He was shot dead as he got into a vehicle.
According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation,... Webber "rammed his vehicle into the officers' vehicles multiple times before exiting with a weapon."
As news of his death spread, protestors destroyed a concrete wall outside a business and smashed the windows of squad cars and a fire station.
