Deputies still searching for clues in shooting, house fire
YPSILANTI TWP - An Ypsilanti Township man was shot by Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Department deputies early Sunday morning after allegedly shooting his mother and setting her house fire.
According to a WCSD press release, the 43-year-old resident was seen leaving the house fire by a neighbor who called 911 emergency services and reported that he was leaving the fire with a gun in his hand.
The subsequent investigation found that the woman inside the house, who is apparently the suspect’s mother, had been shot.
Deputies responded to the call at 12:10 a.m. on Sunday morning to the 1200 block of Pageant Street, according to the press release.
Responding deputies found the suspect at the corner of Redleaf and Wendell Streets, where he was shot by the deputies.
No further details on the shooting are available pending an investigation.
