Fatal incident in Ypsilanti involving police pursuit and gunfire.
A driver died following a police pursuit in Ypsilanti that ended in a crash and gunfire involving Washtenaw County Sheriff's deputies. During the incident, which occurred in the early hours, a deputy noticed a van without a license plate driving without lights on.

The chase culminated in a crash involving a deputy's vehicle on Prospect near Michigan, after which the driver retrieved a shotgun and fired shots. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene, but it is unclear if his death was due to gunfire from law enforcement. The investigation is being handled by Michigan State Police, with Prospect closed south of Michigan Avenue as inquiries continue. Keep following FOX 2 for the latest updates on this developing story.
