Suspect shot by Roseville police after ramming patrol vehicle, approaching officers with knife
ROSEVILLE, Mich. (FOX 2) - A suspect was shot by Roseville police Monday morning after ramming into a patrol vehicle with his car and approaching the officers with a knife.
It happened just before 4:40 a.m. in the parking lot of the Roseville Police Department.
The backstory:
According to the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, an officer was in a patrol vehicle about to head to a call when the driver hit the back of the legally parked patrol vehicle. That driver, a 36-year-old Roseville man, then got out of his car armed with a knife.
Despite commands to drop the knife, the suspect approached officers while still holding the weapon, the sheriff's office said. This led to two officers who were nearby shooting the suspect.
