Around 7:40 p.m. police were attempting to serve a warrant. 38-year-old David Lee Jacobs was wanted for second-degree assault with a handgun, first-degree burglary, felony menacing, violation of bail and additional charges. When officers entered the apartment, police said the man was armed with a handgun in a small bedroom. He pointed the gun at his head and allegedly ignored commands to disarm them before pointing gun at police. Two officers shot and killed Jacobs. DA ruled shooting was justified.
