Indiana State Police say a man is dead after a police shooting in Marion on Sunday morning.
Troopers said 34-year-old William White died at the scene in the 3000 block of South Curfman Road.
The Marion Police Department said it first responded at an undisclosed time to a report of shots fired in the 1500 block of South Florence Street.

The Marion police have turned over the investigation of the incident to the Indiana State Police. ISP will investigate the shooting and will present its findings to the county prosecutor.

The Marion Police officer is now on paid leave. The Marion Police Chief said he plans on releasing body camera footage of the incident as soon as possible.
No additional information was immediately known. Slocum said more information will be released later Sunday.
