State police have identified the man shot and killed by Clare Police officers Tuesday night.
William C. Scozzari, a resident of the Lone Pine Motel on North McEwan Street, was pronounced dead at MidMichigan Medical Center-Clare after police attempted to question him in an investigation of shots being fired.

Scozzart came at the two officers with a knife and a hatchet, state police Lt. Christopher Stolicker said Wednesday.

Stolicker, commander of the Mt. Pleasant post, said an investigation into the shooting will likely take one to two weeks. Detective Sgt. Jerry Carter's report will be submitted to Clare County Prosecutor Norm Gage for review.
