LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Ingham County Sheriff Scott Wriggelsworth held a news conference regarding a deadly shooting that occurred Sunday on US-127 near Mason.
Sheriff Wrigglesworth spoke for less than three minutes and said he wouldn’t be answering any questions after the briefing.
He showed a dashcam video he said was the suspect running with knives in his hands after a vehicle that was moving in reverse.
