Under Michigan law, which of the following is considered a use of deadly force?

  1. Shouting threats

  2. Brandishing a firearm

  3. Firing a warning shot

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Firing a warning shot

Firing a warning shot is considered a use of deadly force under Michigan law. This is because a warning shot can still potentially harm or kill someone and is therefore seen as a force that has the potential to cause serious harm. Shouting threats or brandishing a firearm, while certainly serious and potentially dangerous, may not necessarily result in harm or death and are therefore not considered a use of deadly force in this context. Additionally, option D is incorrect because only option C, firing a warning shot, is considered a use of deadly force in Michigan.
