A man was shot and killed inside the Dearborn Heights Police Department on Thursday morning.

Mayor Dan Paletko said a man entered the lobby and refused to empty his pockets while passing through security. Mayor Paletko told Fox2Detroit that the man had pulled a knife and lunged at a secutiry guard who drew his weapon and fatally shot the man.


As a result, Crestwood and Daley schools have are closed as a precaution and the police department has remained on lockdown.
