The encounter began around 1:40 a.m. when patrol officers stopped a 37-year-old driver for an equipment violation. The driver pulled over in a parking lot but sped away as officers exited their patrol vehicles. The driver crashed about 20 seconds later, and officers blocked his 2005 Ford Focus from driving away. When the driver refused to cooperate, officers used a Taser on him, then tried to remove him from the car, leading to a violent struggle. During the struggle, the man pulled out a handgun and began shooting at officers, prompting three officers to return fire, killing the man. Two officers were shot, one in the head and the other in the arm, and were rushed to a hospital. Both are expected to survive. |
