The probationary officer and a training officer followed the man when he refused to stop, and they were able to engage him in front of a home after calling for backup.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators say the man quickly pulled a gun and pointed it at five officers at the scene. The department says four of the five officers pulled their guns and fired, killing the man at the scene.<\/p>\n<p>Police say the man had some type of aerosol can, possibly containing a flammable substance, but investigators think this played no role in his death.<\/p>\n<p>The man\u2019s name has not been released, and he was only described as being in his 30s or 40s.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Stay tuned to 550 KTSA and FM 107.1 for the latest in this developing story.<\/p>\n<p>More about:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"First Responders vehicles at work at night.
