$40M mental health hospital planned for suburban Detroit
DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Beaumont Health and Universal Health Services are planning a new $40 million mental health hospital in suburban Detroit that's designed to improve care in Michigan.
The project was announced Monday as part of a joint venture between the health care system and Pennsylvania-based Universal Health Services that will double Beaumont's current capacity for inpatient mental health care. Plans also include enhanced and expanded day programs and outpatient care.
Universal Health Services will be the majority owner of the joint venture and will oversee the day-to-day operations and management of the mental health facility.
Construction will begin in early 2019 on the 150-bed hospital, which will be located across the street from Beaumont Hospital, Dearborn. The new facility is expected to open in 2021.
Officers kill man who fatally shot police dog
ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say officers shot and killed a man who fatally shot a police dog near a banquet hall in suburban Detroit.
St. Clair Shores police responded Sunday night to a report of a man with a rifle outside Lakeland Manor, where a gathering with about 70 people was taking place.
Police say the man ignored officers' instructions and fled. K-9 officer Axe was sent to track the man and police say the man shot the dog with a handgun. Police say officers then fired, striking the man. The man and the police dog were taken for treatment and later pronounced dead.
The Macomb County sheriff's office identified the man as 29-year-old Theoddeus Gray of Detroit.
Axe had been with the police department since 2016. The sheriff's office is investigating.
