An Auburn police officer shot a man Thursday night after attempting to arrest the suspect, who had a warrant out for his arrest.
The incident happened near Fenster Nature Park.
Officers were responding to a call about a blocking disabled car in the 300 block of T Street Southeast when they confirmed that one of the individuals involved with the vehicle had a warrant out for his arrest. The male ran from the officers, who then pursued on foot. The man pointed a handgun toward the pursuing officers, and one officer shot the man in response to this threat.
