A Dickson, Tenn., police officer shot and killed a man Sunday afternoon after a pursuit that ended with the man pulling a knife, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
TBI spokeswoman Susan Niland said a Dickson police officer was chasing a stolen vehicle, which eventually was stopped at the intersection of Buckner Ridge Road and Bear Creek Road in Hickman County. A second Dickson police officer came to the scene, she said. There was a physical altercation that ended with the shooting.
A passenger in the vehicle ran away and evaded a pursuing officer, Niland said.
The TBI violent crime response team collected evidence and TBI special agents were interviewing witnesses Sunday afternoon.
The TBI will give the completed case file to 21st District Attorney General Kim Helper for review.
