Jamestown, TN (WOKI) The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is investigating after a Jamestown Police officer fatally shoots a man during a domestic dispute call Wednesday night.
TBI says officers responded to the 200 block of N. Smith Street around 9:00 p.m., where they found a man armed with a machete who reportedly refused to comply with their verbal commands; officers then used a Taser on the man which was not effective.
TBI says at some point during the confrontation, an officer fired his service weapon, striking the man who was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Wednesday’s incident marks the second officer-involved shooting involving the Jamestown Police Department in 2024.
