COLUMBUS, Ohio - Police said they were reviewing 911 calls made just before a fatal officer-involved shooting.

Officers shot John Kaufmann to death inside a Beulah Road home Monday evening.

Police said that they responded to the home after they received two separate 911 calls about an incident at the residence.

Authorities looking through a window said they observed Kaufmann holding a gun to the other man.

Investigators entered the home and demanded that he drop the weapon, before firing multiple shots.
