Waterford Police are investigating a shooting that left a man dead in a home Friday night.

Around 9:12 p.m., officers responded to a call of a fatal shooting at a home on the 1300 block of Rossdale. 

The caller told police a man pushed his way into the home and was shot by a resident in the home.

At the scene, officers found the 41-year-old man's body on the floor just inside the front door.

Further investigation revealed the residents in the home knew the victim and this was not a random intrusion, according to police.

The shooter has been taken into police custody and a handgun was recovered at the scene. 

Police say the suspect is currently being held at the Oakland County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing.
