Walled Lake Man Fatally Shoots Wife, Injures Daughter: Officials

WALLED LAKE, MI — Police fatally shot a Walled Lake man Sunday morning after officials said he shot his wife to death and injured his daughter, officials from the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office said in a news conference.

Police said the daughter called 911 and told officials her father shot her and her mother at 4 a.m. She did not tell officials where the shooting happened, but officers traced the call to a home 1200 block of Glenwood Court in Walled Lake.

As officers approached the home, 53-year-old Igor Lanis walked out of the house with a shotgun and began firing shots at officers, officials said. Police returned fire, fatally striking Lanis, officials said.

No officers were injured in the shootout, police said.

Inside the home, police found a 56-year-old woman and a dog shot to death, officials said. They also found the 25-year-old daughter crawling out of the home after she was shot multiple times in the back and legs, officials said.

She was taken to a nearby hospital and even though she was listed in stable condition, officials said she was suffering "super traumatic injuries." She also has a younger sibling who lives in the home as well, but she wasn't home that night, officials said.

Officials do not know what prompted the shooting, but said Lanis had been "more agitated" than normal in the past year. He also had no criminal history or no restraining orders against him, officials said.
