South Dakota Attorney General Mark Vargo and the Division of Criminal Investigation released the summary of the officer involved shooting of 57-yer old Glenn Nisich of Sioux Falls by a Sioux Falls SWAT team member on July 3 in Sioux Falls. The report found that the officer involved in the shooting was justified in using lethal force. In a statement, Vargo said “The Division of Criminal Investigation conducted an independent, thorough and complete investigation into this incident at the request of the Sioux Falls Police Department.”
Nisich was wanted in connection with a homicide that occurred at a rural Minnehaha County home on July 2. Early the following morning, the Sioux Falls SWAT team was called out to assist with a search warrant and the apprehension of Nisich at a residence in east Sioux Falls. The Crime Negotiations Unit was on scene speaking to Nisich who was on a cell phone. Several hours later, Nisich pointed his firearm to the north and fired one round in the general direction of a police drone, the marksmen’s area, and occupied houses. The SWAT team member fired two shots at Nisich, hitting him one time. Nisich was later pronounced dead at the scene.
