Investiigation
Flint police asked the state police to take over the investigation.
MSP Lt. Kim Vetter told the Detroit Free Press that the officer, whose name has not been released, is currently on paid leave.
Two videos circulating on social media show parts of the incident, and Vetter said MSP has seen these videos. She noted that the officer was not wearing a body camera at the time of the incident and does not know if there are dashcam footage of nearby police vehicles.
“The evidence indicates that she shot first,” Vetter said. “The viewer videos, we have them and we are using them as part of our research. And there are other surveillance videos in the area … that’s typical investigative protocol that they would be reviewing any other video that was available on that incident. “
