Detroit’s police chief has suspended two officers and a supervisor following last week’s fatal police shooting of a woman who struggled with an officer for a gun after she allegedly assaulted her young son and mother.
Detroit Police Chief James White said Monday he will recommend to the city's Board of Police Commissioners that all three be suspended without pay. He also directed the Office of Professional Development to determine if the supervisor should be considered for a reduction in rank.
White took the steps after the woman became the second person apparently suffering from mental illness to be shot to death by Detroit police in just over a month.
