A 21-year-old Sterling Heights man has pleaded as charged in the March shooting death of a 73-year-old Riley Township woman. Michael Vultaggio pleaded guilty to careless discharge of a firearm resulting in death, a 2-year felony; and lying to a police officer, a 1-year misdemeanor. Shirley Pfeil died after a bullet struck her inside her Dunn Road home March 25. Vultaggio’s lawyer said his client was visiting family in Riley Township when the shooting happened. Police have said the 21-year-old told them he had been target shooting at a berm about 2,000 feet away from the Pfeil home.
