Officers fatally shoot man outside tire store

A Kitsap County sheriff’s spokesman says law enforcement officers fatally shot a man outside a tire store in Poulsbo.

A witness tells KING 5 she saw the man waving a gun in the air at the scene.

“He shot two times up in the air,” said Lesley Gonzalez. “The police were around the cars and they were pointing guns at him telling him to put his hands up.”

The man killed was not immediately identified.

After police arrived, the Kitsap Sun reports people at nearby businesses said they heard a single shot followed by a volley of gunfire.
