(WEAU)- A Wausau police officer shot and killed a man who authorities say was wielding a knife.
The shooting happened Saturday night as police responded to a domestic incident at an apartment building in Wausau.
Wausau Police Patrol Capt. Matt Barnes told reporters Sunday that police found probably cause to arrest a man, who was not at his apartment, and started to search for him.
The man was found outside but was able to enter a building around 10:20 PM. Barnes says an officer found the suspect and tried to arrest him, but the man grabbed a knife. The officer shot the suspect who died at the scene.
The officer has been placed on standard administrative leave.
