Media summary: According to police, officers saw Duane Anthony Royster point what appeared to be a gun at people at a bus stop near Schoolcraft and Evergreen. Royster reportedly fled south on Evergreen in a Ford Explorer and then east on westbound I-96 and crashed head-on into an older model Buick, killing the unnamed driver. The Buick was shoved back 40 feet by the impact, police said. The Explorer vaulted end-over-end and landed on its roof. Motorists rescued Royster from the SUV as it burst into flames. Witnesses reported hearing several popping noises that sounded like gunfire. Police said the noise likely was bullets exploding in the fire.
