An armed man is in the hospital and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday. The Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following the shooting Tuesday in which police returned fire on an armed man.

Two civilians were injured and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday, a department spokesperson said.


Corinth police spokesperson Capt. Jimmie Gregg said the Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following a shooting Tuesday. Police returned fire on an armed man in the 2600 block of Nash Drive.


According to a news release, Corinth police were dispatched to a call about a reckless driver following a 911 call at 8:20 p.m. on the Interstate 35E service road near Swisher Road. The vehicle was described as a Ford F-150 pickup truck, which police located in the 2600 block of Nash Drive about two miles away from the service road.


The release says police approached a man at a home in the neighborhood who was “immediately confrontational.” Gregg confirmed he was the “uncooperative, armed” individual from the 911 call about a motorist potentially driving while intoxicated.


Police attempted to calm the man and de-escalate the situation when they noticed a holster on the man’s waist, according to the release. The armed man didn’t comply and police used “a less-lethal device” to stop him, which was unsuccessful.


Gregg said he couldn’t say what device was used because the Texas Rangers are conducting their own investigation into the officers’ use of force. The Texas Rangers are routinely called to investigate the use of force incidents from law enforcement agencies.


When asked the same question, a Texas Rangers spokesperson said no additional information will be released pending the investigation.


The man fired a handgun at officers, who then returned fire, the release says. The man was shot and taken into custody.


According to the release, police provided the man with medical attention until paramedics arrived. He and a woman at the residence who was also injured were taken to Medical City Denton and were in stable condition as of Wednesday. None of the responding officers were injured.


Gregg referred questions about how many times the man was shot, the woman’s involvement, injuries and how she obtained the injuries to the Texas Rangers, who declined to answer and cited the ongoing investigation.


Gregg said upon the man’s release, he will be arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant.

What a biased and prejudicial article. The first fucking line... An armed man..
 
They shot at him first..3 times..literally almost hitting him and his wife

Yes...after he stood there for about 10 minutes yelling and screaming.

If someone told you that the cops are coming to shoot you an your choices were to sit there and let them or shoot back to possibly live what are you gonna do?

Go back in my house? Not stand there screaming at them for 10 minutes while they are at the end of my driveway and my door is open behind me- my escape route is already there. My house.



If a cop was choking you and said I’m going to kill you are you gonna just allow him to choke the life out of you or fight back what are you going to do?

When were the cops choking him? During the ranting and raving? During the time he had to calmly take his pull-over off? When his wife grabbed his arm and told him "come in the house"?

That white female cop literally try to take him out for no reason and almost took his wife life to.. was he suppose to be a good lil boy and accept death or say fuck that I want to live and go survival mode?.. that dude chose to live..applaud that man

Survival mode would have started by...(watch this) going back in the house. You're already home. The cops are at the end of the driveway. Your wife told you go in the house. Won't be a fire fight because you'd be inside. Cops are asshole monsters - you ain't proving shit by standing there screaming and pumping your chest. Be mad, big mad...inside the house.

Maybe he was already in the house and they called him out. I can't imagine he was just standing around outside chilling when they drove up.

If you are already inside with your family and you are called out.. What are your options then?

You could wait for a warrant.. But then that would be them invading your space with your family inside which could end up much worse.

Just a thought

They had guns drawn and told him to get down on the floor..going back in his house wasn’t optional.. they shot at him for nothing so what makes you think they weren’t going to shoot at him if he turned around and headed to his house

Are you going to blame him for being born black next?

There’s nothing in this vid that you can literally say them cops was in their right to shoot at him 3 times.. there’s nothing in this vid that you can say that his wife should’ve gotten shot at 3 times

You want to blame the black dude for having bloodthirsty killers trying to gun him down.. your answer was he should turn his back and get hit 3 times in the spine instead.. guess no cop ever shot innocent black people b4 they were all at fault and should’ve went inside to

That dude turns around and that white bitch screams he’s going for a gun and all them cops would’ve unloaded
 
How the fuck did they just start shooting at a man that had no weapon in his hand and with an unarmed civilian right next to him..they literally shot at this dude 3 times b4 he even went for his pistol
Are you being serious? Dude repeatedly said what he was going to do.

You would not only be a dumb cop but have no self awareness. Bruh he lifted up his shirt. What do you think he was doing? Looking for a pen?

Dude went for his gun after the 2nd shot was fired and the 3rd shot went off b4 he pulled the gun out.. you obviously can’t comprehend visuals and video..dude hands were to his side when they bust off 2 quick shots.. you obviously need glasses

Jesus nigs can’t even comprehend vids let alone words these days wtf going on in the world
 
I can't help wonder would he have confronted that cop in that manner, if he wasn't carrying a gun. That gun gave him a false sense of safety. He's not thinking, that cop was probably already scared for his life. What's really sad here is that video will clear the cop.
 
Exactly. Some of these cats want to be tough to their own detriment. Instead of yapping forever at these raggedy cops. Go back inside. Lock the fucking door. Tell them come back with a warrant. Live your life, fuck your wife etc....
Dude was in the wrong. You threatened anyone with gun play, unless they naive or dumb as fuck, most will be on high alert.

