On January 14, 2014, 68-year-old William Jackson Marble, a retired school teacher, died after being shot by a Michigan State Police trooper during a domestic disturbance call at his home on North Dennis Road in Amber Township. Troopers James Luttrull and Hammerle responded after Marble’s wife, Nancy Marble, phoned Mason-Oceana 911. The bullet passed through Marble’s hand and the firearm before entering his chest; he was treated on scene and taken to Spectrum Health-Ludington Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An autopsy was performed by the Kent County Medical Examiner and the Mason County Prosecuting Attorney reviewed the case. The prosecutor later concluded the shooting was reasonable and justified, finding Luttrull acted in self-defense and in defense of his fellow officer. The handgun was legally registered to Marble and no arrests were made. If anyone knew William Marble or was in that neighborhood that evening, does any detail about what led up to the disturbance shed light on the events?
