An off-duty police officer was killed late Sunday in a Garden City home on Belton Street in what authorities are calling a domestic shooting, according to police and local news reports.

Detroit police confirmed Monday that the officer was shot and killed, and said Garden City police were investigating.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Monday that Sgt. Elaine Williams was "a rising star in this police department."

According to news reports, police received a call about a shooting at about 11:40 p.m.

The female officer's body was found in the home near Cherry Hill Road, and, police said, a second person, who was found injured — also shot — outside the house, was taken to a hospital for treatment.
