Domestic situation ends with man dead: Altercation with officers escalates quickly.

Investigation Underway into Officer Shooting in Murfreesboro

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) is continuing its investigation into a shooting that occurred Sunday afternoon involving officers from the Murfreesboro Police Department. The request for an investigation was made by the 16th Judicial District Attorney, Jennings Jones, and TBI agents are working independently to clarify the details of the incident.

What Happened:

Preliminary information indicates that at approximately 4:15 p.m., Murfreesboro officers responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at a residence located in the 2600 block of Goose Creek Lane. Upon arriving, officers encountered a man armed with a shotgun, who pointed the weapon and verbally threatened them. The situation quickly escalated, resulting in two officers shooting the man, who retreated inside the home.

Officers from the Murfreesboro Special Operations Unit subsequently responded and entered the home, where they found the man dead. An autopsy has been requested to determine the cause of death. Fortunately, none of the officers were injured during this incident.

The TBI's Role in the Investigation:

The TBI is charged with determining the facts surrounding the shooting, which includes gathering evidence and conducting interviews. The findings of the investigation will be shared with the Attorney General of the 16th Judicial District for review and consideration. It is important to emphasize that the TBI does not make decisions on whether the officers' actions were justified; that decision rests with the Attorney General, who requested the TBI's intervention.

The TBI also clarifies that it does not identify the officers involved in these cases and recommends that questions regarding this matter be directed to the respective department for appropriate determination.

Next Steps and Updates:

The investigation is ongoing, and any relevant updates on the case will be posted on the TBI's official website: [TBINewsroom.com](https://tbinewsroom.com).

These types of incidents highlight the importance of an objective and thorough investigation to ensure transparency and due process. As more details become available, additional information will be shared with the community.
