A northern Michigan man was killed in an officer involved shooting over the weekend after the 35-year-old male fled from law enforcement to an elevated a tree stand.
A day prior to the shooting, the Kalkaska county deputies were called to residence in Fife Lake for alleged domestic assault.
The suspect fled from the scene and was seen by a neighbor the next day exiting out of another residence firing a gun into the air. The neighbor left and contacted the police.
Upon following him into the woods, officers heard a gunshot and called for the Michigan State Police to intervene.
Troopers then approached the tree stand when a "confrontation" occurred, according to a release from the state police.
After it was determined the suspect was deceased, state troopers said they recovered a loaded gun from the body of the suspect.
State Police said an autopsy is being processed and the investigation is ongoing.
