Tennessee's lead law enforcement agency is investigating an officer-involved shooting of a man who allegedly opened fire outside a Jewish school in Memphis on Monday afternoon.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced in a press release on Monday evening that it has launched a probe into the incident at the request of Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy.

Preliminary information indicates that an armed man, whose identity has not yet been released, attempted to enter a school on South White Station Road in Memphis just before 12:30 p.m. CT. The man reportedly fired shots before driving away in a car, according to the TBI.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. CT, a Memphis police officer located the suspect's vehicle a few miles away on McCory Avenue. The driver reportedly got out of the car holding a gun and, "for reasons still under investigation, the officer fired his service weapon, striking the individual," the TBI said.
