Wayne State Police Chief Anthony Holt said Wednesday that he does not believe the shooting of officer Collin Rose on Tuesday evening "was an ambush." Rose was shot in the head while on patrol near a university campus in Detroit.
Holt says a suspect is in custody, but he has not been charged. He says no weapon has been recovered and an investigation is ongoing.
Holt says Rose's condition is "very grave" and the outcome is uncertain. He adds that the officer was one of the best canine handlers in the U.S.
Wayne State University spokesman Matt Lockwood said Wednesday morning that 29-year-old officer Collin Rose remains hospitalized in critical condition following the Tuesday night shooting. Lockwood says Michigan highway patrol officers escorted Rose's parents from their home to be with their son.
Lockwood says Rose graduated from Ferris State University in 2010 and was his fraternity's president. He says Rose is involved in cycling and a dog-training club. Rose's first job as an officer was with the village of Richland and he was a cadet with the New Baltimore Police Department.
