Defense attorneys say the former Grand Rapids police officer was acting in self-defense when he fatally shot Patrick Lyoya in 2022.

Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr took the stand Friday during his murder trial. It was the first time he's discussed Patrick Lyoya's killing.

A Michigan police officer who killed a man with a shot to the back of the head testified in his own defense Friday, telling jurors at his second-degree murder trial that he was "running on fumes" and fearing for his life after losing his Taser during an intense fight.
