GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Grand Rapids police say a man was shot and killed by an officer during a traffic stop Monday morning.
It took place near the intersection of Griggs and Nelson when an officer conducted a traffic stop. Police say the driver exited the vehicle and tried to run away.
After a short chase, a “lengthy struggle ensued” between the officer and the suspect. That’s when the officer shot at the man, killing him.
