The male suspect was transported to a local hospital and pronounced dead and the female suspect was struck in the leg and listed in critical condition, the report said.
The newspaper says the man's body was found on the lawn of a nearby home.
"We fully support our good Detroiters, good Americans that our legally in possession of weapons defending their homes," said Sgt. Michael Woody. "We will support our citizens in that matter. This seems to be another one of those incidents."
