A man was shot to death by a police officer late Monday inside a southern Indiana Walmart after he charged at the officer while armed with a machete, according to Indiana State Police.

CLARKSVILLE — A man was shot to death by a police officer late Monday inside a southern Indiana Walmart after he charged at the officer while armed with a machete, officials say.

It all started about 11:15 p.m. when employees at a Walmart at 1351 Veterans Parkway in Clarksville called 911 to report a suspicious person, later identified as Scott, walking around the building. The store had closed to the public 15 minutes earlier and Scott was refusing employee's requests to leave, according to ISP.

The officer then fired his gun, hitting Scott. Officers provided medical aid until Scott was transported to Clark Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. An investigation found that Scott may have taken a razor and the machete from inside the store before he was asked to leave.
