Jamestown  (CSi)  Jamestown Police Chief Scott Edinger says the shooting incident on Wednesday February 21st continues under investigation.

He says the Jamestown Police Department and the Stutsman County Sheriff’s Office conducts its own internal investigation into the incident.

The items covered include: if policies and procedures were followed, and if appropriated use of force was applied.

He adds that the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation is handling the criminal investigation.

Chief Edinger pointed out that each of the officers and deputies involved in such a shooting are typically placed on paid administrative leave while the investigation is on-going and pending the results.

He adds that it’s likely to take some time until the investigations are fully completed, and if any prosecution of those involved is required.

Stutsman County Sheriff Chad Kaiser released the name of a Jamestown man, who died following a high speed pursuit on Wednesday this week, in a gun confrontation with law enforcement north of Medina.

He reports that 27 year old Michael Andrew Schieffer,  last known to be from Jamestown, died following the incident.

Kaiser says the City of Bismarck issued a warrant for Schieffer  for driving under suspension.  A Jamestown police officer attempted to pull him over while driving his vehicle, around 11:38 a.m. in the 1900 block of 12th Avenue Northeast, and the pursuit followed.
