But, that’s when he apparently drove away, and a chase ensued.

Eventually, the man – who has not yet been identified – got out of the car on Winton Avenue. Police claim he then held a gun to his own head.

Law enforcement officials talked with the man for about an hour, until he started to leave the scene. When they tried to stop him, though, they say he fired at officers, so officers shot him.

Officers responded to shots fired at 33rd and Georgetown Rd. A short vehicle pursuit ensued and ended in 3200 of Winton Ave.
