(Mackinac County, MI) – Upper Peninsula Breaking News has confirmed for the second time this year an Upper Peninsula man has been shot by police doing a well-being check – and in both cases police say they had no choice.

The first incident occurred in Ishpeming in June this year involving a retired logger – 68-year-old U.S. Amy veteran Clifford Leroy Tucker – who served his country during the “Vietnam era” and was suffering from back pain – then he was was killed in his home by a Marquette County Deputy – who was cleared by Michigan State Police.

The latest involved the fatal shooting of 50-year-old Dean Allen Bruning of 2302 N Chard Road near Hessel, MI.

According to various sources the man was possibly shot twice – in the arm and abdomen – and his body was being guarded by a fierce dog – so a warning was put out to Kinross and other first responders in Clark Township.

Earlier today, U.P. Breaking News reached out to the Mackinac County Sheriff – however he has not gotten back to us.

According to reports, the Mackinac County man was shot and killed by a MSP trooper after a family member called police late last night and requested a well-being check.

About 11 p.m., several law enforcement officers entered the Clark Township home owned by Bruning – and  located on West Chard Road near Hessel.
That’s when one of the troopers fired twice.

As in the Marquette County incident, police say the man they killed was suicidal and armed with a gun. Bruning with a handgun and Tucker with a shotgun.

Why do retired yoopers – who are depressed – keeping getting killed by cops?
