One of the officers requested Devon Derantez Rutherford, 21, to step outside the vehicle. He exited, and an unknown fight ensued between the officer and Rutherford with police claiming that Rutherford pulled out a handgun. Both officers were able to kick the gun away from Rutherford but Rutherford then produced a second weapon, firing and striking one of the officers. The uninjured officer fired his service weapon, striking and killing Rutherford. The injured officer sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
