Authorities say Wednesday that the man who shot Oakland County sheriff’s Deputy Bradley J. Reckling on June 22 has been charged with murder of a police officer and conducting a criminal enterprise. The other two also are charged with conducting a criminal enterprise and being accessories after the fact. They were expected to be arraigned Thursday.
