The Texas Rangers have been called in to investigate a shooting involving a Denton police officer during a hostage situation early Saturday morning.
The man fell to the ground and was still holding the knife so police say officers deployed a Taser to disarm him. The man was taken to the hospital where he died a short time later. His identity is not being released pending family notification.
No officers were injured and the Texas Rangers are investigating. The officer who fired his weapon is a three-year veteran of the Denton Police Department. Per department policy, the officer is on administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation.
