Prosecutor: Man’s shooting by Boone officers justified

BOONE — The Boone County attorney says two officers were justified in shooting a man who was aiming what appeared to be a handgun at them. Authorities say Boone Police Sgt. Nathan Kester and Officer Joseph Slight shot and killed 28-year-old Michael Disbrowe on June 27. They’d been dispatched to check a report that an armed man was threatening people. The officers say they fired after Disbrowe pulled the weapon.
