Deputies were dispatched to the burglary in progress. Daviess County Sheriff Keith Cain says deputies were told by the 911 caller who discovered the intruder that the intruder was brandishing a firearm as they left. Deputies started searching a wooded area near the house. Law enforcement found someone who met the description of the intruder. Officers confronted him and told him several times to surrender and the person knelt down to comply with the orders. An officer went to go for his Taser, but before he could get to it, the person raised a handgun in the direction of the officers, and he was shot and killed.
