JACKSON, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say a man, 63, who fatally shot one police officer and wounded another in Jackson has been killed.
Undersheriff Tom Finco tells The Associated Press that Jackson police officer James Bonneau, 26, was fatally shot Tuesday morning and later pronounced dead at a hospital.
Finco said Blackman Township Public Safety Officer Darrin McIntosh, 22, also was wounded and underwent surgery for a non-life-threatening injury. His condition was not immediately known.
Officials say at 12:20 a.m. the two officers entered a home belonging to Elvin Potts of Jackson, in the city about 70 miles west of Detroit.
Police say Potts revealed a handgun and shot at the officers three times. One officer returned fire, killing Potts.
No further information has been released.
