WYOMING, Mich. — The Wyoming Police Department says a man was shot and killed by officers while they were responding to a domestic disturbance at a home on Lemyra Street near Jefferson Avenue.

The department says officers were called to the scene shortly after 1:00 a.m. at Lemyra street south east near Jefferson avenue, after reports of a 31-year-old man appearing at the home despite a protective order barring him from entry.

Shocking neighbors who describe the area as a calm community.

"It's usually really quiet around here," said Alexis Lacey, a neighbor who lives down the street. "I was falling asleep, and I heard the sirens, and I saw all the lights through my window, and woke up, and they were like, literally, from behind this blue car all the way down to the other side of Lemyra."

Officers received reports that suggested the man was armed, and may have fired a weapon inside the home.

According to the department, when officers arrived, they found the man armed with a handgun.

Two Wyoming Police officers shot the suspect, who died at the scene.

The two officers who shot the suspect are on paid administrative leave, which is standard procedure after shootings involving police.
