Armed suspect in Oxford, Al. shot by Police

According to a report by Oxford Chief Bill Partridge, an Oxford man was shot by a police officer Tuesday after pointing a gun at officers responding to a domestic violence call.
Partridge said officers responded Tuesday night to a report of domestic violence at a home on Southmoor Circle.
Responding officers arriving at the scene heard sounds of conflict in the house, and heard a woman say “he’s got a gun,”
After a short standoff standoff  a woman emerged from the house, followed by a man with a gun, Partridge said.
“The male comes out with a gun in hand,” Partridge said. “He points it at the officers.”
At that point, an officer or officers shot the man.
Partridge said an investigation into an “officer-involved shooting” was just beginning and did not release information on the man’s name or his condition, or on how many shots were fired. 
We will update as the facts come in.
