MILAN – A 37-year old man was shot by a Berlin police officer while officers were responding to a resident’s request to remove a man from the home at 256 West Milan Road in Milan Thursday night at 8:50 p.m., according to Attorney General John Formella’s press release.

“As officers arrived, the male, Zachary Gagne, 37, approached the officers with a knife outside the home. During the officers’ interaction with Mr. Gagne, gunshots were fired by one of the responding officers.

“Mr. Gagne was injured by those gunshots and is currently hospitalized with what are reported to be non-life-threatening injuries. Officers were wearing body worn cameras at the time of the event, and that footage is being reviewed by investigators,” the release said.

No law enforcement officers were physically injured during this incident. 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.

The exact circumstances surrounding this incident remain under active investigation, the release said.
