LINCOLN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Authorities say three central Michigan sheriff’s deputies have been put on leave following the fatal shooting of a Clare County man.

Michigan State Police say 42-year-old Robert Reid III died from multiple gunshot wounds last Wednesday, the day the officers responded to a felonious assault complaint in Lincoln Township.

The deputies weren’t hurt. They will remain on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
