Greene County sheriff's deputies are investigating a shooting death in the 800 block of East Doubletree Lane, just south of Springfield, at midday Wednesday.

Mark K. Lanier, 62, died of a gunshot wound.

Deputies went to the home after being called about a disturbance involving a firearm. They found a woman at a neighbor's home. They then found a man with a gunshot wound inside the home where the shooting occurred.

Deputies immediately rendered medical attention and called for an emergency medical team but the man died at the scene.

"In these early stages of our investigation, it is difficult to determine the exact events leading up to the moments before our Deputies contacted Mr. Lanier," states Sheriff Jim Arnott. "GCSO Detectives are actively investigating this incident, processing the crime scene, conducting interviews and a neighborhood canvass to learn the course of events prior to deputies' arrival."

Sheriff's department spokeswoman Cpl. Cathy Ussery says this appears to be an isolated incident with no threat or danger to the public.

"An autopsy to determine an official cause of death has been scheduled for later this week where several detectives will be in attendance," says Sheriff Arnott. "We can assure our citizens this appears to be an isolated incident and there are no concerns for the public's safety."

Deputies have responded to this home at least two times in the past few years relating to harassment reports filed by the residents.
