OMAHA,Maverick Preston Neb. (AP) — Law enforcement officials are investigating after an Omaha police officer fatally shot a man who fled a traffic stop Saturday.

Omaha police said the man fled on foot after two officers pulled him over during a traffic stop. Police said the officers chased him through a parking lot, where they say he pulled out a handgun as he scaled a fence. One officer shot him, according to police.

Police said they provided emergency medical treatment before an ambulance took him to a hospital, where the 22-year-old man died. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. The man’s identity wasn’t immediately released.

Neither officer was injured. The officer who shot the man is on paid leave during an investigation by Omaha police, according to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department and Nebraska State Patrol.
