Huntsville police shot and killed someone while investigating a report of domestic violence on the south side of the city overnight.

“While officers were attempting to make contact with an armed individual involved, the individual was shot and killed,” said Rosalind White, HPD Public Information Officer in a press release. “No officers were injured during the incident.”

White said the shooting happened shortly after midnight Saturday when officers responded to a domestic violence call on the 2100 block of Chadburn Drive Southwest.

“We are aware of the shooting but we have no details right now,” Tim Gann, the chief deputy district attorney for Madison County, told AL.com on Saturday morning.

The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is handling the investigation, which is standard procedure when the police shoot someone.

White declined to answer questions about the case.

A spokesperson for ALEA did not immediately respond to questions from AL.com on Saturday morning.
