Livonia police said they responded to the scene of a road-rage incident involving a Detroit police officer on Wednesday.
When police arrived at the scene on westbound Interstate 96 near Stark Road, they found a black SUV with its windows shot out, and a silver Dodge Magnum nearby.
Livonia police Lt. Greg Wynn said the incident started in the area of Fenkell Street and West Outer Drive in Detroit, but ended in Livonia.
The driver of the Magnum was hit by the SUV, and the driver of the SUV fled the scene, police said. The driver of the Magnum then followed the SUV onto westbound I-96. At that point shots were fired from the Magnum, but no one was injured, police said.
Wynn said Livonia police responded to a 911 call regarding the shooting, and officers waited for the vehicles to enter Livonia city limits, where they pulled both vehicles over.
The driver of the Magnum, a Southfield man who is also a Detroit police officer, was taken into custody, Wynn said, adding that the officer also had open intoxicants inside his vehicle. Wynn added the officer probably shot off about four or five rounds.
The officer told police he was fired at first, and was only shooting back.
The officer will not be released until an investigation by police and prosecutors is complete. He is facing charges of assault with intent to murder, and driving under the influence.
Livonia police said the Wayne County Prosecutors office has requested several items regarding the investigation.
