Decked out in body armor and armed with a pistol with a suppressor, he fired three shots into his neighbor's home. Nothing diagnosed, though. Inside were Michael Norman, his 2-year-old granddaughter, daughter, and wife.
"Yeah, and we are friendly; he’s a friendly neighbor. I know everyone always says they never would have thought this guy would do that," Norman said.

A search warrant revealed more than a dozen guns and more body armor. West Bloomfield police ended up wrestling him into cuffs using a taser. No one was hurt.
"The first officer arrived probably around 1 minute later—very quick response time. I’m very proud of our officers," Norman said. "You think you’re living in a safe neighborhood, and you find out your neighbor is stockpiling weapons and body armor."

He’ll face charges before Thanksgiving.
Police blurred his face out because he hadn’t been charged yet. Among other things, he’ll face an additional felony for wearing body armor during a crime.
