A Homewood police officer shot and killed a man early Saturday morning after a struggle in which the officer was Tased with his own stun gun.

Homewood police spokesperson Sgt. John Carr said the officer "was forced to defend himself."

The officer suffered minor injuries, he said, and was treated and released from Brookwood Medical Center.

The incident occurred at around 1 a.m. at the Extended Stay America Hotel on State Farm Parkway in Homewood.

Carr said incident began when the officer stopped to speak with a man he saw while patrolling the parking lot of the hotel. The suspect "got into a struggle with the officer," he said.

During the struggle, the suspect was able to grab the officer's Taser and use it on the officer. The officer then shot the suspect, Carr said.

First aid was rendered at the scene, he said. The suspect was transported to UAB Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The suspect's name is being withheld pending notification of family.

The State Bureau of Investigation is now investigating the shooting at the request for the Jefferson County District Attorney's Office and Homewood police.

Perfectly worthy of deadly force at that point.

I went to High School not far from there.
Wildwood was a decent area then.
