FAIRVIEW, Tenn. (AP) - Authorities say police in Tennessee fatally shot a man who drew a gun on officers.
A statement from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says two officers from the Fairview Police Department responded early Tuesday to a disturbance call at a home in Williamson County.
The statement says officers encountered an armed man outside the home who refused to comply with commands and who drew his firearm after one officer deployed a stun gun that was ineffective. Authorities say that’s when one of the officers fired his gun, killing the man.
