Three arrested after suspects fired shots at Detroit police on Telegraph

Detroit Police have arrested two men and a teenage woman after the suspects fired shots at deputies during an unrelated traffic stop. Nobody was injured.

"Police officers were out here working hard, getting guns off the street and making the city safe and for no reason what so ever. This person was completely unrelated for what they were here for, so it's befuddling and it's upsetting," said Capt. Micheal Dicicco. "Of course these are my people out here and all the citizens should be upset when things like this happen to officers who are trying to keep them safe."

The suspects under arrest include two men, a 19-year-old and a 20-year-old, as well as a 14-year-old girl. They were arrested in the area of Outer Drive and Blackstone.
