Michigan State Police shot an armed man in Livonia early Monday following a chase that began after the man's wife was shot in the parking lot of a local business.

The man, who suffered a gunshot wound to the head after police pulled him over on westbound I-96, near Newburgh, is suspected of shooting his wife in the back and left leg at the FedEx depot on Amrhein, police said. Both were being treated Monday at a local hospital.

Police recovered a long gun, thought to have been used to shoot the woman, after the chase. The suspect did not shoot at MSP troopers, Livonia Lt. Charles Lister said.

The Livonia Police Department and the state police were conducting a joint investigation.

The incident began at about 3:20 a.m. in the parking lot at FedEx, Lister said. The woman was arriving to work there when she was shot twice, then she and her husband left in a blue Chevrolet Malibu, Lister said.

Police, with information about the incident and a description of the Malibu, spotted the car at Newburgh and Amrhein and began following it, Lister said. A chase ensued, with the Malibu heading east on I-96, exiting at Telegraph in Redford Township and turning around to enter the freeway and head west, he said.

Two troopers in an MSP vehicle joined the chase near Levan Road, Lister said, and the Malibu's driver pulled over near Newburgh before being shot by at least one trooper. Livonia officers were at the scene, but not involved in the use of force, he said.

The female victim is age 25 and the male suspect 26 and both are of Detroit, Lister said.
