Small says the 66-year-old man pointed his weapon at two officers.

The officers ordered the suspect to lower his weapon multiple times but he didn’t comply. That’s when one officer shot the man once in the abdomen.

“Even laying on the ground he still had the gun in his hand. Officers had to remove the gun from the suspect’s hand,” Small said.

The man was transported to an area hospital; he is expected to survive.

No officers were injured in the incident.

“We don’t know why the suspect pointed his weapon at police. The officers that were responding — there was no mistaking that they were police officers. They were in a marked SUV, both officers were in full uniform,” Small said.

Police say they do believe the suspect was highly intoxicated at the time of this incident.
