Police: Officer shoots man who pointed gun during pursuit

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says police fatally shot a man who pointed a gun at an officer during a pursuit. The man was seen driving erratically Thursday near a high school and a deputy with the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office attempted to make a traffic stop. The bureau said in a statement that the driver reportedly fired shots out the window and fled. At one point, he drove into a yard and ran behind a home.
