EMPHASIS: Officer-Involved Shooting In Callaway County

At approximately 5 p.m. March 24, 2016, deputies from the Callaway County Sheriff's Office responded to a domestic violence incident at 7624 County Road 411, Fulton, MO. When deputies arrived, they encountered a white male, age 21, carrying an ax.

Preliminary information from the responding officers indicates a brief verbal confrontation occurred, the male subject failed to comply with the deputies’ commands, then advanced toward the officers and subsequently was shot one time. The male subject received first aid and some medical treatment before being flown to the University of Missouri Medical Center, where he remains.

At the request of Callaway County Sheriff Dennis Crane, the investigation is being conducted by the Patrol’s Division of Drug and Crime Control. The investigation is currently ongoing and the results will be referred to the Callaway County prosecuting attorney.
