BEAVERCREEK, Ohio (AP) — Police in the Dayton area say an officer shot a man to death who charged at police with a knife in his hand during a domestic violence call.

Police in suburban Beavercreek said in a statement Monday that it was first time an officer from their department has killed a suspect in the city of nearly 40,000 people. Police say they were called Sunday evening to a domestic disturbance at an apartment complex in which a woman was hurt by her husband.

Police offered condolences to the family of the man identified as 45-year-old Scott Brogli. The Montgomery County coroner's office planned an autopsy, and the unnamed officer who fired the shot was placed on administrative leave as a standard procedure.

No other details were available immediately.
