Police responded to a call around 4 a.m. Sunday from a woman who reported being shot by her father, who police identified as 53-year-old Igor Lanis, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said. After officers arrived at the home, they heard gunshots and began to approach the residence when the suspect came out the front door and began firing at them with a shotgun, police said. A Walled Lake police officer and an Oakland County sheriff’s deputy returned fire, striking and killing Lanis, authorities said. Officers said they saw the 25-year-old woman who called 911 at the front door “trying to crawl out of the house” before being dragged to safety, authorities said. “She stated that her father shot her and her mother,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “He was taken to an area hospital and rushed into emergency surgery.” “At this time, the daughter is stable, but apparently has super-traumatic gunshot wounds to her back and legs,” Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bussard said during a press conference Monday. Law enforcement officials searched the home and discovered the body of a 56-year-old woman who had been “shot multiple times in the back and appeared to also be trying to run out the front door,” the sheriff’s office said. . The family’s dog had also been “shot multiple times and killed,” according to authorities. The Oakland County Special Investigations Unit and the Walled Lake Police Department are investigating.
