MI Woman who ambushed cop at Juneteenth parade dies from return fire by cop

A Michigan woman who shot at a Flint, MI police officer at a traffic checkpoint during a Juneteenth parade in what may have been a planned ambush, may have not expected the officer to return fire. But he did and she was struck by his bullet and has since died at the hospital.

Michigan State Police is investigating following the officer-involved shooting that happened at approximately 2:14 p.m. Saturday in the city of Flint. The woman was identified by officials as Briana Sykes, 19, of Flint.

According to the preliminary investigation, the officer was working at a traffic point for the parade and "was fired upon by a lone occupant of a vehicle who drove up to him," the Flint Police Department said in a press release.

The officer, who did not have a death wish, returned fire, striking the suspect, who was transported to Hurley Medical Center, a local hospital, where she died from her injuries.

The ambush happened near a gas station on Saginaw Street near Leith Street. Poor quality video [possibly shot by Michael Moore, who lives in Flint] was circulating online and shows the cop returning fire with Sykes in her silver colored vehicle in the gas station parking lot, WJRT-TV reported.

"I saw an officer maybe 10 feet to the left of me in front of a car with his gun out," a witness, who wished to remain anonymous, told WJRT-TV. "I didn’t see if anybody shot out of the car but I did see the officer shoot into the car. I could tell that he, from his look, like he mortally wounded somebody. He instantly fell to the ground crying because, I felt, like he didn’t want to do whatever he had to do."

Yes, he had to do what he had to do.

Neither the officer nor any bystanders was injured. Michigan State Police has taken over the investigation at the request of the Flint Police Department.

The officer, whose name has not been released, nor should it, was placed on administrative leave, Fox 66 reported.

At this time, it isn't known if the Marxist group, BLM, believes Briana Sykes' life matters, but if they can make a political statement against law enforcement, we can expect to hear more from them. 

As of this posting, no windows have been broken, no bystanders shot, nor stores looted to honor the memory of Ms. Sykes, a victim of her twisted belief that all cops are evil.
