A gas station employee was shot and killed by Parker police on Monday night after brandishing a gun at officers who were responding to calls about shots fired, officials said.

Officers responded to the area of Jordan Road and Mainstreet at around 10:20 p.m. after residents called 911 about hearing gunshots, the Parker Police Department said in a news release Tuesday.

Officers found shell casings and live ammunition in the parking lot of the T Square gas station at 17050 E. Mainstreet and spoke with the gas station employee, who initially said he witnessed the shooting.

“…the employee became very agitated with officers, was acting erratically and lifted his sweatshirt multiple times, brandishing a gun tucked inside his waistband,” agency officials wrote in a 2 p.m. news release.
