An 18-year-old man who allegedly attacked two Trenton police officers with a lawnmower blade has died after being shot by police Thursday afternoon.

The shooting happened at about 4:30 p.m. Thursday at a house near Longmeadow and West Road.

James Nardone, the city’s director of police and fire, said they were initially called to the house for reports of a young man who was highly agitated and possibly under the influence of drugs. After officers arrived, the man attacked them with the blade.

Nardone said they first used a Taser on the man, but ended up shooting at him after he continued toward officers, cutting one of the officers in his hand.


“The suspect suffered a single gunshot wound to the abdomen, and, sadly, early this morning, he passed away,” Nardone said.

The officer injured by the lawnmower blade was treated and released from an area hospital.

Nardone said police are not releasing the name of the officer nor the man killed in the incident, pending investigation.

Michigan State Police are investigating.

Ryan Bridges, a spokesman for Wayne County, said an autopsy is slated for Saturday, but officials could not release the name of the man as he has not yet been identified by family.

Though police are not identifying the man, officials at Trenton Public Schools did confirm that he was a graduating senior at Trenton High School.
“After hearing the news last night, we activated our crisis team, which includes social workers and counselors in the district,” Supt. Rodney Wakeham said Friday. “We had a meeting this morning, and we are offering students and staff counseling.

“Our plan is to keep them in place as long as we need to as we move through this difficult period.”

Wakeham said the school district has additional resources to draw from and has been offered additional counseling assistance from neighboring Downriver school districts.
