Officer Josh Lippert pulled over Jocques Scott Clemmons, 31, for running a stop sign. Police say Clemmons got out of the car and started a fight with the officer. Clemmons then ran through the parking lot while appearing to hold something in his waistband. Officer Lippert was able to catch him, but as he tried to arrest Clemmons, they reportedly had another fight. Police said Clemmons fell to the ground and dropped a fully loaded .357 magnum pistol. Lippert saw the weapon and tried to kick it away, but Clemmons reportedly grabbed the gun and picked it up, and Lippert shot and killed Clemmons.
