Salisbury Police officers shot and killed a man early Sunday after he first fired at them, they say.
The shooting happened in the Civic Apartments at 715 Hall St., near the J.C. Price American Legion Post.
According to police, the man who was killed was an armed robbery suspect.
He was being pursued by one officer when he rounded a corner of the apartments and found himself facing three other officers.
“The male produced a handgun and fired it at the officers,” reads a news release from the police department. “Officers returned fire, striking the suspect.”
