MCKINNEY, Texas — A man died after being shot by McKinney police officers at a motel Friday morning, officials said.
The McKinney Police Department said it received several 911 calls at approximately 5:17 a.m. Friday morning "about an active disturbance involving a weapon at the American Inn Motel," which is located at 205 W. University Drive.
When officers arrived, they found a man armed with a machete. McKinney PD said officers gave the man multiple commands to drop the weapon and he did not. Rather, the man "continued advancing toward" the officers, McKinney police said.
Officers then shot the man, he was transported to a local hospital, where he died, police said.
The owners of the motel told WFAA that video of the incident was captured by the motel's surveillance cameras and also by their Tesla in the parking lot. The Tesla was also struck by errant shots. The owners said they have turned over all of the video to investigators.
The Texas Rangers have taken the lead on the investigation, police said.
