A man who had been cooking
methamphetamine in his kitchen was fatally shot by a North Little
Rock police officer when he pointed a gun at the officer during a
raid on the home.
Police didn`t release the name of either the man killed or the
officer who shot him after the raid Monday afternoon.
Police say officers who had obtained a search warrant for a
methamphetamine lab forced open the front door of the darkened home
about yesterday afternoon.
North Little Rock police spokesman Sergeant Jim Scott said an
officer saw the man pointing a gun at police and the officer fired.
Scott said the shooting appeared to have been justified, but it
is under investigation.
