UPDATE 2/5/19

The Harrison County Sheriff's Office has released preliminary results of an investigation into an officer-involved shooting.

According to Sheriff's Office, Clarksburg Police officers responded to a home on Hamill Avenue to serve a domestic violence petition on 80-year-old Robert Matz.

According to officials, Matz was "belligerent and argumentative" with the officer and threatened to kill him. As part of the petition, the officer asked Matz if there were any guns in the home and Matz repeatedly answered "No."

Officials say Matz took out a knife during the conversation and threatened to cut the officers. The officers tried to deescalate the situation by giving "verbal commands," but Matz continued to curse at and threaten them.

According to the Sheriff's Office, Matz then got a gun and pointed it at the officers. After refusing to drop the gun, an officer fired, killing Matz.

The incident was recorded on two separate police body cameras.

Officials say this was not Matz first time involved in a domestic violence incident or threatening law enforcement. Matz was also prohibited from having a gun due to a previous conviction.

An investigation into the incident continues.
