According to the Bloomington Police Department Arrest Warrant for Alex Lee Nunn:
On March 30, 2023, Officers from the Bloomington Police Department were dispatched to the apartment located at 902 Turnberry Dr. for the report of an armed subject. The caller recalled seeing two men outside his apartment and that one of those men was armed with a gun. The caller also advised that he had heard at least one gunshot.
According to the arrest warrant, the first two police officers at the scene went to the door of the building and saw a man matching the description of one of the two men by the caller. The officers entered the hallway of the building and attempted to talk to the man. The man pulled a gun from his waste band at pointed it at the officers. One officer fired shots as the two officers exit the building.
The man was later identified as Nunn. In the video Nunn can be seen in the hallway. The officer’s shots can be heard as three pops. An officer can be heard telling Nunn to put his hands up.
Nunn remained in the hallway and held on to his gun according to the report. The officers told Nunn numerous times to drop the gun. Nunn was holding the gun above his head. Then Nun lowered the gun and was shot.
What the report doesn’t describe and the video shows is that Nunn had his hands up with the gun in his left hand. Then he lowered the gun and put it under his chin with the barrel pointing up as if he is about to commit suicide. That’s when he was shot.
