Indiana State Police say a man is dead after a police shooting in Marion on Sunday morning.

Troopers said 34-year-old William White died at the scene in the 3000 block of South Curfman Road.

The Marion Police Department said it first responded at an undisclosed time to a report of shots fired in the 1500 block of South Florence Street.

ISP said White was then pulled over in a traffic stop by Marion Police. Officers said White got out of the vehicle and started walking away, despite police orders to stay in the vehicle.

According to ISP, the officer then fired his taser which became ineffective. Troopers said that’s when white pulled out a handgun and the Marion police officer shot him. The officer, along with EMT’s on the scene, performed attempted life-saving measures but didn’t succeed.
