OWOSSO, Mich. (CNS) — Pro-life leaders condemned the Sept. 11 murder of a Michigan man who was protesting against abortion outside a public high school in Owosso, 10 miles west of Flint.

The suspect, arrested by police, said he targeted the man for his activism. The dead man, James Pouillon, 63, a General Motors retiree, was shot about 7 a.m. while protesting outside Owosso High School in the city as students were gathering for classes.

A 33-year-old Owosso Township long-haul truck driver, Harlan James “Hal” Drake, was arrested later that morning. Police said Drake, once in custody, confessed to having killed a second man.
