(Fayette County, IN)--The name of the 71-year-old man who died in a police-involved shooting that began as a domestic disturbance near Everton on Sunday has been released. Investigators say Michael Sims pointed a gun at other occupants inside a home on County Road 200 East in Fayette County and then pointed it at deputies during an hour-long standoff. That’s when a Fayette County deputy fired at Sims. Sims was pronounced dead at the scene. The deputy who shot Sims remained on paid administrative leave Tuesday morning, as is standard protocol for all police shootings. The Indiana State Police is continuing its investigation.
