SEBASTIAN, Fla. — Two Sebastian officers are on administrative leave after police said they fatally shot a 41-year-old man, who was armed with a shotgun, Thursday night.
During Friday morning news conference, interim police Chief Tim Wood said the situation began at about 9:25 p.m. when officers arrived at a home in the 500 block of Joy Haven Drive for a noise complaint.

Police said after officers arrived, they made contact with the suspect's mother. While they were speaking with her, Wood said officers could hear a man, later identified as Keaton Daucher, 41, yelling inside the home.
Wood said Daucher then came out of the home with a shotgun, prompting the two officers to discharge their weapons, killing him. Police said it was unclear if Daucher, who lived at the home, pointed the shotgun at the officers or if he fired any shots.
Police said that law enforcement had previously been at the house before Thursday, however it was unclear how many times.
