(KAIR)--The name of the man killed Saturday night after a fatal Leavenworth police shooting has been made public by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
Dead is 44-year-old Micheal Mills, of Indianola, Iowa, who was killed after he refused to follow verbal commands to drop the knife the KBI says he was holding in the front yard of his Leavenworth home, located in the 400 block of North 5th, around 9:00 Saturday night.
The shooting happened after Mills allegedly charged toward an officer, who fired multiple shots, striking Mills.
The shooting followed a call made to 911 requesting police to arrive to that location, with the report saying that a man was armed, which is what the officers found when they arrived.
Medical aid was provided to Mills, and EMS transported him to a Leavenworth hospital he died from his injuries despite life-saving measures being administered.
The Leavenworth Police Department requested that the KBI conduct an investigation into the fatal shooting. According to a release, "the KBI will conduct a thorough and independent investigation into this shooting," and "once completed the findings will be presented to the Leavenworth County Attorney for review."
The investigation remains ongoing.
