Devin Montgomery pulled a handgun and fired multiple times at officers who attempted to confront him Thursday afternoon at an apartment complex, police said Saturday in a news release.

One of the officers returned fire and hit Montgomery, 23, who fell to the ground and was apprehended, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. One of the gunman’s shots hit a police vehicle but no one was hurt.
