SEDALIA, Mo. (AP) — Police in the western Missouri town of Sedalia fatally shot a knife-wielding suspect during an altercation that left two police officers injured, investigators said.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating at the request of Sedalia’s police chief.
Officers were called Saturday night to a disturbance and encountered someone armed with a knife, the patrol said. The suspect was later identified as a 28-year-old man from Sedalia.
