COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Miller County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting from Monday that left a 35-year-old man dead.

The identity of the shooter and victim have not been released.

The press release from the sheriff’s office says it was called at 6:30 p.m. Monday to a residence on Big Oak Lane near Brumley “following a report of a home invasion and shooting.”

The release says that a woman at the residence stated her ex-husband kicked in the door of the home while he was armed with a rifle. A man inside the home shot the ex-husband, the release says.

The ex-husband was found dead by first responders with a gunshot wound. The case is being forwarded to the prosecuting attorney’s office, the release says.

“Due to the ongoing nature of the investigation and out of respect for those involved, the Sheriff's Office will not be releasing the identity of the deceased at this time. This was an isolated incident, and there was no threat to the public,” according to the release.
