He was outside the apartment on Riverview Street near Telegraph and I-96 on Detroit’s west side when the suspects opened fire.

Kachar, a 10-year veteran of the force who grew up in Monroe, was transported to Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit where he was in stable condition.

He is the son of Mark and Tracie Kachar. Family members have been by his side since the shooting.
