VIRGINIA BEACH
A city police officer shot a man armed with a handgun late lastnight and police were still working on learning the man's identity this morning, they said. The man died at the scene.
Theshooting happened about 11:15 p.m. around the Indian River shopping centerat the intersection of Indian River Road and MacDonald Road, according to police.
The officer spotted the man near a 7-11 convenience store, police said. The officerconfronted the man and was forced to shoot, according to police. The man died in theshopping center parking lot, in the city of Chesapeake.
Theshopping center ison the Chesapeake/Virginia Beach border, and both departments were investigating early Wednesday morning.
No other details were available.
-----------------------
Interesting. The officer confronted the man and the next thing you know, the armed man is shot. Many important details were left out apparently, however it would be nice to know EXACTLY what happened.
When they say he was armed, do they mean "gun in holster" armed? Or brandishing armed? Who knows. I'm just trying NOT to do what this guy did to get shot.
