Roger Heard Jr. "fired multiple shots at point blank range" at an officer before police shot him in an exchange of gunfire at a Chattanooga gas station on the evening of Aug. 11, according to a statement Sunday from Hamilton County District Attorney Coty Wamp.

Wamp also released security camera footage from the incident, which left a Chattanooga police officer injured and resulted in Heard's death.

Heard shot investigator Celtain Batterson, striking him in his right arm, according to Wamp. Batterson was later taken to a hospital. Per protocol, Batterson and two other officers, Nicholas Ayres and Christopher Dyess, were placed on paid administrative leave in connection with the shooting, according to the Chattanooga Police Department.
