US trooper shoots dead man in state of Michigan
An American man has been fatally shot by a trooper in the state of Michigan after allegedly hitting an officer by crossbow, authorities say.
The incident happened late Friday night when four officers including a trooper and a deputy from the Montcalm County Sheriff’s Department were serving an arrest warrant at the victim’s home.
They said the 40-year-old suspect shot at officers with a crossbow hitting the deputy. The deputy was airlifted to a local hospital where his condition has stabilized.
Police have not yet released the suspect’s identity.
The United States has “by far the most violent” law enforcement agencies in the world, which is exacerbated by the dominant gun culture and societal violence in the country, according to an expert on international law.
According to a comprehensive database published by the Guardian newspaper in June, police in the United States kill more Americans in days than the police in other countries do in years.
The interactive database, dubbed the Counted, indicates that US police officers kill about twice the number of people as reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
The record also draws a stark contrast between the number of fatal police shootings in the US and Germany. It said US police kill more people in one week than German police kill in an entire year.
