Authorities say a Florida sheriff's deputy fatally shot a driver while attempting to stop him.
Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey told news outlets that the man was driving erratically Sunday evening when a deputy tried to stop him. The vehicle eventually stopped but then the driver took off again.
Ivey says deputies used stop sticks which flattened three tires, but then used a pit maneuver, employed by patrol cars to push vehicles, to stop the car.
The sheriff says that as the deputy approached, the driver "made an overt action that caused our deputy to fire."
It wasn't clear how many shots were fired.
The deputy was placed on leave with pay as the incident is investigated.
