A Mesquite police officer fatally shot a man Friday night after a dangerous police chase where he crashed into several vehicles before stopping and appearing to reach for something inside his car.
Mesquite Police said an officer tried to stop the driver of a Honda Pilot at about 8:45 p.m. Friday near West Scyene and Gross roads.

As the man exited his SUV, police said the officer gave verbal commands that were ignored by the driver. The man then reached back into the vehicle and was shot by the officer. Police performed first aid on the man and he was taken to a nearby hospital where he later died. Police said a gun was recovered from the man's vehicle.The officer is a 14-year veteran of the department, but police provided no other identifying details.
