CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - An autopsy report says a man killed by police patrolling a Durham public housing complex died from gunshot wounds to the head and thigh.
The report from the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said 34-year-old Frank Nathaniel Clark near the left ear and in the right thigh. The report also said toxicology tests showed cocaine, methadone, oxycodone, acetaminophen and nicotine.
Durham Police Chief C.J. Davis said the officers were patrolling the complex because robberies and other violent crimes recently increased by 20 percent in that area. At the time, officers said Clark made a sudden move toward his waistband while being questioned, prompting a struggle.
The three police officers said they heard a gunshot before one fired his weapon.
