‘‘A person has shot two bailiffs. They are both deceased and shot a deputy sheriff who is at the hospital right now being treated in the emergency room,’‘ Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey said.
The latest shooting in the US comes only days after a sniper targeted police officers in Dallas.
Gunman, Micah Johnson, told police he wanted to kill white police officers because he was angry about recent law enforcement shootings of black men.
