WASHINGTON - A gunman walked into a precinct police station Sunday afternoon in Detroit and opened fire, wounding four officers before he was shot and killed by police.

Detroit Police chief Ralph Godbee Jr. said that all four officers were alive and expected to survive, despite serious wounds.

Authorities said that the man walked into the station after 4 p.m. (2100 GMT) with a pistol grip shotgun and opened fire without warning.

“We returned fire,” Godbee said. “He is deceased.”

Police were investigating the gunman’s identity, and his motives were as yet unknown, Godbee said.
