A man who exposed himself and then took a gun away from a police officer was shot to death by another officer in the city's Olney section last night, police said.

Two 35th Police District officers responded to a 911 call at 8:44 p.m. in the 6100 block of North Marshall Street and encountered a man exposing himself, police said.

The man, whose name and age were not immediately available, became combative with the officers, took the sidearm of one officer, and fired it once without hitting anyone, police said.

The clip fell out of the gun, and the man pointed the gun at one of the officers, police said.

The other officer fired once, striking the man in the chest, police said. Medics pronounced him dead at the scene at 8:45 p.m.

Both officers sustained minor injuries and were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center to be treated, police said.

As in every such situation, the officers will be assigned to desk duty while the shooting is investigated by the Internal Affairs Bureau.
