Nashville, Tennessee police officer Christopher Royer, a four-year veteran, fatally shot a man who left the passenger side of a vehicle during a routine traffic stop, armed with two butcher’s knives and proceeded to act erratically before ultimately charging the police officer while armed with the two blades.

The traffic stop was conducted after the officer ran the license plate numbers of a vehicle shortly before midnight last night, and discovered that the tags – placed on a late-model Mercedes sedan – were registered to a much older green Chevrolet. Immediately after stopping the vehicle, a man exited from the passenger side of the sedan, armed with two knives, and began acting in a manner Police Chief John Drake described as “bizarre.”
