## Resource

A deadly confrontation erupted in Memphis early Sunday when National Guard troops opened fire on a 20-year-old man, Tyrin Johnson, during a high-speed chase. Johnson, armed with a handgun, fled from police after shots were fired, and as he turned toward the guards, two soldiers discharged their weapons, killing him. No officers were injured. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is now investigating the incident, which occurred amid ongoing controversy over the National Guard’s deployment — a federal initiative to combat Memphis’ violent crime, despite local officials’ legal challenges and evidence that crime was already declining before the troops arrived.
