State Police Trooper Shoots Suspect, Case Under Investigation

The Michigan State Police are investigating an officer involved shooting that occurred Sunday, October 4 in Flint.

Police were dispatched to the 500 block of E. Gillespie Ave. around 4:30 p.m. after a woman called police for a domestic disturbance. Police say a 28-year-old Burton man was firing a gun into the air outside their home. The man left the house on foot, walking down Esther St.