Once he repeatedly stated he wanted gun play, you have to believe him at that point. You walk aggressively towards anyone at that point, it may not end well.

You were 100% correct. Just go in the house and lock the door. If he was drunk in which it seemed then the cops were correct. I hate drunk drivers.
 
Did you see that the article stated he fired at the officers and THEN they returned fire...:smh:
They will do and say anything, including bold face lie to vilify us...
What’s worse is some nigs are watching the vid and actually thinking the cops were correct in what they did.. there’s actual vid and nigs are like but he was going for his gun..when clearly he went for his gun after shots were fired at him.. nigs eyes can’t even comprehend vids

You mean like all the incidents where white people have knives/guns out and don’t get shot at?

Yet a Blackman has no weapons in his hands and gets shot at 3 times…maybe his wife towel was the real threat that’s why she almost got hit

Two injured following police-involved shooting in Corinth Tuesday

An armed man is in the hospital and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday. The Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following the shooting Tuesday in which police returned fire on an armed man.

Two civilians were injured and two Corinth Police Department officers were placed on administrative duty following a shooting late Tuesday, a department spokesperson said.


Corinth police spokesperson Capt. Jimmie Gregg said the Texas Rangers are investigating the department's use of force following a shooting Tuesday. Police returned fire on an armed man in the 2600 block of Nash Drive.


According to a news release, Corinth police were dispatched to a call about a reckless driver following a 911 call at 8:20 p.m. on the Interstate 35E service road near Swisher Road. The vehicle was described as a Ford F-150 pickup truck, which police located in the 2600 block of Nash Drive about two miles away from the service road.


The release says police approached a man at a home in the neighborhood who was “immediately confrontational.” Gregg confirmed he was the “uncooperative, armed” individual from the 911 call about a motorist potentially driving while intoxicated.


Police attempted to calm the man and de-escalate the situation when they noticed a holster on the man’s waist, according to the release. The armed man didn’t comply and police used “a less-lethal device” to stop him, which was unsuccessful.


Gregg said he couldn’t say what device was used because the Texas Rangers are conducting their own investigation into the officers’ use of force. The Texas Rangers are routinely called to investigate the use of force incidents from law enforcement agencies.


When asked the same question, a Texas Rangers spokesperson said no additional information will be released pending the investigation.


The man fired a handgun at officers, who then returned fire, the release says. The man was shot and taken into custody.


According to the release, police provided the man with medical attention until paramedics arrived. He and a woman at the residence who was also injured were taken to Medical City Denton and were in stable condition as of Wednesday. None of the responding officers were injured.


Gregg referred questions about how many times the man was shot, the woman’s involvement, injuries and how she obtained the injuries to the Texas Rangers, who declined to answer and cited the ongoing investigation.


Gregg said upon the man’s release, he will be arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant.

The vehicle was described as a Ford F-150 pickup truck, which police located in the 2600 block of Nash Drive about two miles away from the service road.

The release says police approached a man at a home in the neighborhood who was “immediately confrontational.” Gregg confirmed he was the “uncooperative, armed” individual from the 911 call about a motorist potentially driving while intoxicated.

Police attempted to calm the man and de-escalate the situation when they noticed a holster on the man’s waist, according to the release. The armed man didn’t comply and police used “a less-lethal device” to stop him, which was unsuccessful.

Gregg said he couldn’t say what device was used because the Texas Rangers are conducting their own investigation into the officers’ use of force. The Texas Rangers are routinely called to investigate the use of force incidents from law enforcement agencies.

When asked the same question, a Texas Rangers spokesperson said no additional information will be released pending the investigation.

The man fired a handgun at officers, who then returned fire, the release says. The man was shot and taken into custody.

According to the release, police provided the man with medical attention until paramedics arrived. He and a woman at the residence who was also injured were taken to Medical City Denton and were in stable condition as of Wednesday. None of the responding officers were injured.

Gregg referred questions about how many times the man was shot, the woman’s involvement, injuries and how she obtained the injuries to the Texas Rangers, who declined to answer and cited the ongoing investigation.

Gregg said upon the man’s release, he will be arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault on a public servant.

Well good thing we have the ring cam, I asked earlier who released that video because it show didn’t help the police case in my eyes and he definitely don’t after hearing this bs report
 
Nobody is defending the cops, we just aren't defending this man either who could have preserved his life and his family by simply going into the house.
What makes you think he wasn’t going to get shot in his back.. you make it seem like it was a definite happy ending if he goes in his house

Most people would think as long as you not carrying a weapon in your hand you won’t get shot at..obviously in this case those cops didn’t follow those guidelines..so whose to think they would’ve just let him walk back in his house?
 
Nothing in the article says HE was drunk nor was there a toxicology report. I hate drunk drivers too but you're assuming way too much.
I don’t fucking with drunk drivers nor but
ok if he was drunk, he made it home and entering his house, he seem pretty attentive to me(now I’m no medical examiner).

The crazy part is the possibility of alcohol in his system still haven’t been addressed not that it even matters, just stating the reasoning for the call.
