The state DCI has identified the victim of a police shooting in Panora Sunday as 26-year-old Joshua Reed of New Virginia.

The Iowa DCI says the Panora police department had received a 911 call just after 7 p.m. Sunday about a man in an apartment complex with a knife who was threatening people. Police say that man, who was Reed, came at officers with the knife and refused to drop it after being told several times.
