Police said that Kern was in the middle of the street impeding traffic at around 10:30 p.m. Kern reportedly had a gun visible on his waist and appeared to be extremely upset. According to police, when they told him to show his hands, Kern instead reached for his gun. An officer then shot Kern three times, and he was pronounced dead at a hospital.
