Two officers stopped Jason Thomas Christian, 32, because he had outstanding traffic warrants. Police also wanted to question Christian because he was a suspect in thefts from motor vehicles in Columbus, Whitehall and other places in central Ohio. When they turned on their cruiser's lights, Christian pulled the Honda Civic over at a Mobil gas station. An officer opened his car door, grabbed him, and he tried to drive off. The officer shot and killed Christian, and both fell onto the pavement. The unoccupied car continued rolling forward, jumping a curb and running into one of the service station's air machines before coming to a stop.
