An uniden­ti­fied man who fired at the po­lice dur­ing a chase in Cunu­pia to­day, has been killed.

Res­i­dents of Richard Lane, Cunu­pia, re­port­ed see­ing a group of armed men in the area around 9:45 am on Fri­day, Au­gust 12.

As mem­bers of the Cen­tral Di­vi­sion Task Force (Area North) re­spond­ed, they saw an African male bran­dish­ing a gun.

Re­fus­ing to com­ply with in­struc­tions to drop the weapon and sur­ren­der, the sus­pect shot in the di­rec­tion of the law­men who re­turned fire.

As the sus­pect turned in­to a lane lead­ing off Richard Lane in an at­tempt to es­cape, he was con­front­ed by a sec­ond group of of­fi­cers—up­on whom he al­so fired.

This group of law­men al­so re­turned fire, hit­ting the sus­pect sev­er­al times.

Of­fi­cers went to the man’s as­sis­tance as he fell to the ground.

He was tak­en to the Ch­agua­nas Health Fa­cil­i­ty where he was pro­nounced dead.

Of­fi­cers re­cov­ered a Glock 22 pis­tol at the scene.
