BETTENDORF, Iowa — One man is dead after an officer-involved shooting in Bettendorf early Sunday morning.
It happened around 2 a.m. Feb. 7, 2021 on Kimberly Ridge Road in Bettendorf.
Officers located a vehicle related to an earlier domestic disturbance call, and police say a woman got out of the car to say the driver threatened to kill her with a handgun.
Police say the driver wouldn't comply with officers' orders to get out and then pulled a gun, so a police officer fatally shot the driver.
The driver was later identified as 49-year-old Brian Gregory Scott from Bettendorf. The Iowa Department of Public Safety confirmed his identity.
That officer has been identified as Zachary Gish, a three-year veteran of the Bettendorf Police Department. He was placed on paid administrative leave and the investigation is in the hands of the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation.
