An elderly man was fatally shot by police after he pulled a weapon on an officer at the Fox Hill Police Station, police said. Chief Superintendent Solomon Cash said the suspect, who is “well in his 70s”, was on bail for causing grievous harm. Cash said the suspect came into the station around 7 a.m. He was required to sign in as a condition of his bail. “As he walked into the station, the officer who was on duty at the time, asked him to present his I.D. “…When officer looked up at the suspect again, the suspect was pointing a handgun in the officer’s face,” Cash said. “The officer, being in fear, ran from the police station, accompanied with a female officer who was along with him… They hid behind the station. Then they noticed the same male suspect, [who] appeared to be in search of them. The officers produced their weapons, discharged at the male suspect, who also fired on the officers.
