OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On June 5, 2024, at approximately 3:37 a.m., a female resident in the 200 block of Pearl Street, Coloma, Michigan, called 911, reporting that individuals intended to set her house on fire. Upon arrival, a Coloma Township police officer observed the woman pointing a long gun at him and his vehicle. The woman made multiple 911 calls expressing her intent to shoot police officers. Over a 90-minute period, officers issued commands for her to drop the weapon and exit the house with her hands up, which she refused. As officers attempted to enter the residence, a Berrien County deputy fired a "less lethal" round, which struck the woman in the upper chest. She received immediate medical attention at the scene and was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
