter to grab a weapon and start firing.
"I'm kind of getting scared about this neighborhood now," Sparks said.
Police are still investigating the incident.
