DETROIT (AP) — Police say an off-duty Detroit firefighter has been killed in his home, just a few months after joining the department.

Police Chief James Craig says the man was fatally shot at his Detroit home. The body was discovered Tuesday by a family member.

The victim’s name wasn’t immediately released.

In 2015, a Detroit firefighter nearing retirement was killed during a robbery. Three people were convicted.
