(October 9, 2008)—An investigation continues Thursday after a police officer shot and killed a suspect who, according to police, displayed a firearm during questioning.
Deputies from the Bosque County Sheriff’s Office were investigating a report of a sexual assault that occurred at a park on Highway 22 when they located a car in Meridian that matched the description of the one driven by the suspect.
The sheriff’s office says that as the deputy was questioning the suspect, the situation escalated when the deputy attempted to search the suspect.
The suspect proceeded to step away from the officer and turn toward his vehicle.
The officer drew his weapon.
When the suspect turned back around, he was displaying a firearm, according to the officer.
That was when the deputy shot the man in the upper torso.
The man died around 3:00 pm
The deputy was put on leave pending completion of the investigation.
The names of the deputy and the suspect were not released Wednesday.

I've never seen such stupidity!! I can not believe that anyone would take up for a scumbag who would sexually assault a woman, and then point a gun at an officer. These people would probably drive a getaway car for them!! I know the assault victom and would like for you to tell HER that this guy wasn't aggressive!!! That police officer did us ALL a HUGE favor! Thank you to him and all of the other men and women who protect us. God Bless
