MSP: Barricaded gunman situation ends in Groveland Township

GROVELAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - A situation involving a barricaded gunman Thursday night in Groveland Township has come to an end.

At about 6:30 p.m., troopers were dispatched to Grange Hall Road near Perryville Road where they spotted a vehicle in the ditch. 

"The driver yelled to the trooper that he was hurt but armed with a gun and may possibly want to further hurt himself.  Troopers and sergeants worked together with Oakland County units and began treating the situation as a barricaded gunman," MSP said in a series of tweets.

Police asked people to stay away from the area as they worked to "bring this to a peaceful resolution."

Around 2 a.m. Friday morning, MSP Second District tweeted that troopers heard a single gunshot fired and an aviation crew did not see any movement from the suspect. He was eventually taken to an area hospital were he was pronounced dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

A 9mm handgun was found at the scene. Troopers cleared the scene shortly after.
