Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey confirmed at a Monday press conference that two court bailiffs were killed and the suspect, an unidentified man, was shot and killed by police.
Bailey said the shooting happened about 2:25 p.m. when a "disturbance" occurred on the third floor of the courthouse.
"The person had shot two bailiffs, they're both deceased, and shot a deputy sheriff who is at the hospital right now being treated in an emergency room."
Bailey said the sheriff's deputy is in stable condition at Lakeland Regional Hospital. Bailey said "several civilians" were also taken to the hospital and are in stable condition as well at the same hospital.
"They went for shelter once the shooting occurred and other brave officers were able to come to their rescue and take the shooter down," Bailey said.
The deputy who was injured was shot in the left arm and finger.
