Chicago police shot and killed a man during an arrest after he refused to follow instructions and then pointed a gun at them.
Chicago Police Department Superintendent David Brown said in a news conference that, on Friday morning, officers were attempting to arrest a man, later identified as 34-year-old Klevontaye White, who was wanted on several warrants, before the fatal shooting occurred.
When officers approached him in his vehicle, White reportedly refused to exit also refused to adhere to their instructions.
Brown said that White then pulled out a firearm and proceeded to point it at law enforcement. Three officers and a U.S. marshal at the scene shot White, who was then taken to the hospital in “grave condition” before being pronounced dead.
