A third person, whom the 58-year-old suspect crashed into while fleeing police in a vehicle, was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to CBS News.
A local resident told Detroit News the shooting appeared to be a domestic incident between residents who live across from the assisted living centre.
All residents of the facility are safe and accounted for, CBS reports.
Officials have cordoned off the parking lot next to the facility and have evacuated residents while they investigate the crime scene, according to MLive.
