Police: Teen killed after White Lake Twp. homeowner shot at group who entered his garage
A 17-year-old was killed and another was hospitalized after an Oakland County homeowner opened fire on a group of people who police say entered the homeowner's garage early on Tuesday, July 8. Around 1 a.m., seven individuals entered the detached garage of a residence in the 9000 block of Mandon Drive in White Lake Township, according to a news release from the White Lake Township police department. The homeowner, who had been alerted by a video surveillance system, exited the house and fired multiple shots toward the group. All seven fled the scene on foot, White Lake Township police said. Oakland County Central Dispatch later notified White Lake Township officers that two people with gunshot wounds had been located in Commerce Township — one at Huron Valley Hospital and another near the hospital. One of the 17-year-olds died from his injuries, police said. The other is in stable condition and remains hospitalized as of Tuesday afternoon.

It remains unclear whether the homeowner could face charges. Michigan's Self-Defense Act allows individuals to use deadly force without first trying to retreat, as long as they are not committing a crime and are somewhere they have a legal right to be. The law, outlined in MCL 780.972, permits deadly force if a person honestly and reasonably believes it is necessary to prevent imminent death, great bodily harm or sexual assault. A related statute, MCL 780.951 presumes the use of force is justified if someone unlawfully enters a home, business or occupied vehicle. The case is under investigation and will be submitted to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for review, police said. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call 248-698-4404.

Yuengling beer expands to Michigan starting Aug. 11
It's the moment Michigan beer lovers have been waiting for — and no, you're not being punked this time. Yuengling, America's oldest brewery, is officially coming to the Great Lakes state this summer. Eastown Distributors, based in northeast Wayne County and one of the companies selected to distribute the beer in Michigan, confirmed the news on Friday, June 6. "Beer drinkers in the state of Michigan have been anticipating this for years," an Eastown Distributors spokesperson told the Free Press. Detroit is among the cities where Yuengling will be available, starting on Aug. 11. A full list of locations and availability dates across the state has yet to be announced. D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc. was founded in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, in 1829 by David G. Yuengling. It remains family-owned. The company has flirted with expanding to Michigan before, fueling hopes and sparking rumors that never quite panned out. That history made some long-skeptical Michiganders cautious even as the news broke out. More: Ferndale Project, brewery known for experimenting, to distribute its beers statewide "Hard to believe that it may happen after all the teasing that has happened over the years," one person wrote in the 'Bring Yuengling to Michigan' Facebook group on June 5. "I sure hope this is true," another person commented. Nour Rahal is a trending and breaking news reporter. Email her: nrahal@ Follow her on Twitter @nrahal1.
