Man Killed By Police After Mask Dispute At Michigan Store

COURTESY / MICHIGAN STATE POLICE

 

GRAND LEDGE, Mich. (AP) — Police say a Michigan sheriff’s deputy fatally shot a man suspected of stabbing another man who had challenged him about not wearing a mask inside a store. The shooting occurred in Eaton County, near Lansing, Michigan, about 30 minutes after the stabbing inside a Quality Dairy store. State police say a sheriff’s deputy spotted the man’s vehicle and shot 43-year-old Sean Ruis when he tried to attack her with his knife. Ruis died at a hospital. The 77-year-old stabbing victim is in stable condition. Michigan's governor has ordered people to wear masks in stores to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus.
