(Des Moines, IA) — The Iowa attorney general’s office will take over the investigation of a fatal police shooting at the scene of a house fire. Jones County Attorney Kristofer Lyons made the request Thursday. That means Attorney General Tom Miller will ultimately decide if criminal charges should be filed in the death of 45-year-old Jeremy Michael Berg. He was killed last Tuesday. Two Jones County deputies and three Anamosa police officers fired shots after they say Berg refused to drop the knife in his hand. Multiple police and fire departments responded to the location in a rural area near Martelle.
