A gas station employee was shot and killed by Parker police on Monday night after brandishing a gun at officers who were responding to calls about shots fired, officials said.

Officers responded to the area of Jordan Road and Mainstreet at around 10:20 p.m. after residents called 911 reporting gunfire, the Parker Police Department said in a news release Tuesday. Upon arrival, officers found shell casings and live ammunition in the parking lot of the T Square gas station located at 17050 E. Mainstreet.

The officers spoke with a gas station employee, who initially claimed to have witnessed the shooting. Police attempted to convince the man to surrender peacefully. However, the 32-year-old employee grabbed a gun from his waistband and pointed it at the officers, prompting them to open fire.

Officers immediately started medical aid, but the man later died at the hospital. No officers were injured during the incident. Six officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave.

The 23rd Judicial District Critical Incident Response Team is currently investigating the shooting.
