Suicide

Police said they received a report at around 10 a.m. of an armed robbery that had just occurred in the area of Catalpa Drive and Buckingham Avenue. Hazel Park officers reportedly stopped a Dodge Durango with dark tinted windows near Russell Street and Eight Mile in Detroit with an American flag hanging upside down. A witness said police told the driver through a loudpeaker to roll down the window, put his hands out, and to throw his ID out the window. The witness said he then heard what sounded like a small-caliber gunshot. The driver didn't exit the SUV and a standoff ensued. According to the witness, police "couldn't see through the windows and about a half hour later they threw rocks to break out the back window. I gave them a brick to throw." Police reportedly shattered the back window of the SUV with a rock to find the man dead inside.
