The two officers who fired their guns struck the man “about the body,” Durham said. He was pronounced dead at 10:31 a.m. at a hospital.

McCoy said she saw the man bleed out before her eyes. It was clear, McCoy and other witnesses said, that he died at the scene.

“I’ve never really witnessed anything like that,” she said.

She was shaken up and took the rest of the day off from her job at the diner, where she is in her second week of waiting tables.

Her co-worker Taryn Kelly said she heard the officers telling the man to drop the weapons and stop moving toward them before they fired. She recounted the story between serving customers; the diner had closed after the shooting but reopened at 12:30 p.m.

“It wasn’t like a police brutality thing,” she said. “He was acting real crazy.”

Investigators are reviewing body-worn camera videos taken by officers at the scene. Those videos will not be released immediately because of the ongoing investigation, police said.

Police said they will release the man’s name once an identification has been made and his relatives have been notified.
