Two officers are on paid administrative leave while Albertville police investigate Monday night's shooting that left a man dead. Assistant Police Chief Major Jamie Smith says the shooting appears justifiable. As officers investigate a domestic disturbance, a man fled in a pickup and took officers on a three mile chase and the officers shot the suspect as the chase ended on Walnut Street. This is the only time Albertivlle officers have used deadly force. Smith says there have been times when they've shot out tires, and they have drawn weapons on suspects in the past. Names in this case have not been released pending the investigation by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation.
