Daniel Duncan says Albany police officers at 6 p.m. Friday contacted a man identified as 51-year-old Thomas Leonard Jones of Albany about the alleged violation. Duncan says Albany Police officer Jim Estes advised that Jones had a knife and said he wasn’t going back to jail. Duncan says Jones threatened Estes and came at him with a knife in each hand. Duncan says Estes repeatedly ordered Jones to drop the knives before shooting Jones in the leg. Jones was taken to a hospital for treatment. Corvallis police are leading an investigation.
