“Two Lansing police officers and the accused were shot and transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries,” Sosebee said. He did not have specific information about the injuries.

The chief did not identify the officers or the suspect.

The incident occurred around 11:15 a.m. on the city’s south side, he said.

Michigan State Police have taken over the investigation, Sosebee said.
