A man is dead after firing at a police officer who was responding to a call at a VIA bus stop Monday evening on the city's East Side.
Authorities were called to Iowa and South Pine streets at about 5:45 p.m. for reports of the man pointing a gun at people near a bus stop.
When a nearby officer arrived, he started honking at the suspect to get his attention. The suspect swiveled around, and began shooting at the 30-year SAPD officer in his car, and he returned fire.
Shortly after, a VIA transit officer also arrived at the scene. The VIA officer also shot at the suspect.
When EMS arrived, the suspect was declared deceased.
