"Police says the officers involved were wearing body cameras and they each fired multiple shots." bbm
"....around 12:40am. Officers say they saw a man with a revolver standing in the road. There were two officers in one vehicle and they asked the man to put the revolver down. Police say a witness also asked him to drop the weapon. Officers say instead of dropping the gun, the man raised his weapon pointing it in the air. He then lowered it and pointed it at the two officers.
Immediately after, HPD says they each fired multiple shots and he died at the scene."w
"A nearby gas station captured the scene and police say the video will confirm what happened, along with witness testimony...." bbm
