A man is facing charges following an officer-involved shooting in Fort Wayne Monday night.
Police were called to Gateway Plaza on Goshen Ave. around 9:50 p.m. on reports of a man armed with a gun. Witnesses told police he was acting suspiciously behind the plaza.
When officers arrived, they found Noah Busche walking around with a gun sticking out of his pants.
Police had to pursue Busche, who fled towards Cambridge Blvd. Police say something he did caused an officer to open fire, causing a gunshot wound to Busche’s hip. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Busche has since been interviewed by police, stating he doesn’t remember having a firearm and his memory of the event is spotted.
No firearm has been recovered from the scene, but officers are still investigating.
Busche is facing charges of Carrying a Handgun Without a License and Resisting Law Enforcement.
The officer involved in the incident was later identified as Officer Jason Fuhrman. He has been placed on Administrative Leave per department policy.
