Troy Williams

Suicide

Police responded after Troy Williams' estranged wife called 911 at 3:17 p.m. saying he was home alone with a weapon and threatening suicide. An officer briefly spoke with Williams, then took cover behind his police car. According to police, Williams released two dogs from his backyard to try to attack the officer, and fired twice in the air. State troopers and officers arrived from Clayton and Flint townships, among other departments. Police said a Clayton Township officer fired two rounds to try and knock the gun from Williams' hand but missed. Williams reportedly walked down his driveway, yelling at police to shoot him, and then shot himself in the head at the same time a trooper fired.
