Just days after Lebanon police officers say they shot an armed man who then turned his gun on himself, the man died, officials said.
The man, identified as 56-year-old Dione Eric Kellum, died Tuesday at Miami Valley Hospital, according to the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office.
The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Saturday outside a home on East Mulberry Street. The homeowner called 911 to say there was a man outside threatening to shoot them, McCutchan says.
Lebanon police officers and Warren County sheriff’s deputies responded and say they found Kellum holding a handgun.
Kellum fired a shot into the ground while the officers and deputies were trying to de-escalate the situation, McCutchan said. Then Kellum allegedly began to raise his gun in the direction of the officers, prompting two officers to shoot him.
