After reportedly threatening people outside a store with a firearm, Sterling was confronted by two Baton Rouge police officers before a confrontation ensued.
After wrestling Sterling to the ground, one officer can be heard shouting “He’s got a gun. Gun!”
Officers are said to have recovered a firearm from Sterling after shooting him in the neck and chest.
Reports indicate that Sterling, a felon, was not permitted to carry a firearm.
