A Haslett man remained in critical condition today after shooting himself in the head during a traffic stop Thursday evening on a freeway interchange near Alma.Of course, he could have been suffering from some form of mental illness. Maybe he had nothing to hide.
The driver was stopped for defective equipment on the southbound entrance ramp to U.S. 127 from M-57 in Washington Township about 6:50 p.m., the MSP said.
He shot himself in the head with a small-caliber handgun before troopers could approach, they said.
Police said they did not know why the man shot himself.
Either way though, the gun availability made a big difference.
