An 80-year-old man was run over as he placed signs in support of President Donald Trump outside his Michigan home—just days after Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt at a Pennsylvania rally.
A 22-year-old man was identified as a suspect after he allegedly called law enforcement to confess to the crime. He fatally shot himself upon the deputies’ arrival, the Hancock Police Department announced on Tuesday.
The incident began when the 22-year-old man, while driving an ATV, tore the Trump signs from the 80-year-old man’s front yard. As the victim attempted to lift and restore the signs, the suspect allegedly drove over him, causing near-fatal injuries, according to police.
“The crimes reported in the city of Hancock appear to be politically motivated, involving victims who displayed Trump election signs as well as law enforcement appreciation stickers and flags commonly referred to as the ‘thin blue line’ paraphernalia,” the sheriff’s office wrote.
