Indiana State Police detectives released the identity of the armed male involved in Thursday evening’s police-involved shooting with Jeffersonville police officers.
Forty-four-year-old Robert William Atkins, of 1501 E. 8th Street in Jeffersonville, was rushed to University Hospital in Louisville after investigators say he reportedly shot a handgun in the air and then pointed it toward responding officers.
Robert Atkins was initially listed in critical condition; however, the Jefferson County, Kentucky Coroner’s Office advised he passed away from his injuries on Sunday afternoon.
This case is still under investigation as ISP detectives continue interviewing witnesses and officers involved in the shooting. More information will be released as it becomes available.
The family of Robert Atkins has been notified.
A preliminary investigation by ISP detectives revealed that around 7 pm last Thursday, officers with the Jeffersonville Police Department responded to the apartment complex at 1501 E. 8th Street after receiving a 911 call about an allegedly mentally disturbed man walking around the parking area while armed with a handgun.
ISP detectives believe that after Jeffersonville officers arrived and made contact with the man, he fired a pistol in the air and then pointed the gun toward the officers.
As a result, at least one officer fired their department weapon, striking the subject.
After officers provided life-saving measures, the man was immediately taken to University Hospital in Louisville by ambulance.
He was listed in Critical Condition.
No officers were injured, and officers from both departments checked to ensure no apartment residents were harmed.

Early this morning, Troopers from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post began investigating a single vehicle crash on I-65 in Jackson County that claimed the life of a Chicago, Illinois man.
The initial investigation by Indiana State Police Crash Reconstructionists indicated that at approximately 4:00 am this morning, a 2016 Freightliner semi pulling a box trailer, being driven by Frederick D. Felder, age 37, Chicago, Illinois was traveling southbound on I-65 near the 43 mile marker. For an unknown reason, Felder’s vehicle left the west side of the roadway. The vehicle struck trees and a fence before coming to a rest.
Initial first responders on the scene found Felder deceased inside of the vehicle. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether he died as a result of the collision or whether a medical issue played a role in the crash. The Jackson County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene to pronounce Felder deceased.
The investigation is ongoing. Toxicology results are pending although alcohol and drugs are not suspected to be factors. The right lane of I-65 Southbound was closed through the area for several hours for crash investigation and cleanup.
Frederick Felder’s family has been notified.
