A deadly shooting at an Almont business last Wednesday morning left one person dead and a Columbus Township man in custody. Police say the suspect fled before being tracked down by Lapeer County deputies along I-69 near Imlay City. During the chase, deputies shot and injured the 32-year-old man, who’s now stable at a hospital. Five patrol cars were damaged and three officers suffered minor injuries. Michigan State Police are now handling both the Almont shooting and the officer-involved shooting investigations.
