Man Shot by Police in Dallas
A man was shot by a Dallas police officer outside a check cashing store in the 1900 block of Martin Luther King Boulevard Wednesday night.
Police officers were involved in two separate shooting incidents in Dallas that left two men injured.
Just before 9 p.m. Wednesday witnesses said they saw Dallas police officers shoot a man near a check cashing business on Martin Luther King Boulevard near U.S. Highway 175.
Dallas police said officers were called to help with a shoplifting call in the 1900 block of MLK and when they arrived they found the security guard who made the call and a man with a knife. Police say officers used a stun gun on the man when he didn't follow officers' orders to drop the weapon, but the stun gun had no effect.
The man ran away and police say when officers caught up with him at a business in the 2300 block of MLK he ran toward officers with the knife still in hand. That's when police say officers shot the man.
Police said the man was transported to Baylor University Medical Center at Dallas for treatment. Police did not update his condition, but the Dallas County Medical Examiner's office said the man had not died. No officers were injured.
Earlier in the night, a man was shot as Denton tactical and narcotic teams conducted an investigation in the 3600 block of Frankford Road in a far northwest portion of Dallas that sits in Denton County.
It happened sometime after 7 p.m. Denton police say the man they were investigating shot at officers and at least one officer returned fire.
The man was shot and taken to Medical City Plano with non-life-threatening injuries. None of the officers were injured.
