Two Fishers Police officers have been placed on administrative duty following a fatal officer-involved shooting Monday morning.

Officers were called to the 12000 block of Colbarn Drive around 10:15 a.m. Monday for a welfare check on a distressed person, Officer Shawn Wynn, a department spokesperson, said.

Officers found a man sitting in a parked vehicle on Colbarn Drive, according to a statement from the department. As officers approached the vehicle, the man allegedly threatened officers with a gun.

The officers responded by shooting at the man. As officers began shooting, police say the man turned the gun on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

It remained unclear Monday evening if the bullet that fatally struck the man was fired by officers. Wynn told IndyStar that information will likely come as the result of an autopsy.

Wynn said many Fishers Police officers receive critical incident training, which helps them navigate how to respond in instances in which they might be working with someone suffering from a mental illness or who is in emotional distress. However, it is unclear how long the officers were on-scene before the shooting and to what extent they were able to interact with the man before the shooting.

Both officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative duty pending an investigation of the incident, according to the department.
