GREENFIELD – Officials with the Indiana State Police say an officer from the Greenfield Police Department, senior patrolman Jarrod Davis, shot and killed a man assaulting a woman Sunday morning in Greenfield.

The man killed has been identified as Darrin Baker, 56, Indianapolis. Police say Baker knew the woman he was allegedly assaulting.
According to police, officers from the Greenfield Police Department responded to the 700 block of Bobtail Drive on a report of a domestic issue in progress with possible shots fired around 8:41 a.m. Sunday.
