As per the version of Police, the whole incident started after a man was pulled over in his car and not complying with Police orders, he started to run.

The driver ran across the lanes and streets when one officer caught him and grabbed him.

Suddenly, more officers were rushing to that place as per the witnesses. As per investigators, the driver pulled out a handgun when a police officer shot at him. The driver died on the spot.

The department has shared no information about either the driver or the police officer. As per latest reports, the department is doing an internal investigation about the whole incident.

With an increase in officer-involved shooting cases, the last year was quite controversial for the Police department. There is a fine line between law enforcement and Police excess. The department should strictly follow the line restraining itself from shooting unless it’s for self-defense.
