Durham Police officer shoots man near East by
David Graham THE CHRONICLE
A Durham Police Department officer shot a man once in the chest near East Campus at about 3:40 p.m. Wednesday. The man was taken to Duke University Hospital for treatment, according to a DPD statement. His name and condition were not immediately available. An officer on the scene said DPD received a call around 3 p.m. about a suicidal male in the left half of a duplex located at 1306 W. Chapel Hill St., approximately eight-tenths of a mile from East Campus. According to the statement, officers responding to the call found a man who had a shotgun under his chin and refused to drop the weapon. The man entered his apartment and refused to come out.
DPD then dispatched its Hostage Negotiation and Selective Enforcement teams to negotiate with the man. He later emerged from the apartment and pointed a gun at officers. One officer fired a shot, hitting him in the chest, the statement said. The State Bureau of Investigation and DPD’s Professional Standards Division will investigate the shooting in accordance with standard procedure for shootings involving officers, according to the statement. Several neighbors said they heard two or three shots but had not seen the shooting. One man said he heard a shot and saw multiple police vehicles arrive soon afterward. Other bystanders said they had heard only two shots total. SEE SHOOTING ON PAGE 4
