Officers were dispatched Sunday morning on a report of an armed man wearing all-green clothing on a bike. Authorities say 35-year-old Kelvin Lee Plain Jr. fled on the bike, then on foot. The Department of Criminal Investigation says officers fired a Taser at Plain while he was running, knocking him to the ground. The department says Plain then fired a handgun at both officers.
