The trooper and Knox County Sheriff Sheriff Hunter Embesi stopped semi truck near Benjamin. Rountree got out of the truck after stopping and had a firearm. He reportedly refused to follow the commands of the officers and pointed the gun at them. He was then fatally shot by both the trooper and the sheriff.
