The person, who is described as well-known but whose identity has not been released, was shot multiple times while protesting abortion outside Owosso High School.<\/p>\n<p>LifeNews.com has learned that the pro-life advocate is James Pouillon and the local <em>Argus Press<\/em> newspaper in Owosso has confirmed that to be the case. He was reportedly shot multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>In the spot where the Pouillon stood, a portable oxygen tank lay next to a sign with a picture of an unborn child and the word &#8220;Life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Officials say the shooting occurred at 7:30 a.m. local time and most students were inside the school building at the time of the incident. The shooting did not take place on school property but officials locked down the school and taped off most of the front portions of the school grounds.<\/p>\n<p>State police have confirmed they apprehended a suspect about 8:15 a.m. at the suspect&#8217;s home in this small community northeast of Lansing.<\/p>\n<p>Sara Edwards, the chief assistant prosecutor for Shiawassee County, has confirmed that Pouillon&#8217;s pro-life stance was the reason he was targeted and said the suspect officials have in custody disapproved of his abortion protests outside the schools.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There was some displeasure with how open he was,&#8221; she said. &#8220;He tended to carry big signs with very graphic pictures of fetuses.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100704172807\/http:\/\/www.lifenews.com:80\/state4409.html\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Click here to continue.<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20100701213322\/http:\/\/www.lifenews.com:80\/state4410.html\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Slain Pro-Life Advocate Jim Pouillon Known as the Peaceful Abortion Sign Guy<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 by Steven Ertelt LifeNews.com&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-signs-of-the-times","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) -
