Macomb Township Last year, retired Hamtramck police officer Michael Szymanski lost his job, was charged with a felony and facing up to a decade in prison for shooting his son during a Memorial Day party.
But after a Macomb County judge s dismissal of the case last week, he s now focused on rebuilding his life following what his attorney contends was a self-defense shooting that shouldn t have resulted in charges for Szymanski in the first place. He was charged with a felony, he lost his job and was facing up to 10 years in prison. None of that should have happened, said Szymanski s lawyer Todd Flood.
