Man was holding replica gun when shot

East Allen Times:

FORT WAYNE - Both the officer and the man who was shot a man on S. Harrison St. have been identified. Sergeant Mark Dolezal fired one shot at Yahree Cavin, 23, who was later pronounced dead at the hospital. Dolozel has been with the police department for 22 years and is a supervisor.

Officer Chuck Volz fired a taser at Cavin, at approximately the same time Sergeant Dolezal fired his gun. Police Chief Rusty York said it is common practice for one officer to have his gun drawn, while the officer will use a taser, if non-lethal force is necessary.

Chief York said both officers acted properly, and commended their actions.....
