Dearborn police said officers fatally shot an armed man in Detroit on Saturday morning after he had fired at them at the scene of a suspicious fire at a Dearborn mosque.
According to Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, the man responsible for the fire is the same man who shot at officers and was then killed.
The man "may have been experiencing a mental health crisis at the time," Hammoud said in a statement. He added that "we do NOT believe there are any imminent threats or dangers to any other houses of worship."
Hammoud said the man fired at police as officers tried to persuade him to put down his gun.
