A man was wounded in an officer-involved shooting last night in White City after neighbors complained of a party.<\/p>\n
Authorities are providing little information about the incident that took place just before 8 pm. According to a press release from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a report of “a disorderly loud party” in the 2500 block of Agate Meadows in White City at around 7:44 pm.<\/p>\n
According to the department, neighbors had reported a group of more than 25 subjects were inside the house and there were several speeding vehicles leaving the scene as well as other vehicles parked illegally in the neighborhood.<\/p>\n
“They were causing places to be blocked off, people couldn’t get out of their driveway. It did need to have a law enforcement response,” said Jackson County Sheriff’s Office PIO Mike Moran.<\/p>\n
Just before 8 pm, a deputy on scene reported being involved in a shooting. No officers were harmed. One individual received a gunshot wound that is non-life-threatening. The male subject is being treated at a local medical facility. There has been no indication given so far as to whether the man was unarmed.<\/p>\n
Moran said the call was not related to a violation of the new COVID restrictions limiting in-person gatherings. “I think it was more that it was a situation that was causing a concern due to disorderly behavior. It may have been a concern on the part of the folks who were observing it, but that was a minor portion of what the concerns were,” Moran said.<\/p>\n
The Jackson County Major Assault Death Investigation Unit (MADIU) was called out and is coordinating the investigation. “At a juncture where the team feels like they can release more information, I’ll be able to provide more details about identities of individuals involved,” Moran said.<\/p>\n
