Chattanooga Police continue to investigate the scene at 1332 Florida Street in Brainerd where a man was shot and killed by officers responding to an early-morning home invasion report.A Hamilton County medical examiner’s report reveals police shot a man twice before he died last week during a drug-related home invasion robbery.
Ronald Lovell Wright, 32, was armed with a shotgun and went out the rear window of a residence at 1332 Florida St. after reportedly kicking down the front door.
Chattanooga police already had the home surrounded minutes after receiving a phone call from a neighbor who witnessed the break-in.
Wright reportedly brandished the gun at officers in the backyard, and four officers — Sgt. David Allen, Officer Justin Mitchell, Officer Bryan Moody, and Officer Jeremiah Cook — opened fire.
Residents nearby reported hearing as many as five gunshots.
