An off-duty Detroit police officer who was "asking for suicide by cop" was shot dead after he opened fire and injured two fellow officers, authorities said.

When officers responded to a 911 call for a suicide in progress on Monday afternoon, they identified the 45-year-old suspect as a member of the Detroit Police Department's special response team, Detroit Police Chief James White said.

The suspect, a 13-year veteran of the department, was off-duty but in uniform, White said.
