Kentucky State Police has released its preliminary investigation findings in the fatal officer-involved shooting in Calloway County.
The shooting occurred on at 1:00 a.m. on Friday, February 24 and resulted in the death of 28-year-old Erin Williams, of Murray.
State police said its preliminary investigation indicates that Calloway County deputies and a Murray Police Department officer responded to a residence on Knight Road on the report of a domestic disturbance.
Upon police arriving on the scene, officers encountered Williams, who state police said attempted to flee the scene on foot. Officers pursued William, “at which time he began advancing toward the officers with a weapon,” according to Kentucky State Police.
“After verbal commands and less-lethal attempts to subdue the subject were ineffective,” state police stated that “Calloway County Deputy Todd Clere, a six-year veteran with the agency, fired his agency-issued firearm, striking the subject.”
