Driver kills firefighter

Driver kills firefighter collecting for charity

Police said there was a verbal exchange between the suspect and Rodeman moments before the incident.

"The suspect came by, was upset for whatever reason (and) circled back around" before running into the firefighter, Kraus said. "The preliminary investigation is that he deliberately hit the firefighter who was standing in the road, collecting for the charity."

The suspect, who was driving a small pickup truck, continued north on Cedar Street and eventually was stopped in the 3100 block of Lawdor Road, Lansing police Capt. Darin Southworth said in a news release. He ran from the vehicle and was caught by officers.

Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero announced Rodeman's death in a statement shortly before 8 p.m. Wednesday. Bernero called the incident "a senseless, unthinkable tragedy."

Senseless... FF Rodeman and his wife had a baby on the way, too. RIP, brother.

Hope the monster who did this rots in prison the rest of his life.

Running over a fireman raising money for charity?
This guy should be put in an insane asylum.

I'm with Grady, no justification for keeping this guy alive.

Sorry but a person who commits a senseless and horrible crime like this has absolutely no redeeming qualities and should be exterminated like the vermin he is.

RIP & Prayers for the family.
