Flint airport police officer in critical condition after stabbing
Allison Gross and Robert Allen , Detroit Free Press Published 11:05 a.m. ET June 21, 2017 | Updated 0 minutes ago

An airport police officer is in critical condition and Bishop International Airport in Flint has been evacuated after a reported stabbing Wednesday morning.

The FBI is investigating, and Michigan State Police posted a tweet saying, "Please keep the officer in your prayers."

According to the airport's Facebook page: "An airport police officer has been injured. All passengers are safe and are being evacuated at this time."

Ken Brown told The Flint Journal he was dropping off his daughter at the airport and saw the officer bleeding from his neck. He says he saw a man detained by police and a knife on the ground.
