A woman in Michigan died after being struck by a "less lethal round" during a standoff with police during a house fire incident.

A woman in Michigan died after being struck with what police described as a "less lethal round" during an armed standoff with officers in southwestern Michigan. A woman called 911 to report someone attempting to set her house on fire. Upon arrival, an officer saw her pointing a long gun at his vehicle. The woman made several calls to 911, stating her intent was to shoot police officers. After a one-and-a-half-hour standoff, police obtained a search warrant and used less lethal rounds to enter the home. One of the rounds penetrated the woman's upper chest, leading to her death at the hospital.
