MONROE, Mich. — Michigan State Police said Monday they are conducting the investigation into Sunday’s shooting of Cpl. Renae Peterson.

Peterson, a 16-year veteran of the Monroe Police Department, was shot about 8:20 p.m. Sunday while attempting to apprehend two carjacking suspects, according to state police.

Capt. John Wall, a Monroe police spokesman, said Cpl. Peterson was taken to a Toledo hospital. He said she was believed to have been shot in the abdomen and would undergo surgery. According to the Detroit News, she is in stable condition.

Prior to the shooting of Cpl. Peterson, police were called about a carjacking at Second and Winchester streets. The corporal was north of the carjacking. When she arrived, she called out to the suspects and was shot, Capt. Wall, said Sunday.

As a result, two suspects were taken into custody, although details were not provided.
