GAHANNA, Ohio (WCMH) – A Gahanna police officer shot a knife-wielding 19-year-old on Thursday morning, according to the Fraternal Order of Police.

The shooting happened at about 9:45 a.m. in the 300 block of Lincolnshire Road, just east of Interstate 270.

According to a city of Gahanna spokesperson, all officers are safe and there is no threat to the community. The spokesperson said an officer was responding to a mental health situation and shot the individual, who was taken to a hospital.

The man has been identified as Makhi McMillan, 19.

The officer who shot McMillan began rendering aid immediately, according to police.

The FOP said McMillan was threatening to hurt a family member and ignored the officer’s commands to drop the knife.

A large section of Lincolnshire Road was closed while detectives continued their investigation.

McMillan was hospitalized in serious condition, and he has been charged with felonious assault.

The shooting is the fourth such incident to occur involving a law enforcement member over the past two weeks. On May 26 Morrow County Deputy Daniel Sherrer was killed during an encounter on a domestic disturbance call. Four days later a Marysville officer was struck during a similar call. And on May 28 two officers were injured in a shooting after a traffic stop in Mifflin Township.
