ROSEVILLE, Mich. – Police in Roseville responded to three separate domestic violence calls at a home on the same day before a barricaded situation where a police officer was shot.
The officer is expected to survive.
It happened Jan. 23, at a home on Kathy Street, near Frazho Road.
Daniel Waldrep, a former Detroit police officer, was arrested and is currently facing attempted murder charges.
Prosecutors said Waldrep was drunk and was being aggressive toward his wife, who escaped the home with injuries before police arrived. First responders were reportedly met with gunfire when they arrived.
The Macomb County Sheriff’s Office said it was the third time police were called to the home that day.
A Roseville police officer was shot during the confrontation. Prosecutors said police returned fire, striking Waldrep.
Multiple agencies responded to the scene, deploying armored vehicles to approach the home and negotiate.
