Roanoke County Police say an 18-year-old black man ignored their commands to drop a pistol before he was fatally shot by officers. Roanoke County Police Chief Howard Hall says the weapon they recovered from Kionte Spencer after the deadly encounter Friday night was a BB gun that looks very similar to a 9 MM pistol. Hall says the officers involved in the shooting have been placed on administrative leave. He declined to say how many officers were involved.
