An armed man was wounded in a police-involved shooting in east Raleigh early Tuesday evening, spurring an agitated crowd to travel to the Raleigh police chief’s home to seek answers.
A large crowd later appeared in downtown Raleigh and marched through various streets, blocking the roads and continuing to chant well into Wednesday morning. A U.S. flag was taken from the Executive Mansion by protesters and later burned in the street.
The shooting incident was first reported as a man with a gun around 6:45 p.m. in the 1000 block of North Rogers Lane near Rogers Farm Drive, which is an area just off New Bern Avenue, according to Raleigh police.
“When officers arrived at the scene, they observed an individual who matched the description given by the 911 caller,” a police news release said.
As police arrived, the man ran and he was chased by police. During the chase, police ordered the man to drop his gun, according to the news release.
“During the chase, (the suspect) was shot one time by a responding officer,” the news release said.
Police later said Javier Torres, 26, who was shot, was taken to WakeMed for treatment. A gun was found nearby, police said.
A large agitated crowd at the scene demanded answers from police, who did not release significant information until four hours after the shooting.

A criminal is dead. Probably because he was evading arrest and holding a dangerous weapon.

Obama's non-words: "Facts? We don't need no stinkin' facts!"
When they start protesting black on black murders and black on everyone else murders, I will pay attention.
Didn’t it used to be “Stop, or I’ll shoot.”? Not much ambiguity about what happens if you don’t comply.
