LANSING, Mich. — The Lansing Police Department says there has been an officer-involved shooting near Holmes Road and Simken Drive in Lansing.

According to police, two officers have been shot. Police say the suspect was also shot and is in custody.

Police Chief Ellery Sosebee says detectives were following up on a previous crime when they encountered the suspect in the back parking lot of an apartment building on West Holmes Road on the city's south side.

Chief Sosebee says detectives called for assistance from patrol officers. Two officers responded, and soon after, there was an exchange of gunfire. Both officers and the suspect were shot.

The officers and suspect are being treated for non-life-threatening injuries at a local hospital.
