Off-Duty Deputy Shoots Party Intruder

WDIV Detroit

An off-duty Wayne County deputy shot and killed a masked gunman who interrupted a party early Sunday morning.

Police said a party was winding down around 4:30 a.m. at a house on Detroit's southwest side when two armed masked men broke in.

Homeowner Victor Akrawi said the two men broke in his front door, told everyone to get down and started firing.

"No matter where you are, there are always people trying to get you," Akrawi said.

Police said one was carrying a shotgun and another a handgun.
