Officials said the incident took place at approximately 8 p.m. in the 20000 block of Johnson Road in Lincoln. The caller reported a domestic dispute involving a man identified as Kenneth Fisher, 49, who was allegedly armed with a handgun.
As the troopers approached, they witnessed Fisher attempting to evade apprehension by fleeing down Johnson Road. In his bid to escape capture, Fisher made a sudden change in direction and continued running.
The troopers immediately issued commands to Fisher, instructing him to stop and to display his hands. It was at this point that Fisher reached into his waist according to police. In response to Fisher’s actions, one of the troopers fired a single shot, however, it missed Fisher.
