Police shot and killed a man who pointed a gun at officers who were trying to arrest him on an outstanding warrant at a gas station in southern Pennsylvania.
Authorities announced Wednesday that an arrest warrant has been issued for 37-year-old Richard Bolen on charges including aggravated assault after he allegedly “brandished a firearm at a police officer” while fleeing a business.
State police said in a news release that Hanover police responded to Bolen’s SUV after it was spotted at a Sunoco gas station on Friday. Police said Bolen entered the gas station, jumped out the back, and circled to the front of the station with his handgun drawn.
