According to police, the officer and his wife were inside their home when they heard a “commotion” in the backyard of a neighbor’s house. The officer left his home and saw a man “mounted” on top of a woman, punching and strangling her. The officer then told his wife to call police, while the officer went into the backyard to separate the man and woman, McKenzie said.
The officer was able get the woman to safety. The man then followed the officer into his front yard and the officer gave “numerous” commands to the man to stop, saying he would shoot if he came closer, McKenzie said.
The man continued to approach the group and the off-duty officer and his wife both fired at him, McKenzie said. Medical personnel later pronounced the man dead.
