Probe into officer's shooting of knife-wielding man continues

MILAN - The Attorney Generals Office has released more information in connections with an officer-involved shooting in Milan on Thursday.

The investigation has revealed that around 8:50 p.m. officers with the Berlin Police Department were dispatched to 256 West Milan Road in Milan in response to a resident's request to remove an adult male from the home. As officers arrived, the male, Zachary Gagne, 37, approached the officers with a knife outside the home.

During the encounter with Gagne, gunshots were fired by one of the responding officers. Gagne was injured by those gunshots and is currently hospitalized with what are reported to be nonlife-threatening injuries. Officers were wearing body worn cameras at the time of the event, and that footage is being reviewed by investigators.

No law enforcement officers were physically injured during this incident, and no further information is expected to be provided until the identity of the officer using deadly force is disclosed following a formal interview, which is expected to occur sometime next week.
