WALLED LAKE (WWJ) - A suspect in the shooting of a Livonia police officer will face a judge Thursday morning.
The 44-year old Terry Bowling will be arraigned in Walled Lake, the scene of a shootout in which Officer Larry Nehasil was killed.
Bowling is jailed in Oakland County. His brother, David Bowling, died in Monday's gunfire. Police say each brother has an extensive criminal record.
Police have also arrested a female — believed to be a former resident of Livonia. She wasn't at the scene, but police say she helped the two men get rid of any stolen goods.
