Jefferson City police shoot 40-year-old man

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

Police shot a man in Jefferson City on Thursday afternoon.

Details about the person's condition were not available, but Missouri State Highway Patrol Sgt. Kyle Green confirmed an officer-involved shooting had occurred in the 800 block of Broadway Street.

MSHP Sgt. Bradley Germann told ABC 17 News that the Division of Drug and Crime Control is on scene to investigate. The Jefferson City Police Department had requested the highway patrol to investigate because the incident involved one of JCPD's officers, Germann said.

Jefferson City police later wrote in a press release that a 40-year-old man was shot.

The release says officers were patrolling the area when someone ran from police at 4:16 p.m. Police shot a man two minutes later, the release says.

"A 40-year-old male suspect was struck by gunfire, and officers immediately rendered aid. The suspect was transported from the scene for medical treatment," the release says. "The primary investigation into this incident has been turned over to the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Jefferson City Police Department Criminal Investigations Division."

The release does not list how many officers were involved in the shooting. The name of the man shot was not released.

Multiple Jefferson City police cruisers and vehicles from other agencies were parked in the area, with tape up and surrounding a building along the street.

ABC 17 News has asked spokespeople for the police department and city government for more details.
