The Michigan man suspected of beating an elderly man in a “politically motivated” attack over a sign supporting former President Donald Trump committed suicide.
One of the attacks left an elderly man in critical condition, according to Ashe Schow at The Daily Wire.
The Houghton County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a 22-year-old man who confessed to “a crime involving an ATV driver within the last 24 hours.” He asked the police to “send someone to pick me up.”
The police showed up, discovering a dead man “with a single self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
“Deputies obtained a search warrant for the residence and recovered several electronic devices, which will be searched by computer forensic specialists,” wrote the Houghton County Sheriff’s Office.
The office added: “Additional evidence was located including the four-wheeler used during the incident in the city as well as clothing that the suspect had been wearing during the original incident.”
The attacks happened in Hancock County.
The Hancock Police Department said a man on an ATV was involved in “three different incidents” it labeled as “politically motivated.”
The victims had Trump election signs in their yard.
“Two of the incidents incidents involved vehicles that were intentionally vandalized,” the police wrote in a press release.
Then, at 5:45 PM, “the same subject driving an ATV (4-wheel) allegedly with intention to do harm drove into the residence yard, running over an 80-year-old male who was posting a political sign in his yard.”
The elderly man remains in critical condition.
