Hamilton police say the shooting early Sunday morning came after officers were called to an address to look into a possible assault. They say officers ordered the 25-year-old man to stop beating the woman and was shot one time in the chest when he refused.
Police say the woman, who's 23, had serious injuries to her head and was taken by medical helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital. They did not have an update on her condition.
The officer who shot the man is on administrative leave pending an investigation.
Names were not released.

One of my favorite things is a cop killing a criminal. Solves many problems at one time.
