Name withheld by police

How they died

Deadly force

Officers were dispatched to a shooting call at a restaurant. The man, who had been denied entry into the same restaurant the day before for carrying a gun, fired a round and grazed an employee in the head, police said. After the shooting, the man fled to an adjacent game room. The officers cleared the game room and found the gunman hiding upstairs in an attic-like area between two air-conditioners. They ordered him to show his hands, but he did not. A shot rang out, and the officer, thinking that he was being fired at, shot at the man. Officers weren't able to make contact with the man again. They approached him and found him shot in the head, with a pistol in his left hand, around 5:30 a.m. It was not immediately clear if the fatal round was fired by an officer or by the man himself.
