Brendan Pinkston was allegedly trespassing with a gun when a caller reported him to 911. He left the property before police arrived. Four officers -- three from the Burton Police Department and one sheriff's deputy -- responded. The officers and deputy found Pinkston. He fled on foot and allegedly fired at police, injuring Burton Police Officer Dalton Christie and Genesee County Sheriff's Deputy Brandon Fachting. Police shot and killed Pinkston.
