Police: Officer shot man trying to attack police
• RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) -- A man shot by police after trying to attack officers with a butcher knife outside of a Rapid City library remained in critical condition Friday at a local hospital, authorities said. • Officers responded to the library Thursday evening after multiple callers reported that a man had thrown a rock through a library window and was armed with a large knife, police said in a news release. • "Outside, the man aggressively attempted to attack responding officers with the butcher knife," police said in the release. • Officer Jerry Moore, a 25-year veteran of the department, fired several shots to stop the attack, police said. • KELO-TV reported that 20-year-old Elijah White Magpie remained in critical condition Friday at Rapid City Regional Hospital. • The officers were not injured. • Moore was placed on paid leave as the investigation began, which Assistant Chief Karl Jegeris told KELO-TV is "standard procedure" for officers involved in shootings. • Becky Moser-Eckmann, who was inside the library, told the Rapid City Journal that she was looking at a Sue Grafton novel shortly after 6 p.m. when she heard a loud crash that turned out to be a rock shattering a window in the library's foyer. • A library employee quickly told her and others "to stay inside where it was safe." Moments later, according to Moser-Ekmann, a girl came into the library screaming, "They shot my brother." • The investigation has been turned over to the South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation. •
