According to authorities, the shooting happened at about 4:40 p.m. at the police station, located near the intersection of Nine Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue. Police said two groups of people met at the police department to exchange custody of a child and a 26-year-old man was shot in the face by the 23-year-old boyfriend of the child’s mother.
The victim was rushed to a hospital where he is in critical condition, but he is expected to survive.
Police said the suspected gunman has been taken into police custody.
Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said that the the two groups knew each other and there is no threat to the general public.
