LAINGSBURG — The man shot by police this morning after a lengthy standoff said “It’s time” shortly before firing shots at officers and then being shot.
It appeared one gunshot from police took him down as he was leaning out a doorway. The 49-year-old man was “conscious and alert,” officials said, when he was taken away in an ambulance. His current condition is not known, although the injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
The man has a history of mental illness, according to Laingsburg Police Chief Tony Accardo. The man has had previous run-ins with police, Accardo said.
The incident began at about 1:30 a.m. when police received calls of shots fired inside a home on Phelps Street, Accardo said. No one was injured.
Police had been negotiating with the man, but officials said the man, who had a rifle, fired at officers. At about 10:30 a.m. the Michigan State Police SWAT team used battering ram vehicle to take out the home’s front door.
The man fired several shots at the vehicle, which quickly drove away.

About 15 minutes later, the man poked his head out of the doorway, saying, “It’s time.” He fired a few more shots from the porch before one shot rang out, and he went down.

What is the world coming to....Seriously....
