Walled Lake man fatally shot after killing his wife, dog, and injuring daughter
WALLED LAKE, Mich. (FOX 2) - A man from Walled Lake fatally shot his wife, their dog, and shot his daughter who is currently at a hospital.
Officials said the shooting happened at their family home around 4:00 a.m. at the 1200 block of Glenwood Court.
Police say they received a 911 call from a woman who stated her father shot her and her mother but did not get the location of the incident.
Police were able to trace the call to a home on Glenwood and responded to the area. While officers were talking to a neighbor, they heard more gunshots coming from a home in the area.
As they approached the home, a man, later identified as 53-year-old Igor Lanis, fired shots at officers and deputies. They returned fire, fatally striking the suspect.
"Suspect exits the home and opens fire, the Walled Lake officer is over here - the home directly behind him gets struck multiple times by the suspect fire, in fact, it blew out the front window on the door," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
Officers entered the home and found Landis' 25-year-old daughter trying to crawl out of the house after being shot multiple times. She was transported to a nearby hospital and is currently in stable condition.
Her 56-year-old mom and the family dog were found shot to death inside the home.
"He often walked his dog. He had a fluffy white dog that we would often see; the dog was beautiful just how we knew him, the guy with the fluffy white dog," said Victoria Whitnauer, a neighbor.
No officers were injured during the incident.
Officers from Walled Lake, Novi, Wixom, and the Oakland County Sheriff's Office responded to the scene. The Oakland County Sheriff's office is handling the investigation.
