MERIDIAN TWP. – Less than a week after officials announced a diseased deer was found in Meridian Township, sharpshooters began killing deer in the township Wednesday.

The shooting is focused on a 2-mile radius from the intersection of Marsh and Haslett roads. The deer with chronic wasting disease -- the first such wild deer found in Michigan -- was discovered near there about a month ago. State officials didn't announce the find until last week.
