Undersheriff Tom Finco tells the Associated Press that 26-year-old James Bonneau was fatally shot.

JACKSON (AP) -- Authorities say a 63-year-old man who fatally shot one police officer and wounded another in Jackson has been killed.

Undersheriff Tom Finco tells the Associated Press that 26-year-old James Bonneau was fatally shot Tuesday morning and later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Finco said a second officer was shot.  Twenty-two-year-old Blackman Township public safety officer Darrin McIntosh underwent surgery for a non-life-threatening injury.  His condition was not immediately known.

Officials say at 12:26 a.m., the two officers responded to a domestic disturbance call and entered a home belonging to Elvin Potts of Jackson, about 70 miles west of Detroit.

Police say Potts revealed a handgun and shot at the officers three times.  One officer returned fire, killing Potts.

No further information has been released.
