Saginaw Police officers responded at 11:26 a.m. Saturday to a residence in the 300 block of Asbury Drive following a dispatch from NWECC Telecommunications about a man experiencing a mental health crisis who had attempted to harm himself.<\/p>\n
Upon arrival, officers found an armed man inside the home holding what appeared to be a rifle. Police said officers attempted to de-escalate the situation with verbal commands, but the man advanced on them with the weapon. One Saginaw officer fired his handgun, striking the subject.<\/p>\n
