Manistee Public Safety Director Dave Bachman says the officer shot Lee Pat Milks after the man came out of a house with a gun yesterday evening and told the officer to go away.
Police say the officer was conducting ordinance enforcement, which can involve such things as investigating blight complaints and abandoned vehicles.
Bachman says the officer told Milks to drop the gun. Bachman says Milks had "stopped, chambered a round and was bringing the weapon to bear on the officer" when the officer fired multiple times.
Michigan State Police are investigating. Bachman says the officer is on paid administrative leave during the investigation.
