He was still armed and "turned toward the trooper in an aggressive fashion as he raised his gun, after which the trooper fired his service weapon, striking and injuring the suspect," according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, which will investigate the officer's actions.
Wilson had bonded out of jail Thursday morning on an arson charge and knew at least two of the victims, Stockton said.
