Billy Jack Barker ran from officers when they tried to take him into custody. They chased him on foot for a short distance and told Barker to stop and show them his hands. He allegedly tried to get something from his waistband several times, and Bessemer City Police Officer D.F. James and C.L. Jarvis shot and killed him.
