Unified Police Department Sgt. Melody Gray told Gephardt Daily dispatchers received a call reporting a domestic incident with a gun at 11:51 a.m. in the area of 2500 E. Evergreen Ave.
Gray said a man lives in a trailer at that address and his mother and stepfather live in a house.
The man was involved in an altercation with his mother and was shot by at least one officer. He is deceased, Gray said.
It’s not clear how many shots were fired. No other details of the incident were immediately released.
