Harlan Drake, the man who killed anti-choice advocate James Pouillon and gravel pit owner Mike Fuoss in Owosso, Michigan this week attempted suicide while in jail awaiting arraignment, reports the Detroit Free Press.
According to the Free Press, Drake "was hospitalized Saturday morning after an apparent suicide attempt."
The story goes on to say:
Full story at the DFP site.Drake was arraigned Friday afternoon on two charges of first-degree murder in the Friday morning shooting deaths of anti-abortion activist James Pouillon, 63, and gravel pit owner Mike Fuoss, 61, both of Owosso Township.
Drake also was charged with carrying a dangerous weapon with unlawful intent after police say he intended Friday to target a third victim -- James Howe, an Owosso real estate agent. Police said they arrested Drake at his home before he could fulfill those plans.
Contacted at home, Shiawassee County Sheriff George Braidwood would not provide information about Drake's self-inflicted wound or suicide watch protocols at the jail.
Colbry said Drake still does not have attorney representation.
