BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — A man killed by a Baton Rouge police officer had tried to run when confronted during a child abuse investigation, fought with the officer and kept resisting after being shot, authorities said Tuesday.

The Louisiana State Police said 24-year-old Calvin Toney "attempted to flee on foot" when a state child welfare case worker and the city officer showed up Monday evening at an apartment complex and had a "lengthy struggle" with the officer, who used a stun gun on Toney multiple times.
