Police investigate Johnson County shooting

Stones Crossing, March 30, 2004 - The Johnson County sheriff's department is calling Monday night's fatal shooting an apparent case of self-defense.

The shooting happened in the 72-hundred block of  Stones Crossing Road.

Investigators say Daniel Floyd confronted 44-year-old Bruce Mills, who Floyd said was breaking the windows out of a trailer.

When Mills approached him with an ax handle, Floyd shot him twice and killed him.

Police told Eyewitness News that Mills was upset because his mother died from cancer earlier in the day.

Toxicology reports on Mills are not back.  His autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday.

Prosecutors are considering charges against Floyd.
