The man shot and killed has been identified as Brett Cameron Carter, 34, from Sweeney, Texas.
On March 2, the Lake Jackson Police Department got a call about a man inside a dumpster at O.M. Robert's Elementary School. Before officers arrived, they said the guy stole a truck and took off.
During a chase through Brazoria County, police said the man rammed the truck into two vehicles, including a patrol car, and also tried to run over an officer.
DPS troopers threw down spikes near CR 192 and CR 193. After running over them, the man lost control and crashed into a ditch.
As officers approached the truck, they said the man jumped out and charged at them with a "large blade knife." They shot him and killed him.
Two LJPD officers have been placed on administrative leave as the Texas Rangers investigate this shooting. One of the officers has more than 30 years of law enforcement experience. The other has three years.
