Norman R. Killough

Trooper Norman Killough was accidentally shot and killed by an officer from another agency during an undercover operation.

Trooper Killough and a second trooper were undercover, attempting to build credibility for an illegal fencing operation. The joint operation included officers from the Flint Police Department stopping them and hassling them in a high-crime section of town. During the second such stop at North Saginaw Street and Lomita Avenue at 1:00 a.m., one of the officer's revolvers accidentally discharged, striking Trooper Killough in the side. He was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.

Trooper Killough had served with the Michigan State Police for three years. He was survived by his wife and son.
