9/7/14 - The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department responded to a barricaded gunman threatening to take his own life Saturday in Howell. Undersheriff Mike Murphy says the incident took place in the Hickory Hills subdivision off of M-59. The man had a handgun and was threatening to kill himself, but his wife was able to exit the building and he did not threaten anyone but himself. Deputies were called out to the scene at about 6:30pm Saturday, and Murphy says they talked to the man until about 2:30 Sunday morning, when the incident was resolved peacefully. The man was placed in protective custody and transported to a hospital. Because no criminal activity took place and nobody else was threatened, Murphy says no charges will be filed against the man.
