At about 5 a.m., five officers responded to a report that Pankey had threatened his girlfriend. Two officers forced open the door and encountered Pankey, who followed them with what police said they believed was a knife as they backed out of they house. The officers shot Pankey when he allegedly refused to drop the tool. A Clay County grand jury decided not to indict the officers.
