LONGWOOD, Fla. - A Florida man – who appeared to be drawing a gun toward an officer, police say – died after he was shot in an officer-involved shooting at a Circle K in Longwood.

What we know:

The Longwood Police Department responded to a 911 call around 9 p.m. Jan. 13, in which a store clerk called about a man inside the store who was armed with a gun and threatening to harm himself, the department said. The incident happened at a Circle K gas station on 1001 West State Road 434.

An officer attempted to de-escalate the situation by talking to the man, but according to the department, the man did not cooperate with the officer. Rather, the man's comments and actions seemed to indicate that he was provoking officers, Longwood Police said.

He hid his hands while police were talking with him and repeatedly claimed to be armed, the department said. 

In a Jan. 16 statement, the department said the man pulled his hand from his waistband and raised it in a "hostile manner." He appeared to simulate drawing a gun, police said. 

The department released its officer body camera footage of the incident, which shows the man lifting his shirt and holding up his hand over his head.

In response, an officer shot the man multiple times. The man continued to resist while he was being cuffed, the department said. 

Officers gave the man first aid and called paramedics to the scene. The man was taken to a hospital for emergency surgery.
