A suspect is in custody following a shooting that injured three and killed one person in downtown Detroit at midnight Saturday, Detroit police said. The incident included an officer-involved shooting, as Detroit police attempted to apprehend the suspect.

"This city deserves better than what was experienced last night," Detroit Police Chief James White said in a news release. "Thankfully, because of the diligent efforts of our officers, this suspect is in custody and no longer a threat to the officers or our community."

The incident began when officers heard gunshots from near a parking structure and saw crowds running away near Randolph and Monroe Streets, White said.

Responding officers followed a suspect armed with a handgun fleeing into the parking structure. The suspect later pointed the weapon at the lead officer while attempting to flee the scene with another suspect in a black Mazda, White said. The officer fired a single shot, hitting the suspect, he said.

The suspect then fled the scene in the Mazda and police later identified the suspect with a gunshot wound at a local hospital, White said. Officers then took the suspect into custody.
