Officers watched surveillance video and a witness told them the man had fled on foot southbound across Eight Mile into Detroit. An officer came across a man who matched the description of the robber, police said. Backup arrived to find the man allegedly pointing a .45-caliber handgun pointed at the officer. Three officers fired 15 to 20 shots, killing the man.
