Fatal Royal Oak police shooting, April 11, 2018

The fatal April 11 police shooting of a man who fled a traffic stop and later crashed his BMW into an officer's vehicle in a White Castle drive-thru has been ruled justified as self defense. Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton, who reviewed the case and made the ruling, found that the driver "put countless lives at risk," including the life of the officer. Royal Oak Police Officer Keith Bierenga feared for his life when 28-year-old Antonino Gordon refused orders to stop, moved his vehicle in reverse and seconds later drove into the side of the officer's vehicle, Royal Oak Police Chief Corrigan O'Donohue said after video footage of the incident was shared with media Tuesday, Aug. 1.
