Detroit Police Shoot Cincinnati Man Accused Of Killing Wife

DETROIT — Detroit police shot a man who was wanted for killing his wife and three other people in Cincinnati Monday outside a motel on the city's east side, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said.

Chandra Moore, 55, was wounded but did not die after being shot by police, Craig said told reporters. He is being treated at a local hospital and is in critical condition, Craig said.

"This could have been a very tragic situation," Craig said.

Craig said Moore opened fire on officers but no one else was injured in the shootout between Moore and police, Craig said.

Moore, who is wanted in Cincinnati on a murder warrant, had three guns on him when police located him outside the Rivertown Inn & Suites, 1316 E Jefferson Ave., Craig said. He is accused of shooting and killing his wife and three others Sunday in Cincinnati, Craig said.

Detroit police received a tip around 3 a.m. Monday that Moore was at the Rivertown Inn and set up a perimeter and surveilled the suspect, Craig said.

When Moore left the hotel, he was looking around, prompting Craig to say he believed he knew police were in an unmarked van near the motel.
