Search warrants are being sought to enter the home and vehicle of a man police say shot and killed a pro-life activist this morning in front of Owosso High School. The unidentified suspect also has admitted killing another man at a nearby gravel business, police say.

The 33-year-old suspect, who is in police custody, allegedly shot and killed 63-year-old activist Jim Pouillon around 7:20 a.m., as well as Mike Fuoss, 51, owner of Fuoss Gravel on Busha Road, authorities say. Police say they received a call at 8:17 a.m. from an employee of Fuoss Gravel who found Fuoss dead in his office, about seven miles west of the high school. The shooter is believed to have targeted three people, but authorities declined to identify the third person, who wasn't harmed.

Police said Pouillon was struck by multiple gunshots from a moving pickup. There were several witnesses to the shooting; one provided police with a license plate number. About an hour later, Owosso Police officers found the suspect at his Owosso apartment. It was during his arrest, while sitting in a squad car, that police said the suspect admitted to killing Fuoss. The suspect has been transported to the Shiawassee County Jail.

It has been suggested by a family member of the suspect,  that the second shooting victim may have owed the suspect money.
