Memphis Police Department officer shoots, kills man accused of gas station stabbing
A Memphis police officer shot and killed a man who allegedly stabbed someone at a gas station, the Memphis Police Department confirmed June 23. Early on June 23, an officer responded to a call at a gas station at 4260 Winchester Rd., where a man had been stabbed. The officer found a man armed with 'an edged weapon on scene,' a statement from MPD said. 'As the officer attempted to arrest the suspect, the man attempted to stab the officer,' the statement said. 'The officer discharged his weapon, striking the subject. The officer immediately rendered aid and requested assistance from the Memphis Fire Department.' Kim Wheeler, a Tennessee Bureau of Investigation public affairs officer, said during a press conference that the man was initially standing outside the building before retreating inside. When the officer followed the man inside, the individual "refused to surrender," and advanced on the officer with a screw driver. The officer was struck by the screw driver in his protective vest, and the officer fired his weapon in response. The man was taken to the hospital and later died. Wheeler said the investigation is ongoing and could not comment on the relationship between the suspect and the other man inside the gas station who was stabbed. The other man who was stabbed was released from the hospital after being treated for non-critical injuries. This is a developing story and will be updated.
