Officers were patrolling in the area when they identified a person of interest and approached the male to question him. During the interview, the man stood up and pointed a gun at officers. Officers gave several verbal commands to drop the gun, but he did not comply. An exchange of gunfire took place, during which the man and one officer were struck. Both were taken to an area hospital for treatment. The man, later identified as 39-year-old Anthony Ferguson, was pronounced deceased a short time later. The officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
