Police said Tegegne was attempting to flee when the officer responding to the armed bank robbery found him in a parking garage behind the BB&T Bank. Tegegne had a handgun and claimed to have a bomb he would use and was headed toward the subway station when officer LaPointe shot and killed Tegegne. The bomb claim was later disproved.
