A Michigan school official says a man who was a well-known anti-abortion activist was shot and killed near a high school.
Business manager for Owosso Public Schools Julie Omer says the shooting took place around 7:20 a.m. Friday. She said police told school officials a suspect was taken into custody. No students were injured.
Michigan State Police have not officially released the victim’s identity.
But Omer says police disclosed to school officials the identity of the man, who is often seen carrying signs with anti-abortion slogans. She stressed that police are not making any connection between his views and the shooting.
Omer says all Owosso district schools were locked down, but reopened after the suspect was arrested.
Authorities were investigating a second shooting in the town, but did not say whether the two incidents were related.
