密歇根州总检察长审查 Otisville 致命枪击案结论:州警开枪属自卫 对涉案警员不予起诉

密歇根州总检察长办公室11月13日宣布,已完成对2025年7月31日 Otisville 州警致命枪击案的审查,认定涉案密歇根州州警开枪属于自卫及保护同僚与旁观者,对涉案警员不予起诉。死者为时年54岁的 Otisville 居民 James Jennings。按密歇根州警惯例,所有涉警枪击案均送交总检察长办公室审查。
据审查通报,2025年7月31日下午,州警接911报警赶到 Jennings 住处附近,一名女子称在其家中遭 Jennings 袭击后逃出。警员记录其伤情后多次电话劝说 Jennings 出屋,他拒绝投降,称自己已「固守」屋内、不会去坐牢。因知其家中有多支枪械,州警请求紧急支援队增援并在住宅周围设立警戒线。
支援队17时30分起陆续到场,继续电话谈判,并以警车广播、爆震弹与胡椒球等非致命手段促其投降。18时54分,Jennings 先向警员开了一枪;警方未还击,继续以非致命手段劝降。此后 Jennings 多次向警员及其车辆开火,其中一发子弹射入邻居有人居住的房屋,险些击中屋内居民。18时54分至19时09分之间,Jennings 四度开火,支援队五名警员开枪还击。Jennings 在阁楼内被击中身亡,身中四枪,身边有多支枪械与弹匣。
总检察长办公室表示,审查结论是涉案警员当时的开枪行为构成自卫与保护他人,因此不提出刑事指控。
Michigan AG Finds Troopers Acted in Self-Defense in Fatal 2025 Otisville Shooting, No Charges
The Michigan Department of Attorney General announced on November 13 that it has concluded its review of the July 31, 2025 officer-involved shooting death of James Jennings, then 54, of Otisville, without issuing charges against the Michigan State Police troopers involved, finding they acted in self-defense and in defense of fellow officers and bystanders. It is the policy of the Michigan State Police to send all officer-involved shootings to the Department of Attorney General for review.
On the afternoon of July 31, 2025, troopers responded to a 9-1-1 call and met a woman near Jennings' residence who reported he had attacked her in his home, from which she escaped. Troopers documented her injuries and tried at length by phone to persuade Jennings to exit peaceably. He refused, saying he was dug in and was not going to jail or prison. Knowing he had numerous firearms in the home, troopers requested the Emergency Support Team and set a security perimeter.
The team began arriving at 5:30 p.m. and continued negotiating, using public-address announcements, flash-bang devices and pepper balls. Jennings fired a single shot at troopers at 6:54 p.m.; police did not return fire and kept using non-lethal means. Jennings then resumed firing at troopers and their vehicles, and one of his shots entered a neighbor's occupied home, narrowly missing the resident. Between 6:54 p.m. and 7:09 p.m., Jennings opened fire four times and five Emergency Support Team troopers returned fire. Jennings was killed in an attic space, surrounded by multiple firearms and ammunition magazines, having suffered four gunshot wounds.
