South Mt Juliet Road North of Central Pike - 11:00pm

'...As the officer attempted to have the front passenger exit the vehicle, he hopped over to the empty driver's seat and began to drive away. The officer leaned into the vehicle in an attempt to stop the subject and gave commands for him to stop, which he ignored. He then drove from the initial scene with the officer fully in the vehicle and commanding him to stop. The officer then attempted to use a taser and issued further warnings trying to deescalate the situation, which the subject further ignored, resulting in the officer firing his service weapon, striking him. Though officers rendered aid after the vehicle stopped, the offender died from injuries sustained in the incident. No law enforcement officers were injured in the incident.'
