3 DETROIT POLICE OFFICERS WOUNDED IN AMBUSH
DETROIT, MICHIGAN -- Two men surrendered Sunday for questioning about
an ambush on police cars that wounded three officers, two of them
critically. An uninjured officer said the gunfire was so heavy that
the impact of bullets shook the car he was in.
The attack began early Sunday while the officers were investigating
the kidnapping of a woman and her child, an abduction that appeared to
be connected to drugs, Police Chief Benny Napoleon said.
No warrants had been issued for the two men who turned themselves in,
and police wouldn't characterize the nature of the
questioning.
During a chase, two police vehicles were struck by shots fired through
a van's rear window by what appeared to be a "high-power, assault-type
weapon," Napoleon said.
Officer Shawn Bandy, 23, was on life support and in very critical
condition. Officer Lloyd Todd underwent surgery and also was in
critical condition.
