A Port Huron patient’s kind words have earned Lake Huron Medical Center’s latest “WOW Employee of the Month” honor for Chase McKenzie. The student radiologic technologist joined the hospital’s radiology team in January of ’25 and has already stood out for his professionalism and compassion. A patient described Chase as respectful, kind, and eager to help beyond expectations. Hospital officials say his care reflects the center’s mission to provide outstanding, patient-focused service across the Blue Water community.

Police in Port Huron say a domestic disturbance on the 3000 block of 26th Street turned violent Thursday night. Around 7:20 p.m., officers arrived to find a man firing at them from inside a home. They took cover and called in backup, including special response teams from Port Huron and St. Clair County. Negotiators briefly made contact before losing communication. A drone later found the suspect unresponsive upstairs. Officers entered and determined he had died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. No officers were hurt, and the case remains under investigation.
