Union City police officers shot and killed a man who aimed a gun at them on Saturday night, police said.
Two patrol officers attempted to stop a car on Dyer Street south of Meteor Way at about 10 p.m. but the driver got out of the car and tried to run before reaching into the waistband of his pants, pulling out a handgun and aiming it at police confronting the officers, police said.
The officers then shot the man several times.
The suspect was taken to a hospital where he died a short time later.
A loaded handgun was found at the scene of the shooting, police said.
