GAINES TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - Police have identified a western Michigan man killed in an officer-involved shooting in the Grand Rapids area.

Police say 34-year-old Steven Forrest Saucier was shot around 4 a.m. Sunday at a home in Gaines Township after Kent County sheriff’s deputies responded to a domestic disturbance.
