Man killed by police in McKinney after foot pursuit through apartment complex
A man is dead after he was shot by a McKinney police officer on Friday afternoon as police responded to a call that a woman was being confronted by her adult son, the department said in a news release.
The 30-year-old man, whose name has not yet been released, was holding an ax and threatening the woman in the 3100 block of Medical Center Drive before she called, according to police. She managed to get away safely to call police around 4 p.m.
Officers arrived at the Magnolia Ranch Apartments and the man ran, according to police. Police followed him and at some point, at least one officer shot the man.
The man was taken to Medical City McKinney hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police did not say whether the man posed a threat to officers before they fired on him. The Texas Rangers have taken over the investigation, which is still in its early stages.
