\nOfficers with the Jeffersontown Police Department shot and killed a robbery suspect when the man pulled a semi-automatic weapon from his waistband, Chief Rick Sanders said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sanders said a customer walking into the Jimmy John’s at 3121 South Hurstbourne Parkway was robbed at gunpoint shortly after noon on Tuesday. The victim and restaurant manager gave police a description of the gunman.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival at 12:42 p.m., officers were able to track the man down to the Holiday Inn next door, where they saw the man place a backpack behind a dumpster. Sanders said the officers told the man to put his hands into the air and to stop running. At that point, Sanders said, the suspect pulled a gun out of his waistband, and the officers fired several shots, striking him multiple times.<\/p>\n

Sanders said while the officers were attempting first aid on the man, a syringe loaded with suspected heroin fell out of the man’s pocket. The suspect was taken to University of Louisville Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Both officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave while an investigation into the shooting is completed.<\/p>\n

The Louisville Metro Police Department’s Evidence Tech Unit will help investigate the incident.
