's message, "Anti- abortion activist shot & killed in front of high school" on 09/11/09 11:09:18am
The entire school district was put on lock down early this morning, after an anti-abortion activist was shot multiple times and killed outside the High School. The Elementary, Middle, and Alternative Ed school were taken off of the lockdown but the Owosso High School was on lockdown through most of the morning.
NBC25 is told, Jim Pouillon was a well-known anti-abortion activist in the city of Owosso and would stand in very visible areas with large graphic anti-abortion signs.
The interim superintendent, Susan Wooden says Mr. Pouillon was also known at the High School where he would stand most mornings while students walked into school and pray, hold his signs and protest abortions.
*All after school activities in Owosso School District have been canceled out of reverence for the victims and their families.
UPDATE AS OF 2:04PM EDT:
Police have released the names of the victims in a double shooting in Owosso.
At approximately 7:20 a.m., Jim Pouillon, a prolife activiest, was shot and killed at Owosso High School. The shooter then drove to Fuoss Gravel where, around 8:17 a.m., President Mike Fuoss was also shot and killed.
Police believe Fuoss and Pouillon knew each other, and probably were acquainted with the shooter.
The entire Owosso school district was put on lock down early this morning. The Elementary, Middle, and Alternative Ed school have since been taken off the lockdown. The high school is releasing students if parents come and sign students out, otherwise students will remain in the building throughout the remainder of the day.
NBC25 is told Pouillon was well-known for his pro-life activities in the city of Owosso. He often stood in very visible areas with large graphic anti-abortion signs. The interim superintendent, Susan Wooden, says he was also well known at the High School where he would stand most mornings while students walked into school. The Flint Area Right to Life says Pouillon was a quiet man who prayed often in front of schools and local organizations.
Approximately 45 minutes after the shooting, police apprehended a suspect. At this time, NBC25 does know the name of the suspected shooter and will hold the release of his name. Police are not releasing the suspects name until warrants have been issued. The Shiawassee County Sheriff's Department says the suspect himself and witnesses are being interviewed.
