Police made a traffic stop at 10:44 p.m. when the male passenger got out of the vehicle and did not follow officers’ commands, police said. He pulled a handgun from his waistband, and officers shot him, police said.
The man was taken to Atrium Medical Center, where he died. The “officers involved have been placed on administrative leave, per department policy,” police said.
Steve Irwin, BCI spokesman, said his office was requested shortly before 1 a.m. Saturday morning.
