EMPHASIS: Officer-Involved Shooting In Dallas County

On Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at approximately 3:30 p.m., the Missouri State Highway Patrol, along with the Dallas County Sheriff's Department and the Buffalo Police Department, responded to a physical domestic disturbance at a residence on Granger Lane, approximately five miles south of Buffalo, in Dallas County. A preliminary investigation reveals that officers made contact with a white male subject who was suspected of being armed with a weapon. The subject allegedly failed to obey officer’s commands and a physical altercation ensued. During the incident, the subject was shot by a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper and later succumbed to his injuries at the scene. No law enforcement personnel were injured.

The identity of the subject is not being released at this time. The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control and the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department continue to investigate.
