An encounter took place between the driver and the trooper causing a shot to be fired," the statement reads. The driver died at the scene, the statement adds, and the trooper was placed on administrative leave.
But a neighbor of Harris', Mark Barringer, who witnessed part of the confrontation, criticized the trooper's handling of the pursuit.
"They should've deescalated and been trained to realize that this is an entirely different situation," Barringer told NBC affiliate WCNC. "You're pulling someone over who is deaf. They are handicapped."
So Sad. Apparently there was a small chase, but it is unknown if he was just deaf and did not notice. The police ar not releasing the information at the moment....
Why judging before every fact is know. It sounds like all posters don't like to wait for all facts to be known.
Indeed it is very sad someone died. Being deaf doesn't make someone having to watch the road and seeing the lights flashing to be pulled over. If the person didn't speed than I doubt the cops would pull him over and neither would it happen if the person went just a few miles over the speed limit.
It seems right now a chase occurred.
We need to know how fast the guy going and why didn't he stop but kept speeding.

No we don't. You don't just gun down an unarmed man. He could have been fleeing. That is not a justification to just shoot him.
