BETTENDORF, Iowa (AP) - Authorities on Friday identified the man shot to death by a Bettendorf police officer.
Police said Timothy Alan Clevenger, 53, of Silvis, was killed in the Thursday afternoon shooting after officers responded to a Bettendorf home. Officers said Clevenger was holding a sharp-edged weapon near children, putting them in danger, when he was shot.
The Quad-City Times reported county records listed Clevenger as the owner of the home where the shooting occurred. It was registered as a child-development home.
Police said they won’t identify the officer who shot Clevenger until state investigators formally interview the officer. The officer is on administrative leave.
