SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota authorities say a Sioux Falls officer was justified in using lethal force in shooting and killing a man last month who fired a gun at a police drone during a standoff.
State officials said officers were trying to arrest 57-year-old Glenn Nisich on July 3 and serve a search warrant in connection with a fatal shooting at a rural Minnehaha County home that happened one day earlier when the standoff happened.
Police were negotiating with him before he fired toward the drone, the marksmen’s area and occupied homes.
A SWAT team member fired twice in response, hitting Nisich once and killing him.
