MURFREESBORO, TN.<br />
A Murfreesboro officer was responding to a call about an attempted armored<br />
car robbery when the suspect charged at the officer with two knives.<br />
Associated Press<br />
MURFREESBORO, TN. — A police<br />
officer shot and killed a man<br />
who tried to rob an armored car<br />
employee in Tennessee and then<br />
charged at the officer with two<br />
knives, authorities said.<br />
Murfreesboro Police on Thursday<br />
released body camera<br />
footage of the shooting the day<br />
before, blurring out the face of<br />
Steven James Murphy and stopping<br />
the video just before he was<br />
shot.<br />
Police were called after Murphy,<br />
44, tried to rob a worker refilling<br />
cash in an ATM around 9:15<br />
a.m. Wednesday, Murfreesboro<br />
Police spokesman Larry Flowers<br />
said at a news conference.<br />
The worker pulled a gun on<br />
Murphy, who then ran inside a<br />
nearby deli, Flowers said.<br />
The body camera footage<br />
shows officer Adam Claiborne<br />
opening the door of the deli<br />
and say “hey” at Murphy, who is<br />
behind the counter. Murphy then<br />
turns and charges at the officer<br />
with knives in both hands above<br />
his head.<br />
Claiborne yells at Murphy to<br />
drop the knives before firing<br />
several times. Murphy died at the<br />
hospital a short time later, Flowers<br />
said.<br />
The officer, armored car worker<br />
and six employees in the deli<br />
were not injured. The Tennessee<br />
Bureau of Investigation is investigating<br />
the shooting.<br />
