The police in St. James are investigating a fatal shooting along Granville Drive following a confrontation between officers and an armed man.
Members of the Area One Fugitive Apprehension Team were reportedly on mobile patrol on Saturday when they spotted a man standing along the roadway.
On seeing the police, the man briskly walked into a nearby lane, raising suspicion.
Officers say they identified themselves and ordered him to stop.
However, the man reportedly turned, pulled a firearm from his waistband, and pointed it at them. That&rsquo;s when shots rang out and the suspect fell to the ground.
The lawmen say they recovered a black Taurus G2C pistol. The weapon was loaded with a single 9-millimetre round, and the serial number had been erased.
The man, who remains unidentified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
