NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Police in Tennessee say an armed suspect was fatally shot after fleeing a traffic stop in Nashville.
A statement from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said Jocques Scott Clemmons was struck in the back and died during surgery at Vanderbilt University Medical Center on Friday.
According to police, Clemmons had parked his vehicle outside of a public housing development and was getting out when Nashville Officer Josh Lippert drove up to talk to him about running a stop sign. Clemmons was carrying a loaded .357 pistol and charged at Lippert, then ran through the parking lot of the development.
Lippert caught up with Clemmons, and the two had a physical confrontation. Clemmons refused orders to drop his gun. Believing he was in imminent danger, Lippert fired three times at Clemmons, according to police.
