Suspect Shot and Killed by Springfield Police Officer

Springfield Police Officer Jeff Ferneau is on administrative leave with pay (standard department procedure)after shooting and killing an armed suspect.

Donald Gaches fled from officers responding to a reported assault on a woman at 701 E. Elm Street.

Gaches had apparently fled to his apartment and Ferneau negotiated with him for a few minutes through the door, before Gaches opened the door and lunged at the officer with a large knife.
