Dallas police officers say they killed a man after he took a stun gun from an officer and pointed it at them.
Police said Saturday that they responded to a call on the 1500 block of East Missouri Avenue at about 11:40 p.m. Friday.
When officers tried to handcuff a man at the location, police said the man struggled and grabbed a stun gun being pulled from its holster by the officer.
Police said witnesses heard the officers yell at the man to drop the stun gun. When he didn't, an officer fired his gun at the man, killing him.
