Police said the officer-involved incident began around 6:30 a.m., when the suspect allegedly robbed a CVS Pharmacy at Southside Place.

It is believe he then took a bus to a McDonald’s on Bellaire, where police said he further terrorized a restaurant manager.

Authorities believe the suspect carried a knife, but they said he refused to drop what turned out to be a screwdriver and pair of scissors, further refusing to move from his stance in the middle of the street, when the officer shot.

A spokesmen from the department confirmed he later died of his wounds.
