Investigations into Michigan contractor killed by U.S. troops

DETROIT (AP) - Several investigations have been lauched into why a civilian contractor in Iraq was shot and killed by American troops as he drove toward a U.S. military checkpoint last week.

Truck driver Donald Tolfree, 52, of St. Charles, drove through a U.S. military checkpoint Feb. 5 before realizing he was in the wrong convoy, attorney Patrick Greenfelder, who represents Tolfree's daughter, told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Tolfree turned around and was driving back toward the checkpoint when he was shot in the head and killed, Greenfelder said.
