Police shot a man after a standoff today in West Raleigh. Police say they heard what sounded like a gunshot outside of the RPD’s Southwest District Substation. Then a man armed with two guns ran into a nearby building, where he had a standoff with police for the next 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
The standoff on Hutton Street, near the corner of Hillsborough Street and Blue Ridge Road ended when an officer shot the gunman, Justin Lamar Thomas, 26, according to police.<\/p>\n
In a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Raleigh Police Chief Harry Dolan said Thomas went outside of the building several times and pointed a gun at officers and at himself. The last time Thomas left the building, Doland said, he pointed a gun at officers near the back door and an officer shot Thomas.<\/p>\n
Dolan said Thomas sustained “non-life-threatening injuries” and was transferred to WakeMed.<\/p>\n
The State Bureau of Investigations is looking into the incident, which is standard procedure when an officer is involved in a shooting.<\/p>\n
