FOWLERVILLE, MI — An Oakland County man was shot and killed Christmas night after breaking into a Fowlerville home where his estranged wife was visiting, according to sheriff's officials.

The shooting happened Thursday night at a home in the 5500 block of Nicholson Road in the Fowlerville area where officers found the armed Lake Orion man shot to death, officials said.
